POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Carefully unpack your toaster and remove all packaging materials.
• Remove and save literature
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, simply wipe toaster exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

Important: Do not use abrasive cleansers.

Important: Do not put toaster, cord or plug in water or other liquid.

• Plug power cord into standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
• Before toasting for the first time, operate all toasting slots without bread and with toast shade selection knobs set to maximum (7) setting. This will help burn off any dust or oils that may have accumulated during manufacturing. Toaster may give off an unpleasant smell, but this is normal for a new toaster. Make sure the room is well ventilated while doing this.
• Select a location where toaster is to be used, allowing enough space at back and top of the unit to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls. SELECTING TOAST COLOR

Note: The toast shade selection knob(s) can be found on the front of your toaster. The T4808 has 2 knobs, one for each set of slots.

1. Adjust the knob(s) to the desired toast color: 1 is for warming and very light toasting; 7 is for dark toasting (B); the numbers are a guide to help you select your desired color (the higher the number, the darker the toast).

Note: The first time you toast, it is best to use all of the toasting slots; position toast shade selection knob(s) to the middle setting (4); then adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.

CANCEL BUTTON

If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is complete, press the CANCEL button. Heating elements will be turned off and toast or toaster food will pop up.

Note: The T4808 has 2 CANCEL buttons, one for each set of slots.

BREAD TOASTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place your toaster on a flat, level surface.

2. Plug power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

3. Set toast shade selection knob(s) to desired toasting color (see SELECTING TOAST COLOR).

4. Remove all protective wrappings from bread or toaster food before placing in slots.

Important: Avoid toasting torn slices of bread and broken pastries that may get lodged in toasting slots.

1. Place bread or toaster food into toasting slots and push down toasting lever(s) to lower bread and begin toasting. Self-adjusting guides will automatically center bread for even toasting.

Note: When toasting a single slice in the T4808, bread may be placed in any toasting slot, but may toast slightly darker on the inside of either pair of toasting slots than on the outside.

Note: Toasting lever(s) will not lock down unless toaster is plugged into an electrical outlet.

1. When selected color is reached, toasting lever(s) will pop up and toaster will shut off automatically.

2. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use.

Note: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over opening of toaster.

Note: Do not operate toaster unless crumb tray(s) are in position and correctly fitted.

1. To interrupt toasting, press CANCEL button(s).

BAGEL AND ENGLISH MUFFIN TOASTING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: This setting changes the toaster to gently heat the outside of each bagel while toasting, the cut side of the bagel to the desired color. The BAGEL setting works great for English muffins, too!

1. Place your toaster on a flat, level surface.
2. Plug power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
3. Set toast shade selection knob(s) to desired toasting color (see SELECTING TOAST COLOR).
4. Remove all protective wrappings from bread or toaster food before placing in slots.
5. Slice bagel or English muffin in half; place one half in each toasting slot with cut sides facing center of toasting slots.
6. Push down to lower toasting lever(s).
7. As soon as toasting lever(s) are lowered and locked into position, press BAGEL button(s).
8. When bagel or muffin is done, toasting lever(s) will pop up. Toaster will shut off automatically.
9. To interrupt toasting, press CANCEL button(s).

CONVENIENCE FOODS TOASTING

Tip: The extra-wide toasting slots can accommodate many varieties of packaged convenience food available today, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry).

Note: Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend exact toaster shade 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 food packaging.

Pastries

Tip: For best results, follow instructions printed on pastry package; if package does not have instructions, position toast shade selection knob(s) midway (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.

REMOVING LODGED FOOD

If a piece of toast or toaster food becomes lodged in toaster, unplug and allow to cool. Turn toaster upside down and shake toast/toaster food loose.

Important: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, as this may damage the heating elements or cause injury.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Remove all protective wrappings from bread or toaster food before placing in toasting slot(s).
• For best results, clean crumb tray(s) frequently.
• Different breads require different color settings. Press CANCEL button(s) at any time to check toast color.
• Do not block toasting slot(s). Do not place any object over toasting slots.
• Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted butter will cause fire.
• Bread which has been toasted but not buttered may be reheated. Use a lighter setting and watch it carefully.
• When toasting more than one 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 more quickly than ordinary bread; they should be toasted on the lighter settings.
• Never immerse toaster in water.
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast or toaster foods because this may damage the heating elements or cause injury.
