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 neces-

sary, an approved extension cord may be used. The

electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to

or greater than the rating of the toaster. 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

■Plug toaster into electrical outlet.

■Place bread or bagel in slots. Select toast shade,

press down bread lifter, and push Bagel button AFTER

pressing bread lifter down. If toasting bagels or English

muffins, place in slots with cut sides facing inside wall

of toaster.

■At the end of toasting cycle, bread will pop up auto-

matically. NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down

unless the toaster is plugged in.

■To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or

push the Cancel button (on some models).

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

■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 refrigerat-

ed may require setting 4-5, and if frozen, setting 5.

■The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh

bagels, made locally, will have a higher moisture con-

tent than bagels purchased in the bread section of the

supermarket. The bagel setting extends toasting time to

allow most bagels to toast in one cycle. Fresh bagels

made locally may require two toasting cycles.

■Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they

may require more than one toasting cycle. After toast-

ing 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 overbrowning.

English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than

English muffins split with a fork.

■To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, dis-

connect 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.

CLEANING

NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should

be cleaned weekly.

1. Unplug toaster and let cool.

2. Slide out crumb tray, discard crumbs and wipe tray

with clean cloth. Replace crumb tray.

3. Wipe outside of toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use

abrasive cleansers that may scratch the surface of the

toaster.

■When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations

in bread color from side to side.

■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.
