OPERATING YOUR TOASTER
Before the First Use
1.
Place the toaster on a clean, dry, sturdy surface that is clear from any
potentially flammable materials.
2.
Plug the power cord into a suitable 110V/120V AC electrical outlet.
Your Calphalon 2 or 4 Slot Toaster features cool-touch plastic on the sides, front
and back; however, the chrome plate on the top of the toaster is made from metal
and will be hot during and after a toasting cycle. To prevent burns or personal
injury, please do not touch this chrome plate during or after a toasting cycle.
Always exercise caution when removing toasted breads from the toaster.
Begin Toasting
Step 1: LOAD
Place one slice of bread at a time in each toasting slot. For best results, use a similar
type and thickness of bread in a single toasting cycle. If toasting large items such as
bagels, cut them in half and place half in each slot. Position the cut sides facing the
center of the toaster.
Step 2: SELECT SHADE
Turn the shade control knob to choose the desired level of
browning. Refer to the
Suggested Toaster Settings
on
page 6
.
Step 3: LOWER LEVER
Press the lever down until it locks into place. The toaster
cycle will begin once the lever is engaged.
Step 4: CHOOSE MODE
If toasting BREAD, the toaster is ready for operation. Move to
Step 5
.
Note:
When a mode is selected, the LED next to the selected button will illuminate.
Press the “Bagel” button for sliced bagels. When selecting the bagel mode,
only the cut sides of the bagel are toasted, without overbrowning the
exterior. Cut sides must face toward the center of the toaster.
Press the “Defrost” button for frozen breads or pastries. When selecting
the defrost mode the toaster begins by thawing the frozen item and then
automatically toasting it to the desired level of browning.
Press the “Reheat” button if you’ve already toasted something and want to
quickly reheat it for serving.
