Cleaning & Care
This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Do NOT try to repair it yourself.
If your appliance is damaged or does not operate, please call customer service to
repair or replace it.
PRECAUTIONS:
• Always unplug unit and allow to cool before cleaning.
• NEVER IMMERSE TOASTER IN WATER.
1. Clean the exterior surface and serving tray* by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Do
NOT use an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this could damage the finish.
2. Turn toaster upside down over a trash can/sink and shake out loose crumbs.
*The serving tray can be removed and washed in hot, soapy water. Be sure to dry
thoroughly before replacing serving tray in toaster.
• To remove serving tray: with the tray in the open position, push in the lower
right corner and pull tray forward.
• To replace serving tray: insert the pin on the left side into opening. Slide opening
on right side over pin in toaster and push in gently.
Clean toaster on a regular basis; do NOT allow bread crumbs to accumulate.
Your Toast ‘N Serve is designed to heat faster than conventional toasters. Therefore,
it is recommended that you start at a lower browning level than you normally would
use and adjust as needed.
1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Open serving tray.
NOTE: The toaster will only operate when the serving tray is open.
3. Place a maximum of two slices of bread or both halves of a bagel into toaster.
• Place bagel in toaster with cut side to the front.
4. Set browning control knob to desired setting.
5. If toasting a bagel, or other food item for which you only want one side toasted,
press the bagel selection button.
WARNING: Toaster pastries and tarts can ignite if overheated. Use the lowest
browning setting and closely supervise the toaster.
6. Press the toast lever down until it locks into place. The power light will illuminate.
• Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.
7. When toasting is complete, the internal rack will open and the food will slide
down into the serving tray.
• If toasting additional foods, allow a few seconds for the internal rack to close
before putting new foods into toaster.
8. When finished using the toaster, unplug cord from electrical outlet.
DANGER: Do NOT attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged in.
If food is lodged in toaster:
1. Unplug toaster from electrical outlet.
2. Wait for toaster to cool before touching.
3. Turn toaster upside down and shake to dislodge.
• Wheat and whole grain breads tend to need longer toasting time which can be
achieved by setting a slightly darker browning level.
• Toasting frozen foods usually requires a darker browning level.
• Factors such as grain type, thickness of food item or moisture, sugar and
starch content can all affect how the food will toast. When in doubt, start on a
low browning level and work to a darker setting as needed.
