Frequently Asked Questions - QuikServe 78222 WestBend

How to use the bread/bagel selector?

The bread/bagel selector allows you to choose the toasting mode. In the bread position, both sides are toasted. In the bagel position, only the cut side of the food is toasted. Place the bagel cut side facing forward.

What to do if the lever does not latch?

Make sure the toaster is plugged in and the tray is open. The lever only latches if both conditions are met.

How to clean the toaster?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Wipe the tray and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. The tray can be removed by pressing the lower right corner and pulling forward, then washed in warm soapy water (do not put in dishwasher). For the interior, turn the toaster upside down and shake to remove crumbs.

What to do if food is stuck in the toaster?

Immediately unplug the toaster and let it cool completely. Turn it upside down and shake to dislodge food. Never use a fork or metal object.

Can I wash the tray in the dishwasher?

No, the tray should not be washed in the dishwasher as it would warp. Wash it by hand in warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

What is the warranty on this toaster?

This toaster comes with a 1-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects in parts and labor, subject to household use and presentation of proof of purchase.

How to order replacement parts?

You can order replacement parts directly from www.focuselectrics.com or by calling customer service at [phone]. Have the model number and a description of the needed part.

Can I use an extension cord?

Use of an extension cord is not recommended but possible. If you must use one, ensure its power rating is equal to or greater than the appliance's and that it is a three-wire grounding type if the plug is polarized. Position it to avoid tripping hazards.

Why is there smoke and odor during first use?

This is normal. It is the release of manufacturing oils. Run the toaster empty once, at the maximum browning level, before first use to eliminate these residues.

How to adjust the browning?

Use the browning control knob from 1 (light) to 6 (dark). It is recommended to start at 3 (medium) and adjust to your preference. For pastries, use the lowest setting and watch carefully.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

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

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Always plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF," then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• 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.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.

• Oversize foods, metal foil packages, and utensils must not be inserted in a toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.

• A fire may occur if toasters are covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.

• Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.
  • For household use only.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Many accessory parts are contained within the packaging material. Before using, wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Operate the toaster the first time without any food in the toaster slots and with the browning setting set to darkest setting. This will eliminate any residual manufacturing oils.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Place toaster on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge or flammable materials.
2. Plug cord into 120 volt AC outlet only. Open serving tray. Note: Toaster will not function unless serving tray is open.
3. Set bread/bagel select switch to desired setting. When set at bread both sides of food will be toasted. When set at bagel the cut side of food will be toasted.
4. Place a maximum of two slices of bread or bagel into the bread slot. Be sure to place bagel into toaster with cut side to front as indicated on toaster.

5. Select desired toast color setting from 1 (light) to 6 (dark). We recommend you start with setting 3 (medium) until you become familiar with your toaster. Note: Toaster pastries, tarts and the like can ignite if over-heated. Toast at lowest setting with constant attention.

6. Press the toast lever down until it locks into place. Power light will glow and toasting cycle will begin. Note: Toaster must be plugged in and serving tray open for toast lever to lock in place.

7. When selected color is reached, toast rack will open in bottom of toaster and toast will slide out onto serving tray. Power light and toaster will turn off. After a few seconds you will hear a click as the toast rack automatically closes. The toast cycle can be stopped anytime by pressing the cancel button. If toasting additional food, always allow a few seconds between toasting for toast rack to close.
8. When finished toasting, unplug the cord from wall outlet and allow toaster to cool before cleaning. Wipe serving tray to remove crumbs. Close serving tray when not in use. Wrap cord around clips on underside of toaster for storage.

- A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

- Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Toasting can be stopped any time by pressing the cancel button.
• Use bread setting when toasting bread, English muffins, waffles, toaster pastries, etc., for toasting on both sides.
• Frozen foods may require a darker setting.
• If toasting foods with frosting or icing, place food into toaster with frosting side to front.
• After toasting, toast may be buttered or spread with your favorite topping while on serving tray.
• Do not cut on serving tray, as damage to tray will occur.
• Unplug toaster if fire or smoke is observed.
• If food becomes lodged inside toaster, unplug cord from wall outlet and allow toaster to cool completely. Turn toaster upside down and shake to dislodge.
• Never insert metal fork or other metal objects into toasting slots.

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

Note: Failure to clean serving tray may result in fire hazard. Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

1. Unplug toaster from outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.
2. Wipe serving tray and outside surfaces with damp cloth to remove crumbs or remove serving tray for cleaning as needed. Wash serving tray in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Note: Do not use any abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on toaster surfaces as scratching will occur. Do not wash the serving tray in an automatic dishwasher, as warping will occur.
