USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray and the two inner glass panels
are in place and that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the
wall outlet.
NOTE: If the inner glass panels are not properly in place, the LEDs will flash and
the unit will not function.
1. Insert slice(s) of bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the
carriage is in the up position.

When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop the
cycle before it is finished, simply touch the Cancel icon.
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 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.
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function.
Select Defrost, and then your preferred browning shade. For example, when
toasting a frozen bagel, select Defrost, the browning level, and then Bagel.
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.
Tips
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the
guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads 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.
Single Slice Function
The Single Slice Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side to side.
1. Insert slice of bread.
2. Set browning control.
3. Touch the Single Slice icon. Red LED indicates feature is active.
4. Press the carriage control level until it locks into position.
To Stop Cycle
When the Single Slice cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to
stop the cycle before it is finished, simply touch the cancel icon to interrupt.
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 the top of the toaster shows you
the right way to insert your bagel. (The cut side should always face
away from the center of the pair of toasting slots.)
1. Insert halved bagels.
2. Set browning control.
3. Touch the Bagel icon. Red LED indicates feature is activated.
4. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.
