BEFORE USE

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Accessory parts may be contained within the packaging material.

Before using, wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Operate the toaster the first time without any food in the toaster slots and with the browning control knob set to 7.

information Note: The toaster must be plugged in and the serving tray open for the toast lever to lock in place. This will eliminate any residual manufacturing oils.

USING YOUR QUICKSERVE™ TOASTER

This toaster is designed to cook hotter and faster than most toasters. We recommend toasting at a low setting and adjusting from there based on your preference.

Place the toaster on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge or flammable materials.
Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC outlet only. Open the serving tray. Note: The toaster will not function unless the serving tray is open.
Place a maximum of two slices of bread or bagel into the bread slot. Be sure to place the bagel into the toaster with the cut side to the front.
Select the desired toast color setting. Note: Toaster pastries, tarts, etc. can ignite if overheated. Toast at the lowest setting with constant attention. This toaster is designed to cook hotter and faster than most toasters.
Press the toast lever down until it locks into place. The "CANCEL" light will glow and the toasting cycle will begin.
Note: The toaster must be plugged in and the serving tray open for the toast lever to lock in place.
If desired, press "BAGEL" and/or "GLUTEN FREE" button(s). "BAGEL" will toast the front side. "GLUTEN FREE" will toast longer, at a lower power, which produces better results for gluten free breads. These settings can be used simultaneously.
When the selected color is reached, the toast rack will open to the bottom of the toaster and the toast will drop out onto serving tray. The "CANCEL" light and toaster will turn off. The toast cycle can be stopped anytime by pressing the "CANCEL" button. If toasting additional food, always allow a few seconds between toasting for toast rack to close.
When toasting is complete, always unplug the cord from the wall outlet. Do not leave a toaster constantly plugged in.

HELPFUL HINTS

A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.
This toaster is designed to cook hotter and faster than most toasters. We recommend toasting at a low setting and adjusting from there based on your preference.
Toasting can be stopped any time by pressing the "CANCEL" button.
Use the bread setting when toasting bread, English muffins, waffles, toaster pastries, etc., to toast on both sides.
Frozen foods may require a darker setting.
While it is not recommended, if you do toast foods with frosting or icing, place the food into the toaster with the frosting side to the front. Toast at the lowest setting with constant attention.
Do not cook, warm, or toast fried foods, rice cakes, or non-bread items in the toaster. Do not heat any foods that have been spread with butter, jelly, frosting, syrup, or other spread.
Do not cut on serving tray, as damage to tray will occur.
Unplug the toaster immediately if fire or smoke is observed.
If food becomes lodged inside the toaster, unplug the cord from the wall outlet and allow the toaster to cool completely. Turn the toaster upside down and shake to dislodge.
Never insert a metal fork or any other metal objects into the toasting slot.
Please note that many variables factor into making toast; moisture content of the bread, thickness, sugars and starches, and grains can all affect the browning of the bread when making toast.
Wheat and whole grain breads tend to require longer toasting times.
When toasting, you may notice variations in toast color from side to side or top to bottom. This is normal, especially when toasting one slice of bread.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
Toast lever will not lock in place.	Toaster must be plugged in and serving tray opened for toaster to start.

Toast is too dark.	This toaster is designed to toast hotter and faster than standard toasters.

CLEANING YOUR QUICKSERVE™ TOASTER

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG

North American models with polarized plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable powersupply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used on short-cord models:

The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
When the product is of the grounded type, the extension cord shall be a grounding type3-wire cord; and
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

information NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your toaster to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
