CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a
clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing agent
to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the
crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the
toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or
sharp instruments into the slot, as this could damage the toaster
and cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the
cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
6. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that
there is nothing in the toaster slots. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.

Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying 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settingthan
normal.
• Breadswithveryunevensurfaces(suchasEnglishmufns)will
require a higher toast setting.
• Thicklycutpiecesofbread(includingbagels)willtakelongertotoast,
sometimes signicantly 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 putting into the toaster. This
will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to
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, 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.
Frozen waffles, pancakes, french toast and frozen bagels
These breads and pastries should be warmed using the Defrost button.
Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the lling 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 toast button to lower the carriage into the toasting
chamber.
4. To stop toasting
When the toasting cycle is nished, the toast will be raised.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it is nished, simply press
the Cancel button.
