OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

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 exten- sion cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. Light Med.

1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.

2. Place bread or bagel in slots. If toasting bagels or English

muffins, place in slots with cut sides facing outside wall of toaster. Select toast shade and press down bread lifter.

3. At the end of toasting cycle, bread will pop up automatically.

NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless the toaster is plugged in.

4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or

push the Cancel button (on some models).

5. Programming Buttons (

Available on select models only.) On/Cancel – This light will illuminate when the toaster is on. To cancel or end a cycle, press the On/Cancel button. The cycle will stop and the light will go out. Bagel – Use to toast only one side of a cut bagel. Load toaster with cut side of the bagel facing out, as the center heating element is turned off during this cycle. To use: press the Bagel button after the toast cycle has started. Defrost – Use only on frozen foods that were made to be placed in a toaster. This feature allows additional time for the food to thaw and heat through. To use: press the Defrost button after the toast cycle has started. Reheat – Use to warm food that has cooled. This function starts a short 30 to 50 second toast cycle. The Shade Selector setting does not affect the Reheat time. To use: press the Reheat button after the toast cycle has started. To combine programs is easy. For example, to toast a frozen bagel:

• Load bagel in toaster with cut sides facing out.

• Choose desired Shade Selector setting.

• Push down the Bread Lifter to start the toasting cycle.

• Press Bagel button, then press Defrost. Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room temperature bread may toast to a medium color on Medium. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require setting Medium Dark, and if frozen, Dark.

• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels, made locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel setting extends toasting time to allow most bagels to toast in one cycle. Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.

• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on Medium Dark, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade selector to setting Light or Medium Light and toast for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrown- ing. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork. 840119200 ENv03.qxd 11/20/03 2:43 PM Page 69 Customer Service If you have a question, call our customer service number.

• 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.

• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to side.
