USE AND CARE

Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place
and that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord
into the wall outlet.
1. Insert Slice(s) of Bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the
carriage is in the up position.
2. Set the Browning Control.
Turn rotary switch to the desired position:
Setting
1-2
3-4
5-6
Note: Use controls and carriage lever on the left to toast
items in slots 1 & 2.
Use controls and carriage lever on the right to toast
items in slots 3 & 4.
Some notes on browning:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread.
Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to
another can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you
normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher
setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English
muffins) will require a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer
to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture
must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can
occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.

• 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 slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal
halves. Single Slice Toasting:
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, place the
bread in the slot marked with icon (see diagram A.)
and set the heat selector to a lighter setting than you
normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the
whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering
the heat for a single slice, you won't overtoast.
Notes on Specialty Uses:
The following breads and pastries should be warmed using
the "Defrost" button:
Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Frozen Bagels
Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries;
the filling can become quite hot, long before the surface of
the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries
unattended while toasting or warming.
3. To Begin Toasting.
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To Stop Toasting.
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be
raised. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished,
simply press the "Cancel" button.
Tips:
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit
freely between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or
frostings in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
