YOUR TOASTER

Using your Toaster
• Before use remove any stickers and wipe the body of your toaster with a
damp cloth.
• Ensure that before plugging the toaster into the outlet, the bread carriage
lever is in the resting position.
• Plug the cord in 120/127 volt, 60 HZ AC outlet. Position toaster at least 3
inches away from wall or rear of counter.
• Let the first toasting process take place without inserting any bread to pre-
heat the new elements and burn off any dust, which may
have accumulated during storage.
• Select the desired level of darkness by turning the "1-7"
light/dark knob on the front panel of the toaster to higher
numbers for darker toast and to lower numbers for lighter
toast. Your selection should vary based on the moisture
content, thickness of bread, whether fresh or frozen and
your darkness preference.
• Next, place bread in slot and depress bread carriage lever
downwards until it locks. Carriage lever will not stay down
if toaster is not plugged in. The self-adjusting bread guides
will automatically center the bread for even browning.
• After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the
bread will pop up automatically and is ready for removal
from the slots. The bread carriage will return to its original
position and disconnect the elements, ready for the next
toasting.
• To remove toast, press up on the bread carriage lever to lift toast our of the
bread slots.
• To remove jammed toast, unplug toaster and remove bread once toaster
has cooled down. Never insert fingers or metallic utensils into slots.
Do not wrap the cord around the main body of appliance during or after use.
