to prevent the risk of burns, fires, or other injury to persons or  
damage to property.  
1. A person who has not read and understood all operating and  
safety instructions is not qualified to operate this appliance. All  
users of this appliance must read and understand this Instruction  
Guide before operating or cleaning this appliance.  
2. If this appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in  
water, unplug it from the wall outlet immediately. Do not reach  
into the water!  
3. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and  
on all sides for air circulation. Do not operate this appliance while  
it is touching or near curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels  
or other flammable materials.  
4. To reduce the risk of fire, do not leave this appliance unattended  
during use.  
5. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately

it where it may tip over during use. Dropping the Toaster could  
cause it to malfunction.  
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Never attempt to dislodge  
food inside the Toaster while the Toaster is plugged in. Doing so  
could cause an electrical shock hazard or a risk of fire.  
CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat

handling hot materials and allow metal parts to cool before  
cleaning. Do not place anything on top of the Toaster while it is  
operating or while it is hot.

DO NOT toast torn slices of bread.  
DO NOT place buttered bread or wrapped food into the Toaster.  
DO NOT toast small-size breads, mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.  
Polarized Plug  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the  
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit  
into 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 modify the plug in any way.  
Short Cord Instructions  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from  
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Do not use an extension cord with this product.  
Plasticizer Warning  
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the  
countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC  
coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of  
the countertop or tabletop.  
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent  
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.  
Electric Power  
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your  
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a  
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Before Using For The First Time  
1. Remove all packaging materials including those which may be  
inside the Toasting Slots or Toasting Lever slot.  
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use  
abrasive cleaners.  
3. Do not put the Toaster, cord or plug in water.  
4. Be sure the Crumb Tray is pushed all the way into the Toaster and  
the Toasting Lever is in the UP position.  
5. Unwrap power cord from Cord Storage Area on underside of  
Toaster and plug into a 120V AC outlet.  
6. Turn the Toast Color Control to the lightest setting.  
7. Lower the Toasting Lever until it locks in place. Operate without  
bread once or twice to burn off any manufacturing residue. You  
may notice a slight amount of smoke; this is normal and will stop  
as the heating elements continue to heat.  
Operating Instructions  
1. Be sure no bread or other objects are inside the Toasting Slot.  
Place Toaster on a flat, level, heat resistant surface and plug the  
power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.  
2. Position the Toast Color Control to desired setting. The first time  
you toast, it is best to use both Toasting Slots; position the Toast  
Color Control to Medium (mid-way between Light and Dark); then  
adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.  
3 Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into  
the Toasting Slots. Avoid toasting torn bread slices that may get  
lodged in Toasting Slot.  
4. Insert the bread into the Toasting Slots. Lower the Toasting Lever  
until it locks into place. When the bread is lowered into position,  
it will automatically begin to toast.  
NOTE: The Toasting Lever will not lock into position unless the  
Toaster is plugged in!  
NOTE: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in  
either Toasting Slot.  
NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening  
of the Toaster, but always place it into the Slots.  
NOTE: DO NOT change the Toast Color Control selection during the  
toasting cycle. First press the CANCEL Button; then turn the Toast  
Color Control to adjust the browning level. Replace bread and  
toast until the desired toast color is achieved.  
5. When the toast reaches the selected browning level, it will pop  
up automatically.

Operating Instructions (continued)  
6. Remove bread from Toasting Slots. Use care when removing bread  
as the bread and Toaster will still be hot.  
7. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.  
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove  
toast, because that may damage the heating element or  
cause injury.  
CANCEL Button  
To stop or interrupt any Toasting cycle, press the CANCEL Button. The  
bread will automatically rise and the Toaster will turn off.  
Convenience Food 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 Toast Color Control 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 the Toast Color  
Control to Medium (mid-way between Light and Dark). 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 the Toast Color Control to a lighter setting. For thicker  
convenience foods, it may be necessary to turn the Toast Color Control  
clockwise for a longer toasting cycle.

REHEAT Button / Reheating Toast  
This Toaster has a special setting for reheating toast, which overrides  
the Toast Color Control.  
To reheat toast which has cooled, place it in one of the toasting slots,  
lower the Toasting Lever, then press the REHEAT Button. The toast will  
be given a short burst of heat before popping up.  
NOTE: Only reheat plain, unbuttered toast.  
FROZEN Button / Frozen Bread  
Leave the Toast Color Control at its normal setting, place the frozen  
bread into the toasting slots, lower the Toasting Lever, then press the  
FROZEN Button.  
The toasting time will be altered automatically to give the same  
degree of browning you get with unfrozen bread.  
Removing Lodged Foods  
If a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged in either  
of the Toasting Slots, unplug the Toaster and allow it to cool. Hold the  
Toasting Lever down. Turn the Toaster upside down and shake the food  
loose.  
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove  
toast, because that may damage the heating element or  
cause injury.

Important Points  
• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in the  
Toasting Slot.  
• For best results, clean the Crumb Tray frequently.  
• Different breads require different color settings. Raise Toasting  
Lever manually or press the CANCEL Button at any time to check  
toast color.  
• Do not block top opening. Do not place any object over the  
top opening.  
• Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted butter  
will cause fire.  
• 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, cord or plug in water or other liquid.  
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast,  
because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
