USING YOUR TOASTER

Before First Use

Before using your toaster, check the
extra-wide slots and remove any packing
or printed material that might have fallen
inside during shipping or handling. Do not
probe inside the toaster with a metal object.

You may see light smoke the rst time you

use the toaster. This is normal. The smoke is
harmless and will soon disappear.

Making Toast

1. Shorten cord, if necessary, by wrapping

cord under the base. The toaster’s feet
are tall enough to allow the cord to exit
from under any side of the toaster.

2. Plug into a grounded outlet.

3. Move the Shade Control to select the

degree of brownness you want. Move
the Shade Control to the right for darker
toast or to the left for lighter. The
indicator lights will display the shade
level, from 1 (light) to 7 (dark).

NOTE: Different types of bread and their
moisture levels may require different
shade settings. For example, dry bread
will brown more rapidly than moist bread
and will require a lighter setting.

4. Insert bread or other food to be toasted

in slot(s).

English

NOTE: For even toasting on 2-slot models,
toast only one bread type and thickness at
a time. If toasting two different types or
thicknesses of bread with 4-slot models with
Dual Independent Controls, be sure to toast
only one bread type in each pair of slots.

5. As soon as bread is placed in either slot

it will automatically begin to lower and
toasting will begin. Some food may be too
light to trigger automatic
toasting. If the food does
not begin to drop after
3 seconds press TOAST/
CANCEL to start the
cycle manually.

6. (Optional) Press desired special toasting

function button within 5 seconds. See the
“Special Toasting Functions” section for
more information.

7. When the toaster is nished, it will

automatically raise the food and a signal
will sound. If food is not removed within
45 seconds, the toaster will enter Keep
Warm mode.

8. To cancel toasting at any time, press

TOAST/CANCEL. The toaster will raise
the toast and turn off.

11

SPECIAL TOASTING FUNCTIONS

Keep Warm

If the food is not removed
within 45 seconds of the end
of a cycle, the toaster will

this cycle is active.

To cancel Keep Warm mode
and remove toast:

Press the TOAST/CANCEL
button once. The toast will
come up and the toaster
will turn off.

If toast is not removed
within 3 minutes, the toast
will come up and the toaster will
automatically turn off.

Toasting Bagels

Your toaster features a special setting for

toasting bagels, crumpets, mufns, buns or

any other round breads that you wish to cut
in half and toast only one side. The heating
elements will adjust to nicely toast the inside
of a cut bagel (or other round bread) without
burning the outside surface.

1. With the Shade Control

set to the desired level
of brownness, press
the BAGEL button.

2. Insert halves of bagel,

or other round breads,
with the cut sides facing in, as shown.
The toaster will automatically lower
the bagel and start toasting.

Toasting Frozen Items

Your toaster features a Frozen mode that
gently defrosts and toasts frozen bread. Use
Frozen for frozen foods only.

For regular bread and similar foods:

1. With the desired

brownness level selected,
press the FROZEN button.

2. Insert frozen bread into

the toaster slots.

3. The toaster will automatically lower

the bread, run a defrosting cycle to
thaw the bread, then toast it to the
desired brownness setting.

For frozen bagels (or other frozen
round breads cut in half):

1. With the desired brownness level

selected, press the BAGEL button
then the FROZEN button.

2. Insert frozen bagel (or other round

bread) into the toaster slots.

3. The toaster will automatically lower,

run a defrosting cycle to thaw, then

toaster will enter Keep Warm mode.

12

SPECIAL TOASTING FUNCTIONS

Toasting Sandwiches

Your toaster features an accessory and a
special setting to toast sandwiches made
with thinly sliced meats and cheese.
The hinged design of the Sandwich Rack

accessory opens at to make inserting and

removing sandwiches easy.

Preparing your sandwich:

1. Lightly butter the outside of the sandwich

bread – do not butter the side that will

face the lling. Buttering the outside of

the bread will slow browning and help

warm the lling.

2. Fill the sandwich with desired ingredients,

but do not overll it! Thinly sliced

ingredients – like ham, turkey, and
cheese – work best.

3. Open the rack by spreading the handles

apart. Then, place an edge of your

sandwich ush with the bottom channel

of the rack, as shown.

NOTE: Do NOT toast sandwiches without
the Sandwich Rack, because cheese or other
food could melt and stick to the interior of
the toaster.

Do NOT store your Sandwich Rack in the
toaster, or place it back in the toaster once
sandwich is toasted and unloaded. This
would start a new toasting cycle and prevent
toaster from working properly.

Toasting your sandwich:

1. Set the Shade Control

to the desired level of
brownness, then press
the SANDWICH button.

2. Insert the Sandwich Rack into the toaster

slot, with your sandwich inside, as shown.
The toaster will automatically lower the
Sandwich Rack and start toasting.

English

4. Press the sandwich rack handles together

to grip the sandwich. Close the clip to
keep grids together.

3. When the sandwich is ready, a signal will

beep 3 times, and the Sandwich button
light will blink.

4. Remove Sandwich Rack and press either

the SANDWICH button or the TOAST/
CANCEL button to return the carriage
to its proper position.

If Sandwich Rack is not removed, a signal
will beep every 30 seconds for 2 minutes
and the Sandwich button light will blink
to remind you to remove it. If Sandwich
Rack is not removed within 2 minutes,
the toaster will automatically turn off.
In any case, the Sandwich Rack must be
removed to operate toaster again.

13

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the toaster
and let it cool
before cleaning.

Grasp the center
of the crumb tray
then slide it out. Shake the crumbs into a
waste container. It is recommended that
the crumb tray be emptied after each use.
Crumb tray is hand-wash only.

IMPORTANT: The tray will be hot
immediately following a toasting cycle.

Wipe toaster with a soft, damp cotton cloth.
Do not use paper towels, abrasive cleansers
or liquid cleaning products. Do not immerse
toaster in water.

NOTE: If grease or oil splatters on the
toaster, wipe splatters away immediately
using a clean, damp cotton cloth.

Return crumb tray to toaster. Press it in
rmly until it clicks into position. Do not
use the toaster without the crumb tray
in proper position.

NOTE: KitchenAid does not recommend
the use of a toaster cover.

Wash the the Sandwich Rack by hand,
avoiding the use of abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads. Dry thoroughly after washing.
You can also wash the Sandwich Rack in the
top rack of your dishwasher.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE: You may see light smoke the rst

time you use the toaster. This is normal. The
smoke is harmless and will soon disappear.

If your toaster should fail to operate,
check the following:

1. If the toaster does not begin to drop

and toast after 3 seconds, it might be
that the food inserted is too light to
trigger automatic toasting. Press TOAST/
CANCEL to start the cycle manually.

2. If the toaster fails to operate and the

Sandwich light blinks, it means that a
heavy item is preventing the toaster from
working properly. Remove the Sandwich
Rack or any other heavy items from the
toaster, then press the “Sandwich” button
or the “Toast/Cancel” button to allow the
carriage to return to its proper position.

3. Check that the toaster is plugged into

a grounded electrical outlet.

4. If the toaster is plugged in, unplug it,

then plug in the toaster again.

5. If the toaster still does not work, check

the household fuse or circuit breaker.

If the problem cannot be corrected, contact
an authorized service center (see the
KitchenAid Warranty and Service sections).
