* NOTE:
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex does not recommend
heating toaster pastries in your toaster. Toaster pastries
should be heated in a toaster oven broiler. However, if an
alternative is not available, and you must use the toaster, be
sure to set the toaster to the lowest possible setting, and
never leave the toaster unattended during use.
Crumb Tray
• Thick foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If the
food is not released, the toaster will automatically shut off at
the end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let
cool. Use a wooden utensil to remove food.
• Setting 6 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker
shade is desired, watch closely and toast for two cycles.
When toasting only one slice, if a toaster slot indicates
“ONE SLICE,” make sure the bread is placed in that slot of
the toaster. When toasting a single slice you may notice
variations in bread color from side to side.
Tips and Troubleshooting
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread, room
temperature or frozen; the moisture content, fresh or several
days old; and the size, thick or thin.
• If you try to toast two batches of toast, one right after
another, the Bread Lifter may not lock down immediately.
If you hear a buzzing sound when the Bread Lifter is pushed
down, this indicates that the thermostat has not reset. Wait
a few seconds and try again.
