Save these instructions For household use only

WARNING : This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electrical shock.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. 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.

Power Cord Safety Tips

1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Never use the product if the power cord shows signs of abrasion or excessive wear. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for additional guidance and support.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

California Proposition 65 : (Applicable for California Residents only)
WARNING : Cancer and Reproductive Harm www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other heatable surface, even if stovetop is not on. Doing so is a fire hazard.

Before First Use

1. Remove all packing materials and stickers from inside and outside of the toaster.

2. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel.
   WARNING : Never immerse the toaster or its plug in water or any other liquid. It is NOT dishwasher safe.

3. Read all instructions and follow them carefully.

How to Use Your Toaster

With your 2-Slice Toaster, you can select the toasting mode and shade setting just the way you like it.

1. Ensure the crumb tray is pushed all the way in. Plug in the toaster.

2. Turn the shade-setting knob to the desired setting. The higher the number, the darker and crisper the results.

3. Put your desired food into the toasting slots.
   NOTE : Use only bread products and products designed for toasters, such as toaster pastries.

4. For simple toasting, press the lever all the way down to start.

5. If using the BAGEL or DEFROST settings (see p. 8 for more information on those functions), push the lever all the way down, and then press one of those buttons.
   NOTE : Each button will illuminate when pressed.

Special Settings and Features

The toaster has three special features available at the push of a button as well as a special safety feature that automatically kicks in if food gets stuck in the toaster.

• BAGEL : This setting is designed to toast only one side of the bread. In BAGEL mode, only the outer heating elements heat up. For best results, insert cut bagels or English muffins into the toaster with the cut side facing OUT.
• DEFROST : Use for frozen foods like bread and waffles. This button defrosts and toasts simultaneously by increasing the toasting time by 10%.
• CANCEL : Use to stop toasting at any time. When the button is pressed, food will automatically pop up.
• Anti-Jam Function : Your 2-Slice Toaster is equipped with an anti-jam function. If food gets stuck in the Toaster, the unit will power off.

Toasting Tips

1. Do not put buttered bread or pastries with frostings into the toaster. This could create a fire hazard.
2. Never force food into the slots. Food should lower smoothly when the lever is pressed down, or it could get stuck.
3. Load bagels with cut sides facing out, since only the outer elements within the toasting slots heat up during BAGEL mode.
4. Lower your shade selection when toasting a single slice. The toaster is designed to heat the entire toasting chamber for two slices. When toasting a single slice, adjust the shade-setting knob lower than you usually would to avoid overbrowning.
5. Adjust shade selection higher for fresh bread. Moisture in bread slows down toasting. For very fresh or moist bread, adjust the shade-setting knob higher than usual. For drier bread, adjust the knob downward.
6. Choose thicker slices of gluten-free bread to toast. Store-bought gluten-free breads tend to be thin and crumble easily, making it difficult to evenly toast and keep in one piece. When shopping for gluten-free breads to toast, choose thicker slices with sturdier crusts.

Keep it Clean

Your toaster requires very little maintenance, just the regular removal of crumbs.

1. Unplug the toaster and cool completely.
2. When the toaster is completely cool, wipe the exterior down with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any fingerprints or smudges.
3. Remove and clean the crumb tray periodically to avoid buildup. If the toaster is used frequently, the crumb tray should be cleaned at least once a week:
   • Once the toaster is unplugged and fully cool, pull out the crumb tray at the bottom back of the toaster.
   • Use a sponge and warm, soapy water to wash. The crumb tray is NOT dishwasher safe.
   • Dry the crumb tray completely.
   • Be sure to push the crumb tray all the way back inside the bottom of the toaster before next use.
