USE AND CARE

Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and
that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the
wall outlet.
1. Insert Slice(s) of Bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the carriage
is in the up position.
2. Set the Browning Control.
Turn rotary switch to the desired position:
Setting
1-3
4-6
7-9
Note: Use controls and carriage lever on the left to toast items
in slots 1 & 2.
Use controls and carriage lever on the right to toast items
in slots 3 & 4.
Some notes on browning:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread.
Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another
can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally
would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting
than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will
require a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut 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, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into
the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into
the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

Single Slice Toasting:
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to
a lighter setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed
to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the
heat for a single slice, you won't overtoast.
Notes on Specialty Uses:
The following breads and pastries should be warmed using the
"Defrost" button:
Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Frozen Bagels
Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling
can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry
becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while
toasting or warming.
3. To Begin Toasting.
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To Stop Toasting.
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the
"Cancel" button.
Tips:
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely
between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frost-
ings in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven
thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
Defrost Button
The "Defrost" button is designed to first defrost and then toast the
bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.
