USE and Care

Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.

1.Insert Slice(s) of Bread.

Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the carriage is in the up position.

2.Set the Browning Control.

Turn rotary switch to the desired position:

Setting	Color
1-2	light
3-4	medium
5-6	dark

Some notes on browning:

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.

•For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.

•For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.

•Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher toast setting.

•Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.

•When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot.

•Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

Single Slice Toasting:

If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a lighter setting than you normally would. This is because the toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single slice, you won't overtoast.

Notes on Specialty Uses:

The following breads and pastries should be warmed using the "Defrost" button:

Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Frozen Bagels

Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.

3.To Begin Toasting.

Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.

4.To Stop Toasting.

When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the "Cancel" button.

Tips:

•Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires.

•Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.

•Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.

•After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.

Defrost Button

The "Defrost" button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.
