wWARNING

Fire Hazard

■Do not operate the toaster while unattended.

■Do not use with food that has been spread with butter, jelly,

frosting, etc.

■Do not use with rice cakes, fried foods, frozen prepared foods

or non-bread items.

■Do not use with toaster pastries. Always cook toaster pastries in

a toaster oven broiler.

■Do not cover the toaster or use near curtains, walls, cabinets,

paper or plastic products, cloth towels, etc.

■Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.

■Always unplug the toaster when not in use.

■Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Shock Hazard

■Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.

■This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that

reduces the risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way

into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If

the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have

an electrician replace the outlet.

■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.

■Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad

and touch electrical parts resulting in risk of electrical shock.

■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.

■Do not operate the toaster in an enclosed space, such as an

appliance cabinet, caddy, garage or other storage area.

■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

been spread or iced with margarine, butter, jelly, frosting, syrup,

or other spread. Follow the Toasting Guide.

■Failure to clean the Crumb Tray may result in a fire hazard.

■Do not place the toaster on or near a hot gas or electric burner,

or in a heated oven.

■Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

■The use of accessory attachments not recommended by

Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.

■Do not let the cord hang over edge of table or counter, or

touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

■Before unplugging the toaster, make sure the Bread Lifter is in the

“up” position.

■Do not use outdoors.

■Do not use the toaster for other than intended use.

■This product is for household use only.

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

■Plug the toaster into an electrical outlet.

■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.

■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.

■To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up the 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 refrigerated

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

content than bagels purchased in the bread section of

the supermarket. 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

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.

■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.

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.

■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.
