Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

I. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or toaster in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug toaster from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

1. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

2. Do not use outdoors.

3. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Volts: 120 Volts AC only.

Hertz: 60 Hz

NOTE: Your toaster has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The 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 unintentionally.

If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Parts and Features

Controls

Bagel Frozen A Little Longer Toast Cancel Keep Warm Light 2 3 4 5 6 Dark Shade Indicator Lights and CountdownTimer Shade Control

Keep Warm

If the food is not removed within 45 seconds of the end of a cycle, the toaster will automatically lower the food and activate a "Keep Warm" cycle using low heat for up to 3 minutes. The KEEP WARM indicator will light while this cycle is active. You can cancel this cycle at any time by pressing TOAST/CANCEL.

Shade Control & Countdown Timer

Precisely sets the desired brownness level. Indicator lights show the setting at a glance. During toasting, lights on the shade setting bar will blink to indicate time left in the toasting cycle.

Bagel

Your toaster features a special setting for toasting bagels, ensuring optimal heat and time for the best results. The heating elements will adjust to nicely toast the inside of a cut bagel without burning the bagel's outside surface.

Frozen

Your toaster features a Frozen mode for gently defrosting frozen bread before toasting. Use Frozen for frozen foods only.

A Little Longer

If you have a preferred brownness setting but would like to toast something “a little longer”, you can do so at the touch of a button, without changing your favorite setting.

Toast/Cancel

This is an automatic toaster. As soon as bread is placed in either slot it will begin to lower and toasting will begin using the selected settings. Some food may be too light to trigger automatic toasting. If the food does not begin to drop after 3 seconds press TOAST/CANCEL to start the cycle manually. Press again to cancel a toasting cycle already in process, or to end a Keep Warm cycle.

Using Your Toaster

Before First Use

Before using your toaster, check the extra-wide slots and remove any packing or printed material that might have fallen inside during shipping or handling. Do not probe inside the toaster with a metal object.

You may see light smoke the first time you use the toaster. This is normal. The smoke is harmless and will soon disappear.
