SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the outlet. 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 appliance. The extension cord must be a grounding-type, /3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance. Other Consumer Safety Information6

Bagel Guide7 BAGEL The BAGEL setting toasts the cut side of the bagel and warms the rounded side. Place bagel in the toaster with the cut sides facing out. The BAGEL setting can be selected at any time. Settings Buttons With Indicator Lights BAGEL, FROZEN, and 1 SLICE settings can be selected at any time before or during the toast cycle. Once selected, the setting will remain active for 3 minutes after the cycle is completed and then will revert back to the normal toast setting. When a button is activated, the indicator light will illuminate. 1 SLICE When toasting one slice of bread, this feature ensures even color on both sides. The middle heating element is on when toasting starts, and turns off during toasting to prevent overbrowning of one side of bread. FROZEN The FROZEN setting will add extra toasting time needed to accommodate frozen or refrigerated bagels, English mufns, and other bread products. The FROZEN setting can be selected at any time. CANCEL CANCEL stops the toasting cycle. Press the CANCEL button during any toast cycle. The Toaster will stop toasting and “pop” the bread up so it’s easy to retrieve. CANCEL can be selected at any time.8 Toaster Operation WARNING Fire Hazard Do not operate toaster unattended. Unplug after use. NOTE: Bread Lifter(s) will not latch down unless Toaster is plugged in.

1. Select toasting shade. Use shade

selector to manage toast browning. Turn the knob left or right to the desired number: the lower the number, the lighter the toast; the higher the number, the darker the toast. Many households nd a preferred shade that works for most family members most of the time, but the shade can also be customized at each toasting if desired.

2. Select toasting setting by pressing the

desired button. See page 7 for setting button descriptions. Once selected, the setting will remain active for 3 minutes after the cycle is completed and then will revert back to the normal toast setting.

HOW TO USE 1 SLICE SETTING

1. Place bread in the toaster, press bread

lifter down, and select 1 SLICE.

2. When activated, 1 SLICE ensures even

toasting on both sides of the bread.

3. At the end of the toast cycle, the

To stop 1 SLICE at any time and retrieve the toast, select CANCEL.9 TOASTING TIPS The Wolf Gourmet Toaster makes it possible to perfectly toast everything from thick slices of artisan bread to bagels, English mufns, and gluten-free or thinly sliced homemade bread. There is a wide variety of breads that can be toasted. Heartier dense breads will take longer to toast, while sweet fruited breads will toast faster due to their level of sugar. Fresh bread will take longer to toast than day-old bread. Adjust your toaster according to your personal preference and the type of bread you are toasting.

• Toasting is affected by bread temperature. Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 3–5 setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.

• Moisture content also affects toasting. Fresh bagels, made locally, have a higher moisture content than bagels purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness.

• Because of their irregular surface, English muffins may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on the highest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust the shade selector to a lower setting and toast for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.

• When toasting only one slice, the bread may be placed in any slot of the toaster. Select 1 SLICE to ensure even browning on both sides of the bread.

• On the 4-slice toaster, when toasting one or two slices, best results are achieved by using either the left two slots or the right two slots of the toaster at the same time.

• For toasting frozen or refrigerated bagels, select both BAGEL and FROZEN to ensure the bagel is toasted on one side and thoroughly warmed. NOTE: The Wolf Gourmet Toaster is designed to use radiant heat to toast bread. While toasting, heating elements do not need to be glowing, or evenly glowing, to be functioning properly.10 CLEANINGCrumb Tray Wipe with a clean lint‐free cloth.Food Slots Wipe top of food slots with a clean lint‐free cloth. Toaster Body Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a clean lint‐free cloth. Care Recommendations BEFORE CLEANING Unplug toaster and let cool. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts, causing a risk of electric shock. The toaster should be cleaned regularly for best performance and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of re hazard. IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners.

• To remove food that becomes lodged in the food slots, disconnect toaster from outlet and allow it to cool. Use a non-metal utensil to loosen food from the grill wires, allowing it to fall into the crumb tray. Empty crumb tray.

NEVER heat cracked, broken, or warped pastries and NEVER leave unattended.11 Troubleshooting Bagels, English mufns, and other bread products are too light.

• The FROZEN setting can be selected to add time to room-temperature, refrigerated, or frozen bagels; English mufns; and other bread products. Bread won’t pop up.

• If food is jammed, press Bread Lifter all the way down to the bottom. Then, press CANCEL or manually raise Bread Lifter. Setting indicator lights won’t turn off.

• Toaster will retain settings for 3 minutes to accommodate back-to-back toasting cycles.

• To turn individual settings off, press setting button again. One side of the bread is darker than the other.

• This toaster is optimized to evenly toast all slices. When just toasting one slice, select 1 SLICE to ensure even browning on both sides of the bread. Bagels are toasting on only one side.

• BAGEL setting is designed to toast only the cut side of the bread.

• When loading the bagel, place the bagel in the Toaster with cut sides facing out. On 4-slice models, make sure to use either the two slots on the left or the two slots on the right. Frozen food items get too brown.

• Some foods, i.e., Belgian wafes, have a higher sugar content and brown more easily. The FROZEN setting lengthens the toasting time to allow for defrosting. Try toasting without using the FROZEN setting.

• Bread products can easily dry out in the freezer. If frozen items are in an open box or have been frozen for a long period of time, try toasting without the FROZEN setting or choose a lighter shade setting. Tall homemade or extra-long artisan breads don’t t in slots.

• Bread may need to be trimmed to t slots. Wolf, Wolf & Design, Wolf Gourmet, W & Design and the color red as applied to knobs are registered trademarks and service marks of Wolf Gourmet.
