OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage
appliance on the same circuit.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a
longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the toaster. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Tips and Troubleshooting
• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, disconnect
from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn toaster upside down
and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil that could damage
heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in
bread color from side to side.

How to Toast
1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Place bread in slots. Select toast shade and press down
bread lifter.
NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless toaster is
plugged in.
3. At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up
automatically.
4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or
push the cancel button.
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the medium setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels, made
locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels purchased
in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel setting only
energizes the outside wall heating elements. A second, shorter
toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness. Fresh
bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one
cycle on the darkest setting, if a darker shade is desired,
adjust shade selector to a lighter setting and toast for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English
muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English
muffins split with a fork.
• Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after toasting
one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow toasting
batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermostat to reset.
Tips and Troubleshooting (cont.)
Cleaning
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should be
cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug toaster and let cool.
2. Slide open crumb tray, discard crumbs,
and wipe tray with clean cloth. Replace
crumb tray.
3. Wipe outside of toaster with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that
may scratch the surface of the toaster.
