NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance
and the finish of the counter top or table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

CANCEL BUTTON
At any time during the toasting process, you may press the

to pop up.
CONVENIENCE FOODS TOASTING
Today there are many varieties of packaged convenience foods
available, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry) that can be
toasted in your Toaster.
Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to
recommend exact Toast Color Control Settings. However, after a
little experimentation, you will discover the best setting for your
needs. You may also wish to refer to the heating instructions on
the food packaging.
PASTRY
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry
package. If the package does not have instructions, press the
LIGHTER or the
DARKER Browning Controls until 4 Browning
Level Lights are illuminated, indicating a MEDIUM color has been
selected. Some pastries may require a second toasting cycle.
NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-
type frosting or open fillings.
REMOVING LODGED TOAST
If a piece of toast becomes lodged in the Toaster, unplug the
Toaster and allow to cool. Press the Toasting Lever down. Turn the
Toaster upside down, and shake the toast loose.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove
toast, because that may damage the heating element or
cause injury.

IMPORTANT POINTS
• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in
the Toasting Slot.
• For best results, clean Crumb Tray frequently.
• Different breads require different color settings. Raise Toasting
Lever manually or press the
check toast color.
CANCEL Button at any time to
• Do not block top opening. Do not place any object over the
top opening.
• Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted
butter will cause fire.
• Bread which has been toasted but not buttered may be
reheated. Use a lighter setting and watch it carefully.
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of
similar size, thickness and freshness.
• Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea
cakes and fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary
bread, so they should be toasted on the lighter settings.
• Never immerse Toaster, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast,
because that may damage the heating element or
cause injury.
