star blade to its down position as the smaller weight wiil be insufficient
to cause the ¯ blade to snap down~. With Tool No, ~, turn set. scr.ew .for
auxiliary the~o~ta~ adjustment (55) to the right against the lip.on thermo-
stat blade (~7). Then carefully balance the smaller weight so that it rests
in a perpendicular posit.ion on the center of blade. Hold weight by means of.
sliding collar on rod,.':~Continu6 to tighten set screw (55) until .the thermo-~ i.
stat blade (~7) acquir~~ just enough tensi6n to force the blade up. with the
snmll weight restingoin the middle. If the weight should rise without the set
screw (55) touching end of main thermostat blade, replace the main th.er-
mostat blade (~7).. This setting may be accurately determined by: sliding the..
collar up and. down the rod. The weight plus the friction., f~Sm the colla..r
slidin~ db'wn should suffice to keep the blade down, but the~.weight minus the
friction f~om collar, sliding u_~ should allow the thermostat to snap up. A

3-N2o After adjusting auxiliary thermostat adjustment Screw (55). as, explained a-
bove,"the Tool No, 2heavier weight (2 ibs) is placed on the rod on top of
the smaller weights. Bothweights are then placed in the center of main

I"~I13-N3. After adjusting thermostate~- make 3 or A slie.es of toast, If dark of light,
turn the adjustment nut (~9A) for spring (~8') in accordance with instructions
on the b6ttom of the casting. If. the set ~crew'(55) has been set correctly
as outlined in 3-N1, the auxiliary thermostat should require no further ad-
justment to produce uniform toast...
First' establish where, repairs are to be made. Check the performance of the
toaster as in .Section lo I~ any or all of the heating elements fail to light,
check the electrical circuib as directed in. Section ~A be:low. For .other de-
partures, from normal operation,, check toast.er in accordance with instructions
given'in Section ~-B to ~-Go

If toasting elements do not heat when handle (l~).. is pulled down (testing
electrical connections): -Plac'e toaster upon its side and open the crumb
plate (53), On the front side of toaster, examine the connec.tions at. the
'-
two terminal studs (.30), which are prote~ted by terminal insulators. (61),~
To check cord and plug assembly (l&), remo.~e ins~ulator.s (61), place one t.ip
..
of test%r set on one term. inal stud and the other tip on one prong of the at-
tachment plug and then the other (any. circuit continuity .test. lamp may
used to make this t.est), ¯ The test lamp sho.uld iight for one of the. ~onnec-
tions. Repeat for the other terminal stud (30) and if lamp fails t~ ~ight
for. either of the terminals, replace cord set. (1£).. The 3 toasting elements,
the signal element 'and the thermostat heater should also be examined ~d
tested for open circuit by placing .the tips of the tester set on the terminals
