Tips and Troubleshooting
• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, disconnect
from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn toaster upside down
and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil that could damage
heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in
bread color from side to side.

How to Toast
1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Place bread in slots. Select toast shade and press down
bread lifter.
NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless toaster is
plugged in.
3. At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up
automatically.
4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or
push the cancel button.
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the medi-
um setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerat-
ed may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels, made
locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels purchased
in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel setting only
energizes the outside wall heating elements. A second, shorter
toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness. Fresh
bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one
cycle on the darkest setting, if a darker shade is desired,
adjust shade selector to a lighter setting and toast for a sec-
ond cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English
muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English
muffins split with a fork.
• Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after toasting
one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow toasting
batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermostat to reset.

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that
