IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse cord,
plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance
malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see
warranty page.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Products Group
International may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use.
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, ensure
that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than
that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the extension cord must
be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement,
position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter,
table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or metal utensils must not be inserted in a
toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material,
including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

Before placing any food items in the toaster slots, plug in the appliance, select the
“TOAST” function and run an initial cycle. Make sure the toasting slots are free of
any debris or packing materials. Press the carriage lever down until it locks in
position. This initial toasting cycle will clean residue from the heating elements.
Please note that a small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating
due to the release of manufacturing oils - this is normal. Some minor
expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling - this is
also normal.
CAUTION: Do not immerse any part of the base appliance in water or any other
liquid.

HELPFUL HINTS
Use caution when removing the trays from the toaster, steam will be released and
could cause scalding.
The egg cooker timing is controlled by the amount of water placed in the heating
tray. The more water added, the longer the appliance will cook.
We do not recommend using most non-stick cooking sprays in the poaching tray.
If you do use a non-stick spray, be sure that it is a 100% oil cooking spray with no
flours or binders.
If you have issues with breakage when hard boiling eggs, puncture each egg, after
cleaning, with the egg piercer located on the bottom of the measuring cup, then
place them in the steaming tray, hole side up. This will prevent the eggs from
cracking and possible spillover.
Even pierced, there is still some possibility of egg expanding and leaking out of the
shell. This is normal.
Please note that many variables factor into making toast; moisture content and
temperature of the bread, thickness, sugars and starches, and grains can all affect
the browning of the bread when making toast.
Wheat and whole grain breads tend to require longer toasting times. We
recommend toasting somewhere between the medium and heavy line.
When toasting, you may notice variations in toast color from side to side. This is
normal, especially when toasting one slice of bread.
CLEANING YOUR BREAKFAST STATION™
1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely
before cleaning.
2. Wipe down the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Thoroughly wash the heating tray, steaming tray, poaching trays, warming tray,
and the lid in warm, soapy water.
4. The steaming tray, poaching trays, warming tray and the lid can be washed in the
top rack of a dishwasher.
5. The heating tray may accumulate mineral deposits after use. To remove these
deposits add ½ teaspoon concentrated vinegar and ½ cup water to the heating
tray. With the lid in place, turn on the egg cooker function and allow the solution
to boil for approximately 10 minutes. CAUTION: The water will be hot! After 10
minutes, press the “CANCEL” button, unplug the appliance, and let cool. When
cooled, carefully dump out the remaining water, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
CAUTION: Do not immerse any part of the appliance base (including the heatingtray) in water or any other liquid.
This appliance has no user serviceable parts.
