When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the following:

■ READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

■ To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug, or the appliance

in water or other liquid.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ 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, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical
or mechanical adjustment.

■ The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards.

■ Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let the cord hang over the edge

of table or counter, as it could be pulled off.

■ Do not use outdoors.

■ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

■ Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.

■ Oversized foods, metal foil packages or utensils must not be inserted in this

appliance, as they may create a fire or electrical hazard.

■ A fire may occur if this toaster is covered or touching flammable material, including
curtains, draperies, walls, etc. when in operation.

■ Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

■ Toaster lever(s) must be in the “up” position before attaching or disconnecting the

plug from wall outlet.

■ Failure to clean crumb tray may result in a fire hazard.

NOTE: TOASTER MUST BE PLUGGED IN FOR TOASTER LEVERS TO FUNCTION.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the
outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC CORD

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care;
however, its marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the toaster. The extension cord should not drape over the counter or tabletop,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced. Please return it to our Service Department or to an authorized service
representative.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not
try to repair it yourself. Refer it to qualified personnel if servicing is needed.

TO CLEAN: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOASTER AND ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE
CLEANING. Gently shake the toaster so crumbs fall on the crumb tray. Open the crumb
tray.

TO OPEN CRUMB TRAY: The crumb tray is located on the bottom of the toaster. To open
it, place toaster over a napkin or paper towel and tilt toaster slightly, just enough to pop
open crumb tray. DO NOT tilt toaster at too sharp an angle, or crumbs will fall back inside
it. Grasp knob on crumb tray and unlatch, holding toaster with open crumb tray over
napkin or towel, and shaking gently so crumbs fall out. Clean with a small brush, then
wipe with a slightly damp sponge and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. After cleaning,
close and relatch crumb tray by sliding knob upward slightly until latch is secured.

NOTE: NEVER IMMERSE TOASTER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. NEVER USE A
METAL IMPLEMENT TO DISLODGE CRUMBS.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT COUNTERTOP FROM BEING DAMAGED, THE TOASTER MUST

BE OPERATED WITH THE CRUMB TRAY IN PLACE, SECURELY CLOSED AND CLEANED OF
EXCESS FOOD. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOASTER WHEN NOT USING.

EXTERIOR: Wipe surface with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they
may scratch the surface.

TO STORE: Unplug the toaster and store in its box or in a clean, dry place. Do not put
stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.

CARE AND CLEANING

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into any AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other type of outlet.

IMPORTANT: Before using, operate the toaster without bread in order to burn off
residues on the heating elements. When doing this, we suggest that you set the shade
selectors at a medium setting.

HOW TO USE

The toaster lever, shade selector and toasting wells on the right side of the toaster work
independently from the toaster lever, shade selector and toasting wells on the left side.
However, both sides may be used simultaneously to toast or heat a variety of foods. For
example the 2 wells on the left side of the toaster may be used for toasting bread to the
desired shade, while in the right 2 wells pastries may be heating simultaneously. It's like
having two toasters in one!

Adjust the shade selector(s) to the desired setting. Exact settings are difficult to
recommend due to personal preference; experiment to suit individual taste. Thick foods
and those containing fillings will require a longer toasting time. Turn selector(s) toward
maximum (6) setting to increase toasting time. Some frozen pastries and toaster foods
may require two heating cycles for proper results.

Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in toasting wells. (Avoid
toasting torn slices of bread and broken pastries, which may get lodged in toasting
wells.) Place bread or toaster food into toasting wells and depress the lever(s).

SELF-ADJUSTING BREAD GUIDES: The self-adjusting bread guides automatically center
all thicknesses of breads, bagels and pastries.

When toast or toaster food is ready, it will pop up automatically, and the toaster will
switch off.
