Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
NEVER LEAVE TOASTER UNATTENDED!
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the toaster. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
How to Toast
1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Place bread or bagel in slots. If toasting bagels or English
muffins, place in slots with cut sides facing outside wall of
toaster.
3. Depress bread lifter to begin the toasting cycle.
NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless toaster is
plugged in.
4. At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up
automatically.
5. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, push the cancel button or
raise the bread lifter.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on
setting 5. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated
may require setting 7, and if frozen, setting 9.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels,
made locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels
purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. Fresh
bagels made locally may require two or more toasting cycles.
