HOW TO USE

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into any AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other type of outlet.
IMPORTANT: Before using, operate the toaster without bread in order to burn off
residues on the heating elements. When doing this, we suggest that you set the shade
selectors at a medium setting.
HOW TO USE
The toaster lever, shade selector and toasting wells on the right side of the toaster work
independently from the toaster lever, shade selector and toasting wells on the left side.
However, both sides may be used simultaneously to toast or heat a variety of foods. For
example the 2 wells on the left side of the toaster may be used for toasting bread to the
desired shade, while in the right 2 wells pastries may be heating simultaneously. It's like
having two toasters in one!
Adjust the shade selector(s) to the desired setting. Exact settings are difficult to
recommend due to personal preference; experiment to suit individual taste. Thick foods
and those containing fillings will require a longer toasting time. Turn selector(s) toward
maximum (6) setting to increase toasting time. Some frozen pastries and toaster foods
may require two heating cycles for proper results.
Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in toasting wells. (Avoid
toasting torn slices of bread and broken pastries, which may get lodged in toasting
wells.) Place bread or toaster food into toasting wells and depress the lever(s).
SELF-ADJUSTING BREAD GUIDES: The self-adjusting bread guides automatically center
all thicknesses of breads, bagels and pastries.
When toast or toaster food is ready, it will pop up automatically, and the toaster will
switch off.

CARE AND CLEANING

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not
try to repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if servicing is needed.
TO CLEAN: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOASTER AND ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE
CLEANING. Gently shake the toaster so crumbs fall on the crumb tray. Open the crumb
tray.
TO OPEN CRUMB TRAY: The crumb tray is located on the bottom of the toaster. To open
it, place toaster over a napkin or paper towel and tilt toaster slightly, just enough to pop
open crumb tray. DO NOT tilt toaster at too sharp an angle, or crumbs will fall back inside
it. Grasp knob on crumb tray and unlatch, holding toaster with open crumb tray over
napkin or towel, and shaking gently so crumbs fall out. Clean with a small brush, then
wipe with a slightly damp sponge and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. After cleaning,
close and relatch crumb tray by sliding knob upward slightly until latch is secured.
NOTE: NEVER IMMERSE TOASTER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. NEVER USE A
METAL IMPLEMENT TO DISLODGE CRUMBS.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT COUNTERTOP FROM BEING DAMAGED, THE TOASTER MUST
BE OPERATED WITH THE CRUMB TRAY IN PLACE, SECURELY CLOSED AND CLEANED OF
EXCESS FOOD. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOASTER WHEN NOT USING.
EXTERIOR: Wipe surface with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they
may scratch the surface.
TO STORE: Unplug the toaster and store in its box or in a clean, dry place. Do not put
stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.
