Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

16. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the

appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

17. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

18. Before unplugging toaster, make sure bread lifter is in “up”

position.

19. Do not use outdoors.

20. Do not use toaster for other than intended use.

21. This product is for household use only.

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 appliance. 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high­wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

SHADE SETTING OPTIONAL SETTING

Medium

Do not heat in toaster. Use Toaster Oven broiler. If
you must use toaster, ALWAYS set to lowest shade
setting. NEVER heat cracked, broken or warped
pastries and NEVER leave unattended.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room­temperature 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 inside 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.

• When toasting only one slice, the bread may be placed in any
slot of the toaster. When toasting a single slice, you may notice
variations in bread color from side to side.
