BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Remove all packaging materials including those that may be inside the toasting slots or toasting lever slots.
2. Wipe the exterior with a damp sloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Do not put the Toaster, cord, or plug in water.
4. Be sure crumb tray is pushed all the way into the back of the Taster and the toasting levers are in the UP position.
5. Unwrap the power cord from the cord storage area on underside of the Toaster and plug it into a 220-240V AC outlet.
6. Turn the browning selector knob to (1), the lightest setting.
7. Lower the toasting lever until they lock in place. Operate without bread once or twice to burn off any manufacturing residue. You may notice an alight amount of smoke; this is normal and will stop as the heating elements continue to heat.

TOASTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure crumb trays are pushed all the way into the back of the Toaster and the toasting levers are in the UP position.

3. Plug the power cord into a 220-240AC electrical outlet.
4. Position the browning selector knob to desired setting(s). To test toasting times for browning, it is best to use both toasting slots’ position the browning selector know between (3) and (4) medium; then adjust each subsequent toasting to your preference.
5. Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
6. Insert bread or toaster food into the toasting slot(s). Lower the toasting lever until locked into place. The automatic centering guides hold food upright for uniform side-to-side toasting. When the bread is lowered into position, toasting will begin. NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock into position unless the Toaster is plugged into a 220-240V AC electrical outlet. NOTE: When toasting a single slice, the bread may be placed in any toasting slot. NOTE: To prevent a fire hazard, never place bread over the opening of the Toaster, always place bread into the slots. NOTE: DO NOT change the browning selector knob selection during the toasting cycle. First press the CANCEL button; then turn the browning selector knob to adjust the browning lever. Lower the toasting lever and toast until the desired toast color is achieved.
7. When the toast reaches the selected browning lever, it will pop up automatically.

9. To interrupt toasting, press the corresponding CANCEL button.
10. Unplug cord from wall outlet when not in use. IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
