I Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be  
inserted in a toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric  
shock.  
I Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad  
and touch electrical parts resulting in risk of electrical shock.  
I A fire may occur if the toaster is covered or touching flammable  
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, overhead cabinets,  
paper or plastic products, cloth towels, and the like, when in  
operation.  
I Do not operate the toaster in an enclosed space, such as an  
appliance cabinet, caddy, garage or other storage area.  
I Do not cook, warm, or toast rice cakes, fried foods, non-bread  
items or toaster pastries. Toaster pastries should be heated in a  
toaster oven broiler. Do not heat any food product that has

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION  
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high  
wattage appliance on the same circuit.  
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to  
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a  
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved exten-  
sion cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension  
cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the toast-  
er. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it  
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can  
be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

HOW TO TOAST  
I Plug the toaster into an electrical outlet.  
I Place the bread or bagel in slots, select the toast  
shade and press down the Bread Lifter. If toasting a  
bagel, press the bagel button AFTER pressing the  
Bread Lifter down. If toasting bagels or English muffins,  
place in the slots with the cut sides facing the inside  
wall of the toaster.  
I At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up  
automatically. NOTE: The Bread Lifter will not latch  
down unless the toaster is plugged in.  
I To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up the Bread  
Lifter or push the Cancel button (on some models).  
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
I Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread.  
Room temperature bread may toast to a medium color  
on 3. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated  
may require setting 4-5, and if frozen, setting 5.  
I The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh  
bagels, made locally, will have a higher moisture  
content than bagels purchased in the bread section of  
the supermarket. Fresh bagels made locally may require  
two toasting cycles.  
I Because of the irregular surface of English muffins,  
they may require more than one toasting cycle. After  
toasting for one cycle on setting 4-5, if a darker shade is  
desired, adjust Shade Selector to setting 1-2 and toast  
for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrown-  
ing. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly  
than English muffins split with a fork.  
I To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots,  
disconnect from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn  
toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or  
other utensil that could damage heating element  
or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
I When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations  
in bread color from side to side.  
I Dark is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker  
shade is desired, reset at 3, watch closely and toast  
for a second cycle.  
CLEANING  
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the Crumb Tray should  
be cleaned weekly.  
1.Unplug the toaster and let cool.  
2.Slide out the Crumb Tray, discard crumbs and wipe  
the tray with clean cloth. Replace the Crumb Tray.  
3.Wipe outside of the toaster with a damp cloth. Do not  
use abrasive cleansers that may scratch the surface of  
the toaster.
