Preparing To Use Your Toaster for the First Time
If you are using your toaster for the first time, please be sure to:
•Remove any stickers from the surface of the toaster and wipe the outside of your toaster with a damp cloth.
•Insert the Removable Crumb Tray into the crumb tray slot.
•Make certain that the Bread Carriage Lever is in the uppermost position before plugging in the toaster’s power cord.
•Select a location for the toaster. The location should be:
•A flat,
•At least three inches away from walls or the back of countertops.
•At least one foot away from any cabinet or shelving that may be above the toaster.
•Away from flammable materials, such as curtains and wall fabric.
•Away from a gas stove flame or electric element.
•Plug the Power Cord into 120 Volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.
•Plug in toaster without inserting any food into the bread slots, push the Bread Lever all the way down until it locks. (The carriage will not lock if the toaster is not plugged into a power source.) The first toasting process will preheat the new elements and burn off any dust which may have accumulated during storage or manufacturing. It is normal for this burn off to create an odor.
Using Your Toaster
Inserting the food into the bread slots and toasting:
•Most types of breads and pastries can be toasted, such as bagels, tea cakes, thickly sliced breads, English muffins, etc. Slices should not, however, be so thick as to jam the bread slots.
•When toasting two slices at a time, the slices should be of equal size and freshness to ensure even toasting.
•When toasting two slices of bread, place one slice in the center of each bread slot.
•When toasting one slice of bread, place the slice in the center of either bread slot.
