USE & CARE
Before first use, remove all packaging from toaster. Check inside the toaster slots for packaging and remove.
Note: Do not place any bread in the toaster during the first toasting to allow the new elements to preheat and burn off any dust that may have accumulated during assembly.
1.Make sure the crumb tray is in place and the bread carriage lever is on the UP position.
2.Set up toaster on a flat, stable countertop surface away form the edge and at least 3 inches away from wall or rear of counter.
3.Unwind the power cord and plug the power cord into a nearby outlet.
4.Insert the desired slices of bread. Be sure the bread carriage lever is on UP position.
5.Press the variable browning control to desired selection. The higher the number, the darker the toast color will be.
6.Press the bread carriage lever down until it locks into position.
7.When the toasting cycle is completed the toast is automatically ejected up. To terminate the toasting cycle before it is completed, simply press the cancel button.
8.After use, unplug the toaster from electrical outlet.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR TOASTING
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread; moisture levels differ from one type of bread to another, which can result in varying toasting times. Preheating is not necessary before using the toaster.
•For slightly dry bread, use a lower browning setting than normal.
•For fresh or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
•Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher browning setting.
•Thick 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 from the surface of the bread before placing it into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wire in the slot.
•Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
•Single slice toasting: If you are toasting as single slice of bread, set the variable browning control lighter than normal. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By reducing the toasting time for a single slice it will not be over toasted.
•Pastries: Exercise caution when toasting pastries. The filling can become quite hot long before the surface of the pastry becomes brown.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1.Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2.Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleaning agent to the cloth, and not directly onto the toaster.
3.To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe the crumb tray clean and place it back. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
4.To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and shake gently. Never insert any hard or sharp instrument into the slots as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
5.Never wrap the cord around the outsides of the toaster, use the cord storage on the underside of the toaster.
6.Warning: any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Note: Please consult the 2 year guarantee card for conditions.
