Getting to Know Your 2 slice toaster

Product may vary slightly from illustration

Before Using for the First Time

Remove all packaging materials including those that may be inside the toasting slots or toasting lever slot.
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not put the Toaster, cord or plug in water.
Make sure the crumb tray is locked in position on the bottom of the Toaster and the toasting lever is in the UP position.
Unwrap power cord from cord storage area on underside of Toaster and plug into a 120V AC outlet.
Turn the browning control dial to (1), the lightest setting.
Lower the toasting lever until it locks in place. It is recommended to run 2 cycles of toast without bread before the first use.

NOTE: Toaster may emit a thin smoke on the initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the Toaster..

Automatic Centering Guides

Lowering the toasting lever closes the centering guides, and holds the bread or toaster food centrally in the toasting slots.

NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock down unless the Toaster is plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

Toasting Instructions

Before toasting, make sure the crumb tray is locked in position on the bottom of the Toaster and the toasting lever is in the UP position.
Make sure no bread or other objects are inside the toasting slots. Place Toaster on a flat, level, heat resistant surface.
Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
IMPORTANT: Avoid toasting torn bread slices or small pieces of toaster food that may get lodged in toasting slot(s).
Insert bread or toaster food into the toasting slot(s).
Turn the browning control dial to the desired shade (1 – 6). To test toasting times for browning, it is best to use both toasting slots; position the browning control dial between (3) and (4) medium; then adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.
Lower the toasting lever until locked into place. The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting.
When the bread is lowered into position, the CANCEL button’s halo will illuminate, and toasting will begin.
NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock into position unless the Toaster is plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
NOTE: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot.
NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the Toaster; always place bread into the slots.
NOTE: DO NOT change the browning selection during the toasting cycle. Press the halo lighted CANCEL button; then turn the browning control dial to adjust. Lower the toasting lever and toast until the desired toast color is achieved.
At the end of the toasting cycle, bread or toaster food will rise automatically. Use the high lift lever to remove smaller toaster foods or breads such as English muffins.
Remove bread from toasting slot(s). Use care when removing toasted bread as both the toastace and the top of the Toaster will still be hot.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
To interrupt toasting, press the halo lighted CANCEL button.
Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Do not attempt to dislodge food when the Toaster is plugged in.

Defrost Cycle

Your Toaster both DEFROSTS and TOASTS bread in a single cycle.
IMPORTANT: The DEFROST cycle may be used in addition to the BAGEL and GLUTEN-FREE buttons.

Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Insert the frozen bread, bagel, or gluten-free bread in the Toaster.
Turn the browning control dial to the desired shade (1 – 6).
NOTE: When multiple browning buttons have been pressed, (up to 3) it may be necessary to shorten the browning time by setting the browning control dial 2 shades lighter. Check and continue toasting if necessary.
Lower the toasting lever.
Press the DEFROST button. The defrost button’s halo will illuminate.
The toasting lever will rise automatically when the toasting cycle is complete.

Bagel Cycle

NOTE: Use the BAGEL cycle for English muffins, too!

Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Slice bagels or English muffins in half; insert one half in each toasting slot with the cut sides facing the center of the toasting slots.
NOTE: Use either toasting slot when toasting only half a bagel or English muffin. Use slices that fit freely into toasting slots.
Turn the browning control dial to the desired shade (1 – 6).
Lower the toasting lever until it locks into place.
Press the BAGEL button. Both the BAGEL and the CANCEL button’s halo will illuminate, and the BAGEL cycle will begin.
At the end of the BAGEL cycle, the toasting lever, bagel or English muffin will rise automatically, and the Toaster will turn OFF.
Remove bagel or English muffin from the toasting slot(s). Use care as the top of the Toaster will still be hot.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
To interrupt the BAGEL cycle, press the halo lighted CANCEL button.
Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

Gluten Free Cycle

Often denser in structure, gluten-free breads and toaster foods require longer cooking times. The GLUTEN FREE setting automatically alters toasting time to give the same degree of browning achieved with other gluten breads.

NOTE: Use either toasting slot when toasting only 1 piece of gluten-free bread or toaster food. Use slices or foods that fit freely into toasting slots.

Plug the power cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Insert the bagel, English muffin or toaster food into 1 or both toasting slots.
Turn the browning control dial to the desired shade (1 – 6).
Lower the toasting lever until it locks into place. The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting.
Press the GLUTEN-FREE button. Both the GLUTEN-FREE and the CANCEL button’s halo will illuminate, and the GLUTEN-FREE cycle will begin.
At the end of the GLUTEN-FREE cycle, the toasting lever, bread or toaster food will rise automatically, and the Toaster will turn OFF.
Remove toast from the toasting slot(s). Use care as the top of the Toaster will still be hot.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
To interrupt the GLUTEN-FREE cycle, press the halo lighted CANCEL button.
Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

Cancel Button

When the toasting lever is lowered, the CANCEL button’s halo will illuminate, and TOASTING will begin.
To STOP or interrupt any toasting cycle, press the halo lighted CANCEL button. The bread will automatically rise; the Toaster will turn OFF.
Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

Convenience Food Toasting

Many varieties of packaged convenience food are available today, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry). Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend exact browning 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 convenience food packaging.

Toaster Pastry

For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the package does not have instructions, position the browning control dial to medium, between (3) and (4). 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.

CAUTION: Never leave Toaster unattended when toasting pastries.

Non-Frozen Shelf Pastry

Turn the browning control dial to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience foods, it may be necessary to adjust the browning control dial to a higher setting / longer toasting cycle.

Removing Lodged Foods

NOTE: This Toaster is equipped with Anti-Jam feature. If any toast or toaster food gets jammed, the Toaster will shut OFF automatically.

If, after toasting, a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged in any 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.
Pull the crumb tray from the bottom of the Toaster. Wipe the crumb tray with a clean cloth and lock into place.

IMPORTANT POINTS

Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
For best results, clean the crumb tray frequently.
Different breads require different browning settings. Press the alo lighted CANCEL button at any time to check toast color.
When multiple browning buttons have been pressed, (up to 3) it may be necessary to shorten the browning time by setting the browning control dial 2 shades lighter. Check toast color and continue toasting if necessary.
Do not block extra wide toasting slots. Never place any object over the top opening.
Do not toast buttered bread, Texas toast, English muffins, bagels or pita bread. Melted butter will cause fire.
When toasting more than 1 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.
