3. Shade Selector – The

Shade Selector ranges from light toast to dark toast. NOTE: Please adjust to desired setting before first use.

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit. This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way. 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 table- top where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. Toasting Guide

as shown. Open the Crumb Tray and wipe off with clean cloth, then close.

3. Wipe outside of toaster with a

damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that may scratch the surface of the toaster. Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread, room temperature or frozen; the moisture content, fresh or several days old; and the size, thick or thin.

• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, disconnect from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil that could damage heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.

• The Dark Toast setting is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade is desired, watch closely and toast for two cycles.

• When toasting a single slice you may notice variations in bread color from side to side. 840124100 ENv01.qxd 2/6/04 9:54 AM Page 69
