POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk ofelectrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attemptto defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable powersupply cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding type 3-wire cord.

NOTICES:

1. Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet  under your toaster to prevent possible damage to the surface
2. During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur  after a few uses.

Learning About Your Toaster

1. Bread slots
2. Toast Lift Lever
3. Frozen function
4. Bagel Function
5. Cancel button
6. Crumb tray (at rear)
7. Browning control

BROWNING CONTROL
The browning control regulates how much the bread is toasted—in other words, the color of the toast. Lower settings producelighter toast and higher settings produce darker toast. When setting the browning control, remember that dry or thin slices of bread will toast quicker and require a lowersetting. Moist or thick slices of bread will  require a higher setting.

CANCEL BUTTON
The toasting process can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.

TOAST LIFT LEVER
The Toast Lift Lever allows the use of the loading handle to help you removethe toast. When toasting has finished, lift the loading handle upwards from its rest position to raise the toast and make it easier to remove.

FROZEN BREAD BUTTON
The Frozen bread button allows you to toast bread straight from the freezer. Insert the bread into your toaster, press the toast lever down and then press the Frozen bread button. Your toaster will extend the toastingtime to allow the bread time to defrost. Watch the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.

To Toast Your Bagel:
Insert the bagel into the bread slots. Press the Toast Lever until it locks. Press the Bagel button. The Bagel lightwill illuminate to indicate your selection. After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically. The Toast Lever will return to the up position and the indicator lightswill turn off. Carefully remove the toasted bagel from the bread slots.

BEFORE FIRST USE

CAUTION!
Never force bread into thetoasting slots. Bread should fit easily into the toasting slots. Never toast slices of bread that have been buttered.Take extra care when toasting items that contain sugar, jam or preserves, as there is a risk of the ingredients leaking into the toaster, causing overheating.Don’t use bent, damaged or broken bread in your toaster as it may cause it to jam.

Carefully remove your toaster from its box. Remove all packaging from inside the toasting slots. Position your toaster on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge. Bread may burn therefore donot use the appliance near or below combustible materials such as curtains. Never use the toaster below wallcupboards or shelves. Position toaster at least 3 inches away from wall or rear of counter. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, 60 Hz ACoutlet.

Connect the plug to a suitable power outlet and make sure that the power cord does not overhang the work surface.When you first use your toaster, there may be a slight odor as the heating elements  warm up for the first time. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern. Toremove the odor, simply operate your toaster for the first time without any bread  in it.

USING YOUR TOASTER

1. Set the level of toasting using the browning control. The higher the number selected, the darker the toast will be.
2. Place the bread into the toasting slots. Only toast single slices of bread in each slot on 2 slice toasters. 4 Slice Long Slot Toasters can accommodateno more than 2 slices of bread in each slot. Press the toast lever down until it latches. The bread will be lowered into the toaster and toasting will begin. The toast lever will not latch if your toaster is not connected to a working outlet.
3. When toasting has finished, the loading handle will rise and the toasted bread can be removed. You can lift the loading handle upwards beyond its rest position to help you remove the toast.
4. If the toast is not done enough it can be toasted again. Turn the browning control to a lower setting and keep a careful eye on the toast to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
5. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing the cancel button.

TOASTING TIPS

• Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread because moisture levels differ from one bread to another, toasting times may vary.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will require a higher setting.
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including bagel) will take longer to toast—sometimes significantly longer. This is because more moisture must beevaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces of bread may require two toasting cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins or fruit from the surface of the bread before putting it into your toaster.This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard wires in the toasting slot.

Cleaning Your Toaster

• After use and before cleaning, unplug wall plug and wait for toaster to cool.
• Wipe the outside of toaster with a damp cloth and dry with another cloth or paper towel. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  CAUTION:
  Do not immerse in water or any liquid.
• To avoid damage to toaster heating elements, do not use any pointed or sharp articles for cleaning the inside of the toaster.
• CAUTION: Empty the crumb tray frequently. Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb tray and could catch fire if not emptied periodically. When the toaster has cooled downcompletely, tap the sides of the toaster lightly to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toaster chamber, remove the crumb tray and empty it. Wipe the tray clean with a dampcloth or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher for cleaning.
• Tap sides again to ensure proper disposal. Return crumb tray back into the toaster before using again. This appliance has no user serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond thatdescribed in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an Authorized Service  Representative only. See Warranty Section.
