USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray and the two inner 
glass panels are in place and that there is nothing in the toaster slot. 
Plug power cord into the wall outlet.
NOTE: If the inner glass panels are not properly in place, the 
unit will not function.
 1.  Insert slice(s) of bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the  
carriage is in the up position.
 2.  Set the browning control.
Slide nger to desired shade:
   Setting  Color 
   1–2   light 
   3–4   medium 
   5–6   dark
 3.  To begin toasting
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
 4.  To stop toasting
When the toasting cycle is nished, the toast will be raised. If you wish 
to stop the cycle before it is nished, simply touch the Cancel icon.
  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 mufns) will 
require a higher toast setting.
  •  Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes 
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 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.
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and 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 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.
Single Slice Function
The Single Slice Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side to side. 
 1.  Insert slice of bread.
 2. Set browning control.
 3. Touch the Single Slice icon. Red LED indicates feature is active.
 4. Press the carriage control level until it locks into position.
To Stop Cycle
 When the Single Slice cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the 
  bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is nished, simply  
 touch the cancel icon to interrupt.
 Bagel function
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 (

toaster shows you the right way to insert your bagel.  
(The cut side should always face away from the center  
of the pair of toasting slots.)

 2. Set browning control.
 3. Touch the Bagel icon. Red LED indicates feature is activated.
