Preparing To Use Your Toaster for the First Time

If you are using your toaster for the first time, please be sure to:
1. Remove any stickers from the surface of the toaster and wipe the outside of
your toaster with a damp cloth.
2. Insert the removable crumb tray into the crumb tray slot. (Figure A)
3. Make certain that the bread carriage lever is in the uppermost position before
plugging in the toaster's power cord. (Figure B)
4. Select a location for the toaster. The location should be:
• A flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.
• At least three inches away from walls or the back of countertops.
• At least one foot away from any cabinet or shelving that may be
above the toaster.
• Away from flammable materials, such as curtains and wall fabric.
• Away from a gas stove flame or electric element.
5. Plug the power cord into 120/127 volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.
Adjusting the power cord length
Your toaster's cord storage area allows you to adjust the length of the
power cord so that it is the exact length you desire.
To adjust the length of the power cord:
Wrap the power cord around the cord storage posts on the base of the
toaster until the cord is the length you desire. Be certain to read "Power
Cord Instructions" on Page English-1 for safety information. (Figure C)
6. Without inserting any food into the bread slots, push the bread lever all
the way down until it locks. (The carriage will not lock if the toaster
is not plugged into a power source.) (Figure D)
The first toasting process will preheat the new elements and burn off any
dust which may have accumulated during storage or manufacturing. It is
normal for this burn off to create an odor.
Your OSTER ® Toaster is now ready for use.
