SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

TIPS AND HINTS

Notes on Browning

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in varying toasting times.

• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally
• For very fresh bread or whole-wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, , from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal

Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels

Use the Defrost function to defrost and then toast these items.
Simply insert the frozen item, select desired function, select Defrost, select desired browning setting (1–7) and then press down the lever to start.
