SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

NEVER LEAVE TOASTER UNATTENDED!

This toaster is a metal body toaster and becomes hot during use.
To avoid risk of burns, DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. Allow
toaster to cool before touching, lifting, cleaning or storing.

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.

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.

* NOTE: Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex does not recommend

heating toaster pastries in your toaster. Toaster pastries
should be heated in a toaster oven broiler. However, if an
alternative is not available, and you must use the toaster, be
sure to set the toaster to the lowest possible setting, and
never leave the toaster unattended during use.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• 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 toast-

ing one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow
toasting batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermo­stat to reset.

• Thick foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If food

becomes jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off at
the end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let
cool. Use a wooden utensil to remove food.

• 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.

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.
