SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. The extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. An extension cord should be connected to the appliance first, before it is plugged into the outlet.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Toaster Operation

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not operate toaster unattended. Unplug after use.

NOTE: Bread lifter will not latch down unless toaster is plugged in.

HOW TO USE TOASTER

1.Select toasting shade. Use shade selector to manage toast browning. Turn the knob left or right to the desired number: the lower the number, the lighter the toast; the higher the number, the darker the toast. Many households find a preferred shade that works for most family members most of the time, but the shade can also be customized at each toasting if desired.

2.Select toasting setting by pressing the desired button. See page 7 for setting button descriptions. Once selected, the setting will remain active for 3 minutes after the cycle is completed and then will revert back to the normal toast setting.

3.Push bread lifter down.

4.After the toast cycle ends, remove toasted item.

HOW TO USE KEEP WARM SETTING

1.Place bread in the toaster, press bread lifter down, and select Keep Warm.

2.When activated, Keep Warm will hold the bread in the toaster for up to

3 minutes, allowing the toast cycle to gently keep the toast warm.

3.At the end of the toast cycle, the toaster will chime 3 times and the Keep Warm setting indicator light will begin flashing to indicate it is active.

4.At 1-minute increments, the toaster will chime once as a courtesy notification.

5.After 3 minutes, the toaster will “pop” up the toast and sound 3 chimes to indicate the cycle is complete.

NOTE: Users may select any combination of buttons to use with the Keep Warm setting. For example, Keep Warm can be used in combination with Bagel and/or Frozen. To stop Keep Warm at any time and retrieve the toast, select Cancel.

TOASTING TIPS

The Wolf Gourmet Toaster makes it possible to perfectly toast everything from thick slices of artisan bread to bagels, English muffins, and gluten-free or thinly sliced homemade bread.

•Toasting is affected by bread temperature. Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 3–5 setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.

•Moisture content also affects toasting. Fresh bagels, made locally, have a higher moisture content than bagels purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness.

TOASTING CHART

•Because of their irregular surface, English muffins may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on the highest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust the shade selector to a lower setting and toast for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.

•When toasting only one slice, the bread may be placed in any slot of the toaster. When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to side.

•When toasting one or two slices, best results are achieved by using either the left two slots or the right two slots of the toaster at the same time.

FOOD	SHADE SETTING	OPTIONAL SETTING
Regular bread (light to dark)	1–7

English muffins	5–7

Bagels	5–7	Bagel

Frozen bread or buns	3–7	Frozen

Frozen waffles	4–7	Frozen

Toaster pastries (such as Pop-Tarts®)

Pop-Tarts® is a registered trademark of the Kellogg Co.

Do not heat in toaster. Use toaster oven broiler. If you must use toaster, ALWAYS set to lowest shade setting. NEVER heat cracked, broken, or warped pastries and NEVER leave unattended.

Care Recommendations

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts, causing a risk of electric shock.

The toaster should be cleaned regularly for best performance and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire hazard.

BEFORE CLEANING

Unplug toaster and let cool.

CLEANING

Crumb Trays Wipe with a clean lint free cloth.

Food Slots Wipe top of food slots with a clean lint free cloth.

Toaster Body Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a clean lint free cloth.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

•Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners.

•To remove food that becomes lodged in the food slots, disconnect toaster from outlet and allow it to cool. Turn toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other utensils that could damage the heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.

Troubleshooting

Bread won’t pop up.

•Is the KEEP WARM indicator light illuminated? If so, bread will stay in the toaster for 3 minutes before it pops up. Press CANCEL to stop the cycle.

•If food is jammed, press bread lifter all the way done to the bottom. Then, press CANCEL or manually raise bread lifter.

Setting indicator lights won’t turn off.

•Toaster will retain settings for 3 minutes to accommodate back-to-back toasting cycles.

•To turn off, press setting button again.

One side of the bread is darker than the other.

•This toaster is optimized to evenly toast 4 slices. When just toasting one slice, variations in toasting may be evident.

Bagels are toasting on only one side.

•Bagel setting is designed to toast only the cut side of the bread.

•When loading the bagel, make sure to use either the two slots on the left or the two slots on the right and place the bagel in the toaster with cut sides facing each other.

Frozen food items get too brown.

•Some foods, i.e., Belgian waffles, have a higher sugar content and brown more easily. The Frozen setting lengthens the toasting time to allow for defrosting. Try toasting without using the Frozen setting.

•Bread products can easily dry out in the freezer. If frozen items are in an open box or have been frozen for a long period of time, try toasting without the Frozen setting or choose a lighter shade setting.

Tall homemade or extra-long artisan breads don’t fit in slots.

• Bread may need to be trimmed to fit slots.
