Parts and Features  
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.

How to Toast  
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.  
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.  
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.  
4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or  
push the Cancel button (on some models).  
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.  
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.  
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.
