CONVENIENCE FOOD TOASTING
Many varieties of packaged convenience food are available today, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry). Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend exact browning 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 convenience food packaging.

TOASTER PASTRY
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the package does not have instructions, position the browning control dial to medium, between (3) and (4). 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.
• CAUTION : Never leave toaster unattended when toasting pastries.

NON-FROZEN SHELF PASTRY
Turn the browning control dial to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience foods, it may be necessary to adjust the browning control dial to a higher setting / longer toasting cycle.

REMOVING LODGED FOODS
NOTE : This toaster is equipped with Anti-Jam feature. If any toast or toaster food gets jammed, the toaster will shut OFF automatically.

1. If, after toasting, a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged in any of the toasting slots, unplug the toaster and allow it to cool.

2. Hold the toasting lever down. Turn the toaster upside down and shake the food loose.
   IMPORTANT : Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.

3. Clean the crumb tray and replace.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
• For best results, clean the crumb tray frequently.
• Different breads require different color settings. Press the illuminated CANCEL button at any time to check toast color.
• Do not block extra wide toasting slots. Never place any object over the top opening.
• Do not toast buttered bread, buttered Texas toast, buttered English muffins, buttered bagels or buttered pita bread. Melted butter will cause fire
• When toasting more than 1 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.
