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.

3. Bread Lifter/Toast Boost – Push down the bread lifter to
start the toaster. The bread lifter may be lifted up to stop toasting during a cycle. To lift, place index finger under lifter and thumb on top edge of the toaster directly above lifter. Lift up firmly. At the end of a toast cycle, lift the bread lifter for Toast Boost, to reach small bread items.
4. Shade Selector – The shade selector ranges from light toast to dark toast. Adjust to desired setting before using.

Parts and Features
1. Extra-Wide Slots
with Bread Guides
5. Programming Buttons Reheat – After the toasting cycle has
started, press the Reheat button. This will cancel the original toasting cycle and only heat the bread for about 30 to 50 seconds. If you press Reheat, the Shade Selector setting does not affect the cycle time.
CAUTION: Never try to reheat any food product that has been spread or iced with margarine, butter, or other breakfast spread, jelly, frosting, or syrup.
Defrost – After the toasting cycle has started, press the Defrost button. This allows additional time for the product to thaw and heat through.
CAUTION: Only use the Defrost cycle on frozen foods that were made to be placed in a toaster.
Bagel – Load the toaster with the cut sides of the bagel
facing out. After the toasting cycle has started, press the Bagel button. In the Bagel program, only the outside elements will energize.
On/Cancel – This light will illuminate when the toaster is on. To cancel or end a cycle, press the On/Cancel button. The cycle should stop and the light should go out.
To combine programs is easy. To toast a frozen bagel:
• Load bagel in toaster with cut sides facing out.
• Choose desired Shade Selector setting.
• Push down the Bread Lifter to start the toasting cycle.
• Press Bagel button, then press Defrost.

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
toasting 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.
How to Toast
1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Place bread in slots. Select toast shade and press down
bread lifter.
3. At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up automatically. Lift up on bread lifter to reach small bread.
NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless the toaster is plugged in.
4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or
push the cancel button.
wWARNING
Fire Hazard Do not operate while unattended. Do not cook, warm, or toast rice cakes, fried foods,
or non-bread items. Heat pastry-filled or frosted items on lightest setting. Do not cover toaster or use near curtains, drapes,
walls, or under cabinets. Close supervision is necessary when used by or near
children. Never cover toaster or toast slots during operation. Always unplug toaster when not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or fire.
