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  
5.  
 
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.

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.

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.  
9.  
 
Important Points (Cont.)  
When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of  
similar size, thickness and freshness.  
Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea  
cakes and fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary  
bread, so they should be toasted on the lighter settings.  
Never immerse Toaster in water.  
Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast or  
toaster foods because this may damage the heating elements  
or cause injury.  
User Maintenance Instructions  
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user  
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing  
requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance  
repair technician.  
Cleaning Instructions  
CAUTION: Do not immerse in water or other liquid.  
1. Unplug toaster and allow to cool.  
2. Wipe outside with soft, damp cloth. Polish with soft, dry cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch the stainless  
steel surface.  
3. The Crumb Trays are located at the bottom of the Toaster. For ease  
in cleaning, grasp the Crumb Tray Handle and pull all the way out.  
Brush crumbs from each Tray and, if necessary, wipe with a clean,  
damp cloth. Always dry each Tray thoroughly before replacing.  
When replacing either Tray, be sure to push firmly so that it is fully  
inserted in the bottom of the Toaster.

To Store  
Unplug unit, allow to cool, and clean before storing. Store in its  
box in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or still  
plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Do not  
put any stress on the cord where it enters the unit, as this could  
cause the cord to fray and break.
