USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and
that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the
wall outlet.

Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the car-
riage is in the up position.
2. Set the Browning Control.
Turn rotary switch to the desired position:
Setting Color
1-2 light
3-4 medium
5-6 dark
Note: Use controls and carriage lever on the left to toast items
in slots 1 & 2.
Use controls and carriage lever on the right to toast items
in slots 3 & 4.
Some notes on browning:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread.
Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another
can result in varying toasting times.
• Forslightlydrybread,usealowersettingthanyounormally
would.
• Forveryfreshbreadorwholewheatbread,useahigherset-
ting than normal.
• Breadswithveryunevensurfaces(suchasEnglishmuffins)will
require a higher toast setting.
• Thicklycutpiecesofbread(includingbagels)willtakelonger
to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture
must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur.
Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• Whentoastingraisinorotherfruitbreads,removeanyloose
raisins, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into
the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into
the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot.
• Beforetoastingbagels,sliceeachbagelintotwoequalhalves.
Single Slice Toasting:
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, place the
bread in the slot marked with icon (see diagram A.)
and set the heat selector to a lighter setting than you
normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the
whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering
the heat for a single slice, you won’t overtoast.
Notes on Specialty Uses:
The following breads and pastries should be warmed using the
“Defrost” button:
Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Frozen Bagels
Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the fill-
ing can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry
becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while
toasting or warming.
3. To Begin Toasting.
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To Stop Toasting.
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press
the “Cancel” button.

Defrost Button
The “Defrost” button is designed to first defrost and then toast
the bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.
