We’re so confident in the quality and craftsmanship of your new toaster that we’re backing your purchase with a No-Hassle 3-Year Replacement Warranty. If your toaster malfunctions within 3 years of purchase, we will deliver a brand new replacement toaster to your door and remove the old unit at no cost to you. Here’s how it works:

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not operate while unattended.
Do not use with food that has been spread with butter, jelly, frosting, etc.
Do not use with rice cakes, fried foods, frozen prepared foods or non-bread items.

Always unplug toaster when not in use.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Shock Hazard

Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not operate toaster while unattended.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

Do not operate toaster with a damaged cord or plug or after toaster malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or adjustment.
Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in a toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts resulting in risk of electrical shock.
A fire may occur if toaster is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, overhead cabinets, paper or plastic products, cloth towels, and the like, when in operation.
Do not operate toaster in an enclosed space, such as an appliance cabinet, caddy, garage or other storage area.
Do not cook, warm, or toast rice cakes, fried foods, non-bread items or toaster pastries. Toaster pastries should be heated in a toaster oven broiler. Do not heat any food product that has been spread or iced with margarine, butter, jelly, frosting, syrup, or other spread. Follow Toasting Guide.
Failure to clean crumb tray may result in a fire hazard.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Hamilton Beach/Proctor- Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.

Other Consumer Safety Information

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
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 extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Parts and Features

Food Slots with Guides
Bread Lifter – Push down bread lifter to start toaster. The bread lifter may be lifted up to stop toasting during a cycle.
Shade Selector – The shade selector ranges from light to dark. Adjust to desired setting before using.
Programming Buttons
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.
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.
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.
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.
Slide-Out Crumb Tray (located on back of toaster – see page 8 for more information).

Using Your Toaster

Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
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.
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.
To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or push the Cancel button.

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.
Dark is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade is desired, reset at Medium, watch closely and toast for a second cycle.
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 overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.
To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, disconnect from outlet and allow toaster 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.

Shock-Resistant Concealed Elements

A mica shield protects and conceals the heating elements inside each slot, reducing risk of shock due to accidental contact with a metal utensil. Therefore, the heating elements are not visible and will not glow red.

Cleaning Your Toaster

NOTE : If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should be cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug toaster and let cool.
2. Slide out crumb tray, discard crumbs and wipe tray with clean cloth. Replace crumb tray.
3. Wipe outside of toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that may scratch the surface of the toaster.

Bread

100% Whole Wheat Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
11⁄2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) active dry yeast
1 cup (250 ml) warm water
5 tablespoons (75 ml) vegetable oil
5 tablespoons (75 ml) honey
1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
1 egg
3 to 31⁄2 cups (750-875 ml) whole wheat flour

In a large bowl sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy. Stir to mix, then add oil, honey, salt, and egg. Mix. Add 2 cups (500 ml) of the flour and mix for about 1 minute. Let stand about 20 minutes until bubbly and starting to rise. Add 1 more cup (250 ml) flour and mix.* Add enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until double in size. Punch dough down and let rise 1 hour. Punch down. Shape into loaf. Place into 9×5 inch (23 x 13 cm) greased loaf pan and let rise until double in size, about 30 minutes. Bake at 400°F (205ºC) for 30 minutes.
Substitution : For this whole wheat bread, do not substitute all-purpose flour for any of the whole wheat flour.

Success Tip!
To shape loaves, roll out the dough to a rectangle, with the shorter side being slightly longer than the length of the pan. Starting at the shorter end, roll up the dough. Tuck the end under and place in the greased loaf pan.

Basic White Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
11⁄2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) active dry yeast
11⁄4 cups (310 ml) warm water
11⁄2 tablespoons (22.5 ml) butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
3 to 31⁄2 cups (750-875 ml) all-purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) warm water. Stir until dissolved. Add remaining warm water, butter, sugar and salt. Stir until mixed. Add 3 cups (750 ml) of flour and mix* until blended. Add enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and shape into loaf. Place loaf into 9×5-inch (23 x 13 cm) greased loaf pan and let rise until double in size, about an hour. Bake at 400°F (205ºC) for 30 minutes.

Success Tip!
Warm water for dissolving dry yeast should be between 105°F (41ºC) and 115°F (46ºC). If a thermometer isn’t available, run hot water over your wrist. It should feel very warm, but not uncomfortably hot.

Onion Herb Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
11⁄2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) active dry yeast
1⁄4 cup (60 ml) warm water
1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
1⁄4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped onion
3⁄4 cup (175 ml) milk
1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried parsley flakes
2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
1⁄4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) dried dill weed
1⁄8 teaspoon (0.63 ml) ground sage
6 tablespoons (90 ml) yellow cornmeal
2 to 21⁄2 cups (500-625 ml) bread flour

In small bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. In small pan, saute onion in oil until tender. In large mixing bowl combine onion, milk, parsley, sugar, salt, dill- weed, sage, and yeast. Stir to mix. Add cornmeal and 2 cups (500 ml) of the flour. Mix on Speed 5 or 6. Add enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch. Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double in size.
Punch down dough and shape into loaf. Place into 9×5-inch (23 x 13 cm) greased loaf pan and let rise until double in size about 40 minutes or until double in size. Bake in 400°F (205ºC) oven for 30 minutes.
Substitution : If fresh dill weed is on hand, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of chopped, fresh dill weed can be used instead of 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of dried dill weed.

Success Tip!
Bread dough rises best at a temperature between 75°F (24ºC) and 85°F (29ºC). If the kitchen is cold, place the bowl of covered dough on a rack in the oven. Place a bowl of hot water on a rack below. Do not turn on the oven during rising.

Honey Wheat Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks
11⁄2 teaspoons (7.5 ml) active dry yeast
1⁄4 cup (60 ml) warm water
3⁄4 cup + 2 tablespoons (175 ml + 30 ml) milk
2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
11⁄2 cups (375 ml) whole wheat flour
1 to 2 cups (250-625 ml) all-purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and water. Stir until dissolved. Add milk, butter, honey, and salt. Stir until mixed. Add whole wheat flour and 1 cup (250 ml) of all-purpose flour and mix until blended. Add enough of the remaining flour and continue kneading until dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch. Place dough in large, greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise until double in size, about an hour.
Punch dough down and shape into loaf. Place loaf into 9×5-inch (23 x 13 cm) greased loaf pan and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour. Bake in 400°F (205ºC) oven about 30 minutes.
Substitution : Follow the recipe, using the given amounts of whole wheat bread and all-purpose flour. Substituting all whole-wheat flour can result in a coarse and dense texture.

Success Tip!
Always store honey at room temperature, not in the refrigerator. Refrigeration promotes crystallization. Some crystallization will occur even at room temperature and this is normal. To remove crystals, place the jar of honey in warm water until crystals melt.
