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 bread carriage is in
the up position.
2. Press down the carriage/start lever.
The toaster will start.
3. Set the touchpad browning (shade) control.
If you do not make a selection, the Total Touch™ Toaster will automatical-
ly set itself to make 4 slices of medium toast (selection number four on the
LED bar).
To make lighter toast, press the "Lighter" button located to the left of the
LED bar. Each time you press this button, the browning selection will get
lighter by one setting.
To make darker toast, press the "Darker" button located to the right of the
LED bar. Each time you press this button, the browning selection will get
darker by one setting.
Your selected setting will remain in memory until you press the "Cancel"
button, change the setting by pushing the "Lighter" or "Darker" button, or
unplug the toaster.

4. Make selection of custom settings.
If desired, select a custom setting(s). It is recommended that you make
your choices after the carriage/start lever has been pushed down. If no
custom settings are selected, the toaster will brown your toast based on
the selection you made with the touchpad browning control, for 4 slices of
normal toast. The custom settings will adjust the time required to achieve
the browning shade you selected in Step 3 above.
If you desire a custom setting, select one or more of the following:
2-Slice - For preparing two slices without overtoasting.
Reduces toasting time.
Note: For preparing one slice without overtoasting, select this button and
choose a lighter browning setting than for 2 or 4 slices.
Bagel - Adds correct amount of time to toast cycle for bagels. Can also
use this button for English muffins and thickly sliced breads.
Defrost - To defrost, then toast. Adds time to the toast cycle for defrosting.

LIGHTER
LIGHT MEDIUM DARK
Reheat - For reheating pre-toasted bread.
When one or more custom settings are chosen, a red LED light will come
on above the selected feature button(s). You can combine as many as
three of these custom settings simultaneously to customize your toasting
cycle. The reheat setting cannot be combined with other custom settings.
5. 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. You
can also lift up the carriage/start lever to stop the cycle. (Note that press-
ing the 'Cancel' button will also reset the browning setting to the
default medium setting (4).)

Important Notes on Use:

The 2-slice custom feature can only be selected after the start lever has
been pushed down to the start position.
The bagel, defrost and reheat custom features can be selected before or
after the start lever has been pushed down.
The browning controls (lighter or darker) can be adjusted before or after
the start lever has been pushed down.

Helpful Browning Notes:

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in denseness and moisture level from one bread to another
can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lighter setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker setting than
normal. Dense, moist breads may also require a darker setting.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require
a darker toast setting. For English muffins, we suggest you use the
'Bagel' button on the custom settings panel.
• 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. We suggest you use the Total
Touch™ 'Bagel' button which will add to the normal toasting time. For
moister breads or very thick pieces, you may need to make the toast
setting darker than you normally would.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads and muffins, remove any loose
fruit, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster.
This will help prevent them from falling into the toaster or sticking on the
guard wires in the slot.
• Two slices of bread require less toasting time than four slices of bread.
To prevent overtoasting, follow the directions under "Set the touchpad
browning control" (page 4) and "2-Slice button" (page 5). This toaster
can be adjusted for two slices of toast by pressing the '2-Slice' button on
the custom settings control panel. To prevent overtoasting of a single
