OPERATION

WARM-UP

During warm-up, both displays flash while showing the last-used MENU temperature setpoint.

A MENU cycle cannot be started while in warm-up mode.

When setpoint temperature is reached, the display stops flashing and the audible alert beeps 3 times.

SEASONING THE PLATENS

The platens must be seasoned before attempting to toast product, in order to provide a hard, non-porous, non-stick surface.

With the POWER SWITCH ON, press MENU with highest time (typically Menu 3). When the display stops flashing, brush a liberal coat of vegetable oil onto exposed surfaces of upper and lower platens. Lower the upper platens.

At the end of the timed cycle, or when the oil begins to smoke, turn the POWER SWITCH OFF. Wipe the platen surfaces with a clean dry cloth.

Repeat three times. Your toaster now seasoned and ready to use.

LOAD PRODUCT

Load product onto lower platen.

Lower upper platen slowly. Platen will level based on thickness of product.

TIMER OPERATION

Press any MENU key to start the timer countdown. Readout will display time remaining. The LED for the selected MENU key will glow, and the display colon will flash while the timer is active.

When the display reaches “_0:00”, the audible alert beeps and the display flashes. The unit will “beep” three times, then display the current menu setpoint.

Left and right MENU keys operate independently of each other, and can be in operation at the same time. The flashing display will indicate which side has timed out. Each side will “beep” three times at the end of the timed cycle, then display the current menu setpoint.

Raise upper platen slowly until it is in the full up position. Unload product from the lower platen.

CAUTION:

BURN HAZARD

Exposed portions of toaster are hot. Use care when working around the platens. Use insulated handles to raise and lower platens.

IMPORTANT:

This appliance is designed for finish toasting only. Specifically, this appliance is NOT to be used as a grill or meat cooking device. It is not advisable to attempt to cook or thaw frozen foods on this appliance. DO NOT place ice on the platen surface. The temperature drop will disable the timer.

NOTE: Timers can be halted by pressing the MENU key at any time during the timed cycle.

To change temperatures and times, see Programming Instructions, page 8.
