Toasting Instructions
1. Make sure the crumb tray is locked in position on the bottom of the Toaster and the toasting lever is in the
UP position.
2. Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots. Place Toaster on a flat, level, heat
resistant surface.
3. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
4. Position the browning selector knob to desired setting. To test toasting times for browning, it is best to
use both toasting slots; position the browning selector knob between (3) and (4) medium; then adjust
each subsequent toasting to your preference.
5. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
IMPORTANT
: Avoid toasting torn bread slices or small pieces of toaster food that may get lodged in
toasting slot(s).
6. Insert bread or toaster food into the toasting slot(s). Lower the toasting lever until locked into place.
The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting. When the bread is
lowered into position, toasting will begin.
NOTE:
The toasting lever will not lock into position unless the Toaster is plugged into a 120 V AC electrical
outlet.
NOTE
: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot.
NOTE
: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the Toaster; always place bread
into the slots.
NOTE
: DO NOT change the browning selector knob selection during the toasting cycle. First turn the
browning selector knob to CANCEL; then turn the browning selector knob to adjust the browning level.
Lower the toasting lever and toast until the desired toast color is achieved.
7. When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop up automatically.
8. Use the high-lift lever to make it easier to remove smaller toasted items.
9. Remove bread from toasting slot(s). Use care when removing bread as the bread and the top of the
Toaster will still be hot.
IMPORTANT
: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the
heating element or cause injury.
10. To interrupt toasting, turn the browning selector knob to CANCEL.
11. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.
CANCEL Toasting
1. When the toasting lever is lowered, toasting will begin.
2. To CANCEL or interrupt any toasting cycle, turn the browning selector knob to CANCEL. The bread will
automatically rise; the Toaster will turn OFF.
3. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.
Convenience Food Toasting
There are many varieties of packaged convenience food available today, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf
pastry). Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend exact browning selector knob
settings. However, after a little experimentation you will discover the best setting for your needs. You may also
wish to refer to the heating instructions on the convenience food packaging.
Pastry
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the package does not have instructions,
position the browning selector knob to medium, between (3) and (4). Some pastries may require a second
toasting cycle.
NOTE
: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-type frosting or open fillings.
Non-Frozen Shelf Pastry
Turn the browning selector knob to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience foods, it may be necessary to adjust
the browning selector knob to a higher setting and a longer toasting cycle.
Removing Lodged Foods
1. Use the high-lift lever to make it easier to remove smaller toasted items.
2. If, after toasting, a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged in any of the toasting slots,
unplug the Toaster and allow it to cool.
3. Hold the toasting lever down. Turn the Toaster upside down and shake the food loose.
IMPORTANT
: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating
element or cause injury.
