USE & CARE
Before first use, remove all packaging from toaster.
Check inside the toaster slots for packaging and
remove.
Note: Do not place any bread in the toaster during
the first toasting to allow the new elements to preheat
and burn off any dust that may have accumulated
during assembly.
1. Make sure the crumb tray is in place and the
bread carriage lever is on the UP position.
2. Set up toaster on a flat, stable countertop surface
away form the edge and at least 3 inches away
from wall or rear of counter.
3. Unwind the power cord and plug the power cord
into a nearby outlet.
4. Insert the desired slices of bread. Be sure the
bread carriage lever is on UP position.
5. Press the variable browning control to desired
selection. The higher the number, the darker the
toast color will be.
6. Press the bread carriage lever down until it locks
into position.
7. When the toasting cycle is completed the toast is
automatically ejected up. To terminate the toasting
cycle before it is completed, simply press the
cancel button.
8. After use, unplug the toaster from electrical outlet.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR TOASTING
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying
the bread; moisture levels differ from one type of
bread to another, which can result in varying toasting
times. Preheating is not necessary before using the
toaster.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower browning
setting than normal.
• For fresh or whole wheat bread, use a higher
setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as
English muffins) will require a higher browning
setting.
• Thick pieces of bread (including bagels) will take
longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer,
since more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur.
• Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove
any loose raisins from the surface of the bread
before placing it into the toaster. This will help
prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or
sticking on the guard wire in the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two
equal halves.
• Single slice toasting: If you are toasting as single
slice of bread, set the variable browning control
lighter than normal. The toaster is designed to
heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By
reducing the toasting time for a single slice it will
not be over toasted.
• Pastries: Exercise caution when toasting pastries.
The filling can become quite hot long before the
surface of the pastry becomes brown.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet
and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe
the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Apply any cleaning agent to the cloth,
and not directly onto the toaster.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and
discard the crumbs. Wipe the crumb tray clean
and place it back. Never operate the toaster
without the crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the
toaster, turn the toaster upside down and shake
gently. Never insert any hard or sharp instrument
into the slots as this could damage the toaster
and cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outsides of the
toaster, use the cord storage on the underside of
the toaster.
6. Warning: any other servicing should be performed
by an authorized service representative.
Note: Please consult the 2 year guarantee card for
conditions.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Bread rack lever does not
stay down.
Bread is toasted unevenly.
Inside elements are dull
compared to outside.
Toast is too brown or too
light.
Reason
There is no power to the
appliance.
Heat has dispersed
unevenly due to one slice
of toast being used.
The appliance is warmer
in the center so the inside
elements are not as
powerful as the outside
elements.
Thickness and type of
bread will determine
moisture content.
Action
Check that the mains
switch is working and in
the “ON” position.
Four slices of toast will
give better results.
This is normal.
Use browning control
to adjust to the required
toasting time.
Pre-caution
Too many appliances on
the same circuit could
overload it.
Do not place any sharp
objects into the toaster
or this will create a
hazard.
Keep the crumb tray
clean to avoid a hazard
and the infestation of
insects.
