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.

After you insert the food into the bread slots:

• Press the Bread Carriage Lever down until it locks.

The Auto-Adjusting Bread Guides will automatically center the food for even browning.

• After pressing the bread carriage lever down, press toast, bagel or pastry button to select your food type (select models include bagel and pastry). The light will illuminate to indicate your selection.

Note: Toast is the default setting if no food or function select buttons are chosen.

• Your toaster can defrost your frozen food and then toast it by using the frozen feature (select models only).

• Press the Frozen button if the food is frozen.

• Select the desired darkness setting by turning the Lighter/Darker knob.

• Selecting the darkness setting will set the timer and automatically display

the remaining toast time once the carriage lever is pushed down into place. The number of minutes remaining will flash until one minute is left in the toast cycle. At this time, the display will change to two digits and countdown the number of seconds remaining. For example:

	LED DISPLAY SHOWS
3	– 3:59 remaining	“4” will flash
2	– 2:59 remaining	“3” will flash
1	– 1:59 remaining	“2” will flash
< 1 minute remaining		60 – 0 seconds countdown

• After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically. The Bread Carriage Lever will return to its original position and the indicator lights will turn off.

• Carefully remove the toasted food from the bread slots. Press up on the bread carriage lever to lift food out of the bread slots. It is a convenient and safe way of retrieving the smallest of toasted items.

WARNING: Never insert your fingers or metallic utensils into the bread slots
