HELPFUL TIPS

NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
Smoking/Burning
During first use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal with most
new appliances. The first time you use the toaster, you should do so without bread. This
will pre-heat the new element and burn off any dust collected during the storage process.
If the machine is burning or smoking during cooking, press
the STOP button to end the toasting cycle.
Smoking may also be caused by excess crumbs stuck inside the machine. To
prevent smoking, make sure to empty and clean the Crumb Tray weekly.
Toasting
THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW TOASTER is designed to use only two pieces of
bread at a time. DO NOT force bread into toasting slots. Heating may cause
large pieces of bread like bagels to swell and get stuck in the toaster.
If a bagel or bread is stuck inside of toaster, let cool for so it
contracts and can be easily removed. ALWAYS unplug toaster before
attempting to dislodge bread or bagels from Toasting Slots.
All pieces of bread are not the same; therefore you will need to adjust
the variable heat controller accordingly. Room temperature bread will
cook more quickly than bread just removed from the refrigerator.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Allow all parts to COOL to the touch.
To prolong the life of your AUTOMATIC WINDOW TOASTER, please follow these
simple instructions for maintenance. Never place the appliance in a dishwasher.
• Make sure the AUTOMATIC WINDOW TOASTER is completely
cooled and unplugged before storing or cleaning.
• Do not try to remove bread if it gets jammed inside the Toasting Slots
without first unplugging the AUTOMATIC WINDOW TOASTER.
• Clean outer surface of the AUTOMATIC WINDOW TOASTER with a soft damp cloth when
it is unplugged and completely cooled. Do not use abrasive cleaning products.
• Once a week when toaster is completely cool, remove the Crumb Tray and empty crumbs
into trash. Wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry thoroughly. Replace crumb tray.
• DO NOT hold the toaster upside down and shake to remove
crumbs. Do not insert metal objects inside the toaster.
• DO NOT use any sharp or pointed articles for cleaning the
inside as this will damage the heating element.
• NEVER put metal objects or your fingers into the toasting slots.
