Convenience Foods Toasting
■Today there are many varieties of packaged convenience food
available, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry), that can be
toasted in your Toaster.
■Do not toast toaster pastries with runny fillings or frosting.
■Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in
bread slots.
■Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to
recommend exact toast color control settings, however, after a
little experimentation you will discover the best setting for your
needs. You may also wish to refer to the heating instructions on
food packaging.
■Some convenience foods may require a second toasting cycle.
Non-Frozen Shelf Pastry
■Move toast color control to the Pop Tarts®
setting.
■For thicker convenience foods, it may be
necessary to set control to “4” or “5” or
“DARK” for a longer toasting cycle.
■Some pastries may require a second toasting cycle.
■Do not toast toaster pastries with runny fillings or frosting.
Frozen Foods
■Move the toast color control to a darker color setting. Due to
variations in size and density, frozen items will require different
settings. Moving the control clockwise to the “4” or “5” or “DARK”
will provide a longer toasting cycle.
■Thawing frozen foods before toasting will help ensure that the
inside of the food is heated and will prevent the outside from
burning. Again, experimentation is the best way to accommodate
individual tastes and food choices.
■Some frozen foods may require a second toasting cycle.

Toasting Instructions
1. Plug cord into any 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. The unit may emit an
odor and/or smoke during first few uses from oils used in
manufacturing. This is normal for a new appliance.
2 . B reads vary in density and moisture content, requiring diff e re n t
settings. Dual, independent toast color control knobs are located at
one end of your To a s t e r. Set toast color control(s) to the color of
toast desired. For first use, set control(s) to “3” or medium setting.
“LIGHT” or numbers “1” and “2” indicate light color setting;
“DARK” or numbers “4” and “5” indicate dark color setting.
3. Toast thin breads on the lighter toast color settings. Stale bread,
thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit
loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they
should be toasted on the lighter settings.
4. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in
bread slots.
5. When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar
size, thickness and freshness. Avoid toasting torn slices of bread
and broken pastries, which may get lodged in bread slots.
6. Each toast lever controls two bread slots. Two slices of bread can
be toasted in one set of bread slots without having to use the
second set of bread slots. Four slices of toast can be prepared
simultaneously by depressing both toast levers at the same time.
7. Insert bread or toaster food into bread slots and push down one
or both of the toast levers.
NOTE: Use either bread slot when toasting a single slice or
portion. Use bread slices that fit freely into the slots. The self-
adjusting bread guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side
toasting.
8. When toast is done, the toast lever with auto hi-lift will pop up
and the power will shut off automatically.
9. Turn toast color control(s) counter-clockwise past “LIGHT” setting
to cancel the toasting cycle.

Removing Lodged Toast

If a piece of toast becomes lodged in the Toaster, unplug the Toaster
and allow to cool. Press the toasting lever down. Turn the Toaster
upside down, and shake the toast loose.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to
remove toast. Doing so may damage the heating element or cause
injury.
