West Bend Studio Toaster instruction manual Cleaning Your Toaster

1.Place toaster on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge or flammable materials. Plug cord into 120 volt AC outlet only.

2.Place up to two slices of bread, bagels, English muffins, pastry slices (1 piece in each slot), etc., into bread slots. Select toast color setting. The darkness control is identified by small dots on the extreme left (lightest color), then increasing in size to the largest dot on the far right (darkest color).

Toast will pop up and toaster will turn off when the selected color is reached. The toast cycle can be stopped any time by pressing the cancel button. Note: Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

CLEANING YOUR TOASTER

Note: Failure to clean crumb tray regularly may result in fire hazard. As a safeguard, be sure to re-insert the crumb tray to prevent crumbs from falling onto countertop to avoid any other potential fire risks.
