IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:

❑ READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
❑ Do not touch hot surfaces. Metal parts can become hot.

Use handles or knobs. All chrome surfaces become
extremely hot.

❑ To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord,

plug or toaster in water or other liquids.

❑ This appliance should not be used by young children or

incapacitated persons. Supervise older children closely.

❑ Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.
❑ Do not insert fingers or metallic utensils into slots when

toaster is plugged in.

❑ Do not operate toaster near flammable materials such as

curtains, wall fabric, etc., to prevent fire.

❑ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

❑ Do not insert utensils or foil-covered or oversized foods in

toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.

❑ Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse cord.
❑ Clean out accumulated crumbs frequently to avoid risk of

fire or toaster malfunction. Unplug when not in use and
before cleaning.

❑ Special note: Do not use foods that will drip coatings or

fillings when heated. Such accumulations inside the
toaster create unsanitary conditions and the possibility of
fire or toaster malfunction.

❑ Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged

cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to nearest Sunbeam Appliance Authorized
Service Center for examination, repair or electrical or

❑ Take care to never let a power cord hang over the edge of

a table or countertop (Where it can be accidentally pulled)
or touch any hot surface.

❑ Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
❑ Never operate any appliance on top of a non-heat-

resistant or flammable surface.

❑ Never leave appliance unattended when in use.
❑ Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas stove flame or

electrical element, in a heated oven or microwave oven.

❑ Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in

this manual. Do not use attachments that are not
recommended by manufacturer; they may cause injury.

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
Extensions cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the 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.

POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION.

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

USING YOUR TOASTER

❑ Before use remove any stickers and wipe the body of your

toaster with a damp cloth.

❑ Ensure that before plugging the toaster into the outlet,

the bread carriage lever is in the uppermost position.

❑ Plug the cord in 120/127 volt, 60 HZ AC outlet. Position

toaster at least 3 inches away from wall or rear of counter.

❑ Let the first toasting process take place without inserting

any bread to preheat the new elements and burn off any
dust, which may have accumulated during storage.

❑ Select the desired level of darkness by turning the “1-5”

light/dark knob on the front panel of the toaster to the
right for darker toast and to the left for lighter toast. Your
selection should vary based on the moisture content,
thickness of bread, whether fresh or frozen and your
darkness preference.

❑ Next, place bread in slot and depress bread carriage lever

downwards until it locks. Carriage lever will not stay down
if toaster is not plugged in. The self-adjusting bread
guides will automatically center the bread for even
browning.

❑ After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the

bread will pop up automatically and is ready for removal
from the slots. The bread carriage will return to its original
position and disconnect the elements, ready for the next
toasting.

❑ To remove toast, press up on the bread carriage lever to

lift toast out of the bread slots.

❑ To remove jammed toast, unplug toaster and remove

bread once toaster has cooled down. Never insert fingers
or metallic utensils into slots.

DO NOT WRAP THE CORD AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF

APPLIANCE DURING OR AFTER USE.
