QuickView™
The QUICKVIEW™ feature allows you to check on the toasting progress
without interrupting the cycle. Simply press the button during toasting
to momentarily lift the bread to observe the shade status. The bread
will automatically lower back down and continue toasting without
interrupting the cycle.
NOTE: The QuickView™ function can be activated a maximum of three
times during a toasting cycle. Operating the QuickView™ function more
than once will affect the toast color.
+30 Secs
The +30 SECS function allows you to extend the toasting time by
30 seconds.
If selected during toasting cycle:
• The +30 Secs LED indicator will flash. Current shade countdown will
be paused. Upon completion of the 30-second cycle, the originally
selected browning shade cycle will resume.
If selected after toasting cycle has completed:
• The +30 Secs LED indicator will light and shade setting will
disappear. Once toasting begins the +30 Secs indicator will flash until
time has elapsed.

TIPS AND HINTS

Notes on Browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in
varying toasting times.
• For lighter, airier, or slightly dry breads, use a lower setting than
normal.
• For very fresh bread, use the Whole Wheat setting.
• For breads with uneven surfaces, similar to English muffins or
crumpets, use the English Muffin setting.
• For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning
setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins,
etc., from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster.
This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or
sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves.
Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels
Use the Defrost function to defrost, and then toast these items.
Simply insert the frozen item, select desired function, select Defrost,
select desired browning setting (1–7) and then press down the bar
to start.
For Best Results
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely
between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create
a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven thickness.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean,
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb
tray in place.
