USE & CARE
Before first use, remove all packaging from toaster. Check inside toaster slots for packaging and
remove.
Note: Do not place any bread in 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 flat, stable countertop surface away from the edge and at least 3 inches away
from wall or rear of counter.
3.
Unwind power cord and plug power cord into nearby outlet.
4.
Insert slices of bread. Be sure the bread carriage lever is on UP position.
5.
Turn the light/dark selector onto desired position. The higher the number (1-7), the darker the
toast color.
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 stop button.
8.
After using, unplug the toaster from electrical outlet.
TOASTING NOTES
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread; moisture levels differ from one bread to
another, which can result in varying toasting times.
Preheating is not necessary before using toaster. When using the toaster for the first time, do not
place any bread into toaster, slight smoke or gas will come out of the unit. This is a normal situation
•
For slightly dry bread, use a lower light/dark setting than normal.
•
For fresh bread or whole wheat, use a higher setting than normal.
•
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher light/dark 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 from the surface of the bread
before placing 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 light/dark selector 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 electrical outlet and let it 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 cloth, not directly onto the toaster.
3.
To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Never operate the toaster
without the crumb tray in its place.
