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 inserting 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.

Notes on Specialty Uses 
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

 

Push the Toast lever down. This lowers the toast.

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 push the 
Cancel lever up to end the cycle.

Tips

•   Never force food into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely 

between the guide wires.

•   Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings 

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 Function

The Defrost function is designed to first defrost and then toast the 
bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.

1.   Insert bread.

 

Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in 
the up position.

2.   Set the Shade Control Dial.

 

Settings 1–2 

 For refrigerated breads and thinner frozen items such as frozen 
pancakes.

 

Settings 3–4

 

 For toaster pastries, frozen waffles and (thin) French toast, and 
refrigerated bagels.

 

Settings 5–6

 

 For thicker frozen items such as bagels, hand-cut bread and 
thick French toast.

3.   Select the Defrost function.
4.  Push the Toast lever down to lower the toast.

To stop cycle 

When the defrost cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If 
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply push the Cancel 
lever up. After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.

Bagel Function

The bagel feature reduces heat on one side of the toasting slot. This 
toasts the cut side of the bagel slightly more than the other side. An 
embossed ( 

  

 ) icon located on top of the toaster, just above the 

control panel, shows you the right way to insert your bagel. (Looking 
straight at the toaster the cut side should always face to the right.)

1.  Insert bread.

 

Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in 
the up position.

2.  Select the Bagel function. 
3.  Push the Toast lever down to toast.
4.  When the Bagel cycle is complete, the toaster will raise  

the bread.

 If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, 

simply push the Cancel lever up.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 

Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

1.   Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.
2.   Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a 

clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing agent 
to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.

3.   To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard 

crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. 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 gently shake. Never insert any hard or 
sharp instruments into the slot, as this could damage the toaster 
and cause a safety hazard.

5.   Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the 

cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service 
representative.
