SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

NOTICE:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

TIPS AND HINTS

Notes on Browning

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in varying toasting times.

• For lighter, airier, or slightly drier bread, use a lower setting than normal.
• For very fresh bread, use the Grain setting.
• For bread with uneven surfaces, similar to English muffins or crumpets, use the English Muffin setting.
• For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle.
• When toasting raisins or other fruit bread, remove any loose raisins, etc., from the surface of the bread before placing it into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice them into two halves.

Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels

Use the Defrost function to defrost, and then toast these items. Simply insert the frozen item, select the desired function, select Defrost, select the desired browning setting (1–7), and then press down the lever to start.
Toaster Pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Start by using the lightest setting. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.
For Best Results

• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered bread in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven thickness.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, unplug the toaster, turn it upside down, and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp instruments into the slots, as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
