Operating Instructions

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Carefully unpack your Toaster and remove all packaging

materials.

2. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packag-

ing, simply wipe the Toaster exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

3. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

4. Do not put the Toaster, cord or plug in water.

5. Plug power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

6. Before toasting for the first time, operate both pairs of Toasting

Slots without bread and with both of the Browning Selector

Knobs set at Dark (#7), the maximum setting. This will help to

burn off any dust or manufacturing oils, etc. which may have

accumulated on the elements. The new elements may give off

an unpleasant smell but this is normal for a new Toaster. Make

sure the room is well ventilated while doing this.

Selecting Toast Color

Both Browning Selector Knobs are located on the front of your

Toaster. Adjust one or both of the Knobs to the desired toast color:

Light (#1) is for warming and very light toasting; Dark (#7) for

dark toasting (see Figure 2). The numbers are a guide to help

you select your desired color

(the higher the number, the

darker the toast).

The first time you toast, it

is best to use both pairs of

Toasting Slots; position each

Browning Selector Knob to

the middle setting (#4);

then adjust each subsequent

toasting to your preference. Figure 2

6. 4-Slice Toaster Use and Care Guide

Cancel Button

There are 2 CANCEL Buttons, one for each pair of Slots. If you

wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is complete, press the

corresponding CANCEL Button. The elements will be turned off,

and the toast or toaster food will pop up.

Bread Toasting Instructions

1. Place your Toaster on a flat, level surface.

2. Plug power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The unit may

emit an odor and/or smoke during the first few uses from oils

used in manufacturing. This is normal for a new Toaster.

3. Set one or both of the Browning Selector Knobs to the desired

toast color. Light (#1) is for warming and very light toasting;

Dark (#7) is for dark toasting (see Figure 2).

4. Remove all protective wrappings from bread or toaster food

before placing in Toasting Slots.

5. Avoid toasting torn slices of bread and broken pastries, which

may get lodged in Toasting Slots.

6. Place bread or toaster food into one or both pairs of Toasting

Slots and push down the corresponding Toasting Lever(s)

to lower bread and begin toasting. Centering Guides will

automatically center bread for even toasting. When toasting

a single slice, the bread may be placed in any Toasting Slot,

but may toast slightly darker on the inside of either pair of

Toasting Slots than on the outside.

Note: The Toasting Lever(s) will not lock down unless the

Toaster is plugged into an electrical outlet.

7. When the selected color is reached, the Toasting Lever(s) will

pop up. The Toaster will shut off automatically.

8. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

TMR_TMT4CAN_IB_11-8-06 8/11/06 4:28 PM Page 6

Note: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the

opening of the Toaster, but always place it into the Toasting

Slot(s).

Note: Do not operate the Toaster unless both Crumb Trays are

in position and correctly fitted.

9. To interrupt toasting, press either one or both of the

corresponding CANCEL Buttons.

Bagel and English Muffin

Toasting Instructions

1. Place your Toaster on a flat, level surface.

2. Plug power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

3. Set one or both of the Browning Selector Knobs to the color

desired. For the first use, set the Browning Selector Knob(s)

to the middle setting (#4).

4. Slice bagel or English muffin in half; place one half in each

Toasting Slot with the cut sides facing the center of each pair

of Toasting Slots.

Note: Use either Toasting Slot when toasting only half a bagel

or English muffin. Use slices that fit freely into Toasting Slots.

The Automatic Centering Guides hold food upright for

uniform side-to-side toasting.

5. Push down to lower the corresponding Toasting Lever(s).

6. As soon as Toasting Lever is lowered and locked into position,

press the corresponding BAGEL Button(s). This changes the

Toaster to gently heat the outside of each bagel while toasting,

to the desired color, the cut side of the bagel. The BAGEL

setting works great for English muffins, too!

7. When the bagel or muffin is done, the Toasting Lever(s) will

pop up. The Toaster will shut off automatically.

8. To interrupt toasting, press the CANCEL Button(s).

Convenience Foods Toasting

Extra wide Toasting Slots accommodate many varieties of

packaged convenience food available today, both frozen and

non-frozen (shelf pastry).

Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to

recommend exact Browning Selector settings. However, after a

little experimentation you will discover the best setting for your

needs. You may also wish to refer to the heating instructions on

food packaging.

Pastry

For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry

package. If the package does not have instructions, position one

or both of the Browning Selector Knobs mid-way between Light

and Dark settings (#4). Some pastries may require a second

toasting cycle.

Note: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with

runny-type frosting or open fillings.

Non-Frozen Shelf Pastry

Move one or both of the Browning Selector Knobs to a lighter

setting. For thicker convenience foods, it may be necessary to

turn the Browning Selector Knob(s) clockwise for a longer

toasting cycle.

Note: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with

runny-type frosting or open fillings.

TMR_TMT4CAN_IB_11-8-06 8/11/06 4:28 PM Page 8

Removing Lodged Toast or

Toaster Food

If a piece of toast or toaster food becomes lodged in the Toaster,

unplug the Toaster and allow to cool. Turn the Toaster upside

down and shake the toast/toaster food loose.

IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to

remove toast because that may damage the heating elements

or cause injury.

Automatic Centering Guides

Lowering either one or both of the Toasting Levers closes the

Centering Guides, and holds the bread or toaster food centrally in

the Toasting Slots.

Note: The Toasting Lever(s) will not lock down unless the Toaster

is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Important Points

◆ Remove all protective wrappings from bread or toaster food

before placing in Toasting Slots.

◆ For best results, clean Crumb Trays frequently.

◆ Different breads require different color settings. Press either

one or both of the CANCEL Buttons at any time to check

toast color.

◆ Do not block Toasting Slots. Do not place any object over the

Toasting Slots.

◆ Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted

butter will cause fire.

◆ Bread which has been toasted but not buttered may be

reheated. Use a lighter setting and watch it carefully.
