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.

Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying 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 mufns) will require a higher
toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, some
times signicantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the
surface of the bread before putting into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit
pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to 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.
• Frozen waffles, pancakes, french toast and frozen bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function.
Select Defrost, and then your preferred browning shade. For example, when
toasting a frozen bagel, select Defrost, the browning level, and then Bagel.
• Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the lling can become quite hot, long before
the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries
unattended while toasting or warming.
Tips
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should t freely between the guide
wires.
• Do not place buttered breads or pastries with llings or frostings in the toaster, as
this could create a re hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.

Bagel button
The bagel feature reduces heat on one side of the toasting slot.
This toasts the cut side of the bagel slightly more than the other side.
An embossed icon located on the top of the toaster, just above the
control panel, shows you the right way to insert your bagel. (The cut
side should always face toward the center of the pair of toasting slots.)

Fail-Safe
• Should the unit sense that it is over-heating it is designed to activate a
“Fail-Safe” to ensure it can cool down quickly and be able to return to a safe,
usable state.
• When the Fail-Safe is activated all the LCD and LED lights will come on and
the unit will sound (3) one-second audible tones. The LCD and LED lights will
remain on until the unit is unplugged and re-plugged into the outlet.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
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.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage
cleats on the underside of the toaster.
6. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
