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

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

tripped over.

Care and Cleaning
NOTE: If Toaster is used daily, Crumb Trays should be cleaned daily.
- Unplug Toaster and let cool.
- Slide out Crumb Trays, discard crumbs, and wipe off with clean cloth; then slide back into place.
- Wipe outside of Toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that may scratch the surface of Toaster.
Troubleshooting
- Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color on setting 4. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require setting 5 or 7.
- 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.
- Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may require a longer toast time. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.
- To remove food that becomes lodged in the Slots, disconnect Toaster from outlet and allow it to cool. Turn Toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil that could damage heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
- When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to side.
- Setting 7 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade is desired, reset at 3, watch closely, and toast for a second cycle.
