ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Volts: 120 Volts AC only. Hertz: 60 Hz NOTE: Your toaster has a 3-prong grounded

plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

this plug will t in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not t in the outlet, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify the plug

in any way.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power

supply cord is too short, have a qualied

electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Parts and Features

Controls

Keep Warm

If the food is not removed within 45 seconds of the end of a cycle, the toaster will automatically lower the food and activate a “Keep Warm” cycle using low heat for up to 3 minutes. The KEEP WARM indicator will light while this cycle is active. You can cancel this cycle at any time by pressing TOAST/ CANCEL.

Shade Control & Countdown Timer

Precisely sets the desired brownness level. Indicator lights show the setting at a glance. During toasting, lights on the shade setting bar will blink to indicate time left in the toasting cycle.

Bagel

Your toaster features a special setting for toasting bagels, ensuring optimal heat and time for the best results. The heating elements will adjust to nicely toast the inside of a cut bagel without burning the bagel’s outside surface.

Shade Indicator Lights and CountdownTimer

Shade Control

Frozen

Your toaster features a Frozen mode for gently defrosting frozen bread before toasting. Use Frozen for frozen foods only.

A Little Longer

If you have a preferred brownness setting but would like to toast something “a little longer”, you can do so at the touch of a button, without changing your favorite setting.

Toast/Cancel

This is an automatic toaster. As soon as bread is placed in either slot it will begin to lower and toasting will begin using the selected settings. 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. Press again to cancel a toasting cycle already in process, or to end a Keep Warm cycle.

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.

Using Your Toaster

Making Toast

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 Light to Dark.

4. Insert bread or other food to be toasted

in slot(s).

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.

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