WARNING
NOTE: For proper toasting of one-sided bakery products (bagels,
NEVER INSERT YOUR HANDS INTO THE TOASTING
CHAMBER TO CLEAR A JAMꢀ SERIOUS INJURY MAY
RESULTꢀ
etc/), we recommend the following:
•
•
•
Turn the Top temperature adjustment knob to the desired
setting to toast the cut side of the product/
CAUTION
Turn the Bottom temperature adjustment knob to a lower
setting, or to the “OFF” position, as desired/
NEVER use a plastic object to clear a jamꢀ If the toaster is not
completely cool, damage to the toaster may resultꢀ

When clearing a jam, use care to avoid damaging the heating ele-
If the product is loaded cut-side down, reverse the Top and Bottom
temperature knob settings provided above/ Note that if the product
is loaded cut-side down, the heat of the conveyor belt may cause
a slight streaking effect on the cut side of the bakery product/
mentsꢀ
1/ Switch the ON/OFF/STBY knob to the OFF (“O”) position/

the toaster at the circuit breaker/fused disconnect/
6/ After toasting, remove the product from the return tray/
CAUTION - HOT SURFACES
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THE JAM UNTIL THE
TOASTER HAS COOLED THOROUGHLYꢀ
7/ During inactive periods, switch the Product Selection knob to the
“STBY” position/ This reduces the power to the heating elements
to save power during idle periods and extends the life of the
toaster’s components/ Switching the knob back to the “ON” position
will return the toaster to operating temperature within 5 minutes/
4/ Carefully clear the jam using a long object as a probe/ This
object should preferably be made of wood, which is less likely
to damage the heating elements/
