What to do if the toaster lever does not stay down?

Make sure the appliance is plugged into a 120 V outlet. If the lever does not stay down, the appliance is not powered. Check the outlet and the TOAST button.

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 West Bend 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.
• Attach plug to appliance first, then 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.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• 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.

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

• A fire may occur if the appliance is 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.
• Avoid toasting foods with frostings or fillings that may run or that are made with open fillings. Frostings and fillings can catch fire.
• Do not toast pastries, tarts and the like at any setting other than the lowest or lightest setting and never toast twice as these items can ignite if over-heated and cause fire.
• Failure to clean and replace crumb tray after each use may result in fire hazard.
• Lift and open the egg cooker lid carefully to avoid scalding.
• Do not attempt to operate the egg poacher without water in the reservoir.
  • For household use only.

Before placing any food items in the toaster slots, plug in the appliance, select the "TOAST" function and run an initial cycle. Make sure the toasting slots are free of any debris or packing materials. Press the carriage lever down until it locks in position. This initial toasting cycle will clean residue from the heating elements. Please note that 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 also normal.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Use caution when removing the trays from the toaster, steam will be released and could cause scalding.
• The egg cooker timing is controlled by the amount of water placed in the heating tray. The more water added, the longer the appliance will cook.
• We do not recommend using most non-stick cooking sprays in the poaching tray. If you do use a non-stick spray, be sure that it is a 100% oil cooking spray with no flours or binders.

• This toaster does not have a bagel setting; both sides of the food being toasted will brown.

• Please note that many variables factor into making toast; moisture content of the bread, thickness, sugars and starches, and grains can all affect the browning of the bread when making toast.

• Wheat and whole grain breads tend to require longer toasting times. We recommend toasting somewhere between settings 3 and 5.
• When toasting, you may notice variations in toast color from side to side and top to bottom. This is normal, especially when toasting one slice of bread.

CLEANING YOUR 2-SLICE BREAKFAST STATION™

1. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Slide crumb tray out from under toaster, empty and wipe clean with damp cloth if necessary. Replace the crumb tray. Note: Failure to clean crumb tray regularly may result in a fire hazard.
2. Wipe down the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Thoroughly wash the heating tray, steaming tray, poaching trays, warming tray, and the lid with warm, soapy water.
4. The steaming tray, poaching trays, warming tray and the lid can be washed in the dishwasher when placed on the top rack.
5. The heating tray may accumulate mineral deposits after use. To remove these deposits, add 1 tablespoon concentrated vinegar and 12 cup water to the heating tray. With the lid in place, turn on the egg cooker function and allow the solution to boil for approximately 10 minutes. CAUTION: The water will be hot! After 10 minutes, press the "CANCEL" button, unplug the appliance, and let cool. When cooled, carefully dump out the remaining water, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.

CAUTION: Do not immerse any part of the appliance base (including the heating-tray) in water or any other liquid.
