SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will 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.

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

Bagel
• 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, 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.
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.
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.

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 lift
carriage lever to interrupt.
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.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven
thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
Reheat Function
The reheat feature allows you to reheat bread without browning
or toasting.
1. Insert slice(s) of bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is
in the up position.
2. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.
3. Turn shade dial to reheat setting.
To stop cycle:
When the reheat cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the
bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply lift
carriage lever to interrupt.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with
a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing
agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard
crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster `
without the crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn
the toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any
hard or sharp instruments into the slot, as this could damage
the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
Bagel Function
The bagel feature adds extra time to the toasting cycle to allow for
thicker breads.
1. Insert slice(s) of bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is
in the up position.
2. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.
3. Turn shade dial to bagel setting.
To stop cycle:
When the bagel cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply lift the
carriage lever to interrupt.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use
the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
