IMPORTANT SAFE GU A RD S (Con’t.)

■ Use Toaster in an open area with 4-6 inches air space above and

pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

■ Keep crumb tray clean. See instructions for cleaning.

■ CAUTION: Hot Surfaces.

■ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE I NSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: This product is hot during operation and retains heat

for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when
handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before
cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the Toaster while it is
operating or while it is hot.

CAUTION: This appliance generates heat during use. Proper
precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires or
other damage to persons or property.

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the
risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from
local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is
necessary. The cord must also be: (1) marked with an electrical
rating of 125 V. and at least 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the
risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, your Toaster may not operate properly.
It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from
other appliances.

This product is for household use only.

Toasting Instructions

1. Plug cord into any 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. The unit may emit an
odor and/or smoke during first few uses from oils used in
manufacturing. This is normal for a new appliance.

2 . B reads vary in density and moisture content, requiring diff e re n t

settings. Dual, independent toast color control knobs are located at
one end of your To a s t e r. Set toast color control(s) to the color of
toast desired. For first use, set control(s) to “3” or medium setting.
“LIGHT” or numbers “1” and “2” indicate light color setting;
“DARK” or numbers “4” and “5” indicate dark color setting.

3. Toast thin breads on the lighter toast color settings. Stale bread,
thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit
loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they
should be toasted on the lighter settings.

4. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in
bread slots.

5. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar

size, thickness and freshness. Avoid toasting torn slices of bread
and broken pastries, which may get lodged in bread slots.

6. Each toast lever controls two bread slots. Two slices of bread can

be toasted in one set of bread slots without having to use the
second set of bread slots. Four slices of toast can be prepared
simultaneously by depressing both toast levers at the same time.

7. Insert bread or toaster food into bread slots and push down one
or both of the toast levers.

NOTE: Use either bread slot when toasting a single slice or
portion. Use bread slices that fit freely into the slots. The self­adjusting bread guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side
toasting.

8. When toast is done, the toast lever with auto hi-lift will pop up
and the power will shut off automatically.

9. Turn toast color control(s) counter-clockwise past “LIGHT” setting
to cancel the toasting cycle.

Removing Lodged Toast

If a piece of toast becomes lodged in the Toaster, unplug the Toaster
and allow to cool. Press the toasting lever down. Turn the Toaster
upside down, and shake the toast loose.

IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to
remove toast. Doing so may damage the heating element or cause
injury.
