BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1.Remove all packaging materials including those that may be inside the toasting slots or toasting lever slots.

2.Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

3.Do not immerse the toaster, cord or plug in water.

4.Ensure that the crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the toaster and the toasting lever is in the up position.

5.Unwrap power cord from cord storage area on underside of Toaster and plug into a 220-240V AC outlet.

6.Turn the browning selector knob to (1), the lightest setting.

7.Lower both of the toasting levers until they lock in place. Operate without bread once or twice to burn off any manufacturing residue. You may notice a small amount of smoke, this is normal and will stop as the heating elements continue to heat.

AUTOMATIC CENTERING GUIDES

1.Lowering either 1 or both of the toasting levers closes the centering guides, and holds the bread or toaster food centrally in the toasting slots.

Note: The toasting lever(s) will not lock down un- less the toaster is plugged into a 220-240V AC electrical outlet.

TOASTING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots. Place toaster on a flat, level and heat resistant surface.

2.Insert the plug of the toaster into a 220 - 240V AC wall socket.

3.Position the browning selector knob to the de- sired setting(s). To test toasting times for brown- ing, it is best to use both toasting slots. Position the browning selector knob between (3) and (4) medium, then adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.

4.Remove all protective wrappings from food be- fore placing into the toasting slot(s).

5.Insert bread or toaster food into the toasting slot(s). Lower the toasting lever until locked into place. The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting. When the bread is lowered into position, toasting will begin.

NOTE: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot.

NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the toaster, always place bread into the slots.

NOTE: DO NOT change the browning selector knob selection during the toasting cycle. First press the CANCEL button, then turn the brown- ing selector knob to adjust the browning level.

Lower the toasting lever and toast until the de- sired toast color is achieved.

6.When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop up automatically.

7.Remove bread from toasting slot(s). Use care when removing bread as the bread and the top of the toaster will still be hot.
