HELPFUL TIPS

TOASTING

THE BREAKFAST TOASTER is designed to use only two pieces of bread at a
time. DO NOT force bread into toasting slots. Heating may cause large pieces of
bread like bagels to swell and get stuck in the toaster. If bagels get stuck inside of
toaster, let them cool for a while so that they will contract and be easily removed.

All pieces of bread are not the same; therefore you will need to adjust
the variable heat controller accordingly. Room temperature bread will
cook more quickly than bread just removed from the refrigerator.

COOKING MEAT

When using the Griddle to cook meat, it is preferable that you use thinner
cuts of meat. The thicker the cut of meat or patty that you use, the longer
it will take to cook. Thinner cuts of meat and patties cook more quickly.

BURNING/SMOKING

If the machine is burning or smoking during cooking, press the CANCEL
button on the sides of the machine to end the cooking cycles.

Smoking may also be caused by excess crumbs or grease
stuck inside the machine. To prevent smoking, make sure
to empty and clean the Drip Tray after each use.

NONSTICK SURFACE

It is normal for appliances with nonstick coating to emit a
slight odor and smoke during the first few uses. The odor
and smoking should dissappate with normal usage.

Remember to always coat surface with vegetable oil
before each use to protect the nonstick finish.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Allow all parts to COOL
to the touch, especially the Nonstick Griddle Plate and Drip Tray.

To prolong the life of your BREAKFAST TOASTER, please follow these simple
instructions for maintenance. Never place the appliance in a dishwasher.

Make sure the BREAKFAST TOASTER is completely •
cooled and unplugged before storing or cleaning.

Do not try to remove bread if it gets jammed inside the toaster •
slots without first unplugging the BREAKFAST TOASTER.

Clean outer surface of the BREAKFAST TOASTER with a soft •
damp cloth when it is unplugged and completely cooled.

Remove Nonstick Griddle Plate and Drip Tray.•
Use soapy water to clean the Nonstick Griddle Plate and Drip Tray.•
