2. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, sim-
ply wipe the Toaster exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SELECTING TOAST COLOR
The Color Selector Knob is located on the front of
your Toaster. Simply turn the Knob to the desired
toast color. The first time you toast, it is best to
position the Knob at the middle of the range; then
adjust each subsequent toasting to your
preference.
Cancel Feature: Turn Toast Color Control Knob counter-clockwise to the
CANCEL position to interrupt toasting at anytime.
TOASTING BREAD
1. Place your Toaster on a flat, level surface.
2. Plug power cord into a 120V AC outlet. The unit may emit an odor
and/or smoke during the first few uses from oils used in manufacturing.
This is normal for a new appliance.
. Adjust the Color Selector Knob to the desired lightness or darkness. Turn
3
Knob to the left for LIGHT toast or to the right for DARK toast. For the
first use, set the Toast Color Control mid-way between Light and Dark
settings.
4. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in Bread
slots. (Avoid toasting torn slices of bread and broken pastries, which
may get lodged in Bread slots.)
5. Place bread or toaster food into Bread Slot and depress the toasting
lever. Centering guides will automatically center for even toasting. When
toasting a single slice, the bread or toaster food may be placed in either
Bread Slot, but may toast slightly darker on the inside than on the outside.
6. Toast will automatically pop up when the selected color is reached.
7. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.
NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of
the Toaster, but always place it into the Bread Slot.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
BAGEL AND ENGLISH MUFFIN TOASTING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug cord into any 120 V 60Hz outlet. The unit may emit an odor
and/or smoke during the first few uses from oils used in manufacturing.
This is normal for a new appliance.
2. Set Color Control to the color desired. For the first use, set the Toast
Color Control mid-way between Light and Dark settings.
3. Slice bagel or English muffin in half; place one half in each bread slot
with the cut sides facing the center of the toaster. Push down on the
toast lever.
NOTE: Use any slot when toasting only half a bagel or English muffin. Use
slices that fit freely into bread slots. The Self Adjusting Bread Slots hold food
upright for uniform side-to-side toasting.
4. When the bagel or muffin is done, the Toast Lever will pop up. The
power will shut off automatically.
5. To interrupt toasting, turn Toast Color Control counter-clockwise to the
Cancel Position.
CONVENIENCE FOODS TOASTING
Today there are many varieties of packaged convenience food available,
both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry) that can be toasted in your
toaster.
Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend
exact Toast Color Control Settings, however, after a little experimentation
you will discover the best setting for your needs. You may also wish to refer
to the heating instructions on food packaging.
PASTRY
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the
package does not have instructions, position the Color Selector Control
Knob in the middle. Some pastries may require a second toasting cycle.
NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-type
frosting or open fillings.
NON-FROZEN SHELF PASTRY
Move the Toast Color Control to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience
foods, it may be necessary to adjust the Toast Color Control clockwise for a
longer toasting cycle.
7
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
FROZEN FOODS
Move the Toast Color Control to a darker color setting. Due to variation in
size and density, frozen items will require different settings. Moving the
Toast Color Control clockwise will provide a longer toasting cycle.
Thawing frozen foods before toasting will help ensure that the inside of the
food is heated and will prevent the outside from burning. Again, experimentation is the best way to accommodate individual tastes and food
choices.
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,
because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
AUTOMATIC CENTERING BREAD GUIDES
Lowering the Toasting Lever closes the Bread Guides, holding the bread
centrally in the toasting slots.
IMPORTANT POINTS
1. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in Toasting
Slots.
2. For best results, clean Crumb Tray frequently.
3. Different breads require different color settings. Turn the Toast Color
Control knob counter-clockwise to the CANCEL position at any time to
check toast color.
4. Do not block top openings. Do not place any object over the top
openings.
5. Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted butter will
cause fire.
6. Bread, which has been toasted but not buttered, may be reheated. Use
a lighter setting and watch it carefully.
7. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size,
thickness and freshness.
8. Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as teacakes and
fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they
should be toasted on the lighter setting.

9. Never immerse Toaster in water.
10. Never use a fork or sharp utensils to remove toast, because that may
damage the heating element or cause injury.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

repair technician if the product requires servicing.
CARE AND CLEANING

clean, damp cloth. Always dry the Tray thoroughly before securing in
place. To replace the Tray, lower the Tray and squeeze the metal tab to
secure in place.
Exterior: Wipe surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners, as they may scratch the surface.

a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or still plugged in. Never
wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on the
