OPERATION 
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES 
Carefully read the description of the toaster operation on the 
specification sheet. 
DO NOT attempt to perform any maintenance or service, or attempt 
to unjamb a slice of toast unless the toaster is unplugged from 
electrical power. 
DO unplug the toaster from electrical power before cleaning, servicing 
or unjamming. 
DO NOT use sharp objects or metal implements to unjamb a slice of 
toast. 
DO use a plastic spatula inserted along the bread guides, away from 
the elements, to remove toast that is jammed. 
DO NOT lift or carry the toaster by the bread slots. This will damage 
the elements. 
DO carry the toaster by the carry handles. 
OPERATION 
Turn the darkness control knobs to the desired toast color. The knobs 
may be rotated to the light position (fully counter-clockwise for very 
little color) to the dark position (fully clock-wise for dark brown). There 
are an infinite number of settings between these two extremes. Each 
knob controls one pair of bread slots. 
Experiment with your normal bread product and adjust the darkness 
control knobs to the desired toast color. 
Place one to four bread slices in the bread slots, one per slot. The 
wide bread slots will accept other large size bread products, such as 
buns, waffles, English Muffins, Texas-sized toast, etc. When using 
non-standard bread products, be sure to adjust the darkness control 
knob for your desired toast color.
Press down on the slide knobs until they stop. The slide rack should 
move easily, and catch in the down position. Each slide knob controls 
one pair of bread slots (i.e. right or left pair). 
Toast time is approximately two minutes (Model T-4C), two or more 
minutes (Model BT-4C) or three minutes (Model T-4C 15A). These 
times are only approximate and will vary depending on the darkness 
setting. Your own experience with your product is your best guide to 
the best darkness setting. 
The slide rack raises automatically at the end of the timed cycle. Slide 
racks may be manually raised at any time during the timed cycle by 
lifting the slide knob. 
Each successive toasting cycle will require less time as the toaster 
chamber retains more heat. Adjust the darkness knob as required to 
maintain your desired toast color. 
CAUTION: 
Hot Surface 
Exposed surfaces 
can be hot to the touch 
and may cause burns. 
Note: Model BT-4C Bagel 
Toaster toasts only one side 
(cut side) of bagels or buns. 
Place bagels or buns in the 
toaster in right or left pairs 
of bread slots with cut sides 
facing each other.
