4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

Basic Toasting:

1. Insert bread slices into the toasting slots. The toaster features self-centering guides to hold bread evenly.
2. Select your desired browning level using the browning control dial (settings 1-6). Setting 1 is for light toast, and setting 6 is for dark toast.
3. Press down the high lift lever until it locks into place. The toasting cycle will begin.
4. Once the selected browning cycle is complete, the toast will automatically pop up.

• Bagel Function: Insert bagels with the cut side facing inwards. Select your desired browning level and press the 'Bagel' button. This function toasts the cut side while gently warming the outer side.
• Frozen Function: Insert frozen bread. Select your desired browning level and press the 'Frozen' button. This function automatically extends the toasting time to account for thawing.
• Reheat Function: To warm up already toasted bread without further browning, insert the bread, select a low browning level (e.g., 1 or 2), and press the 'Reheat' button.
• Cancel Function: To stop the toasting cycle at any time, press the 'Cancel' button.

High Lift Lever:

After toasting, the high lift lever can be manually raised further to safely retrieve smaller items like English muffins or crumpets without touching hot surfaces.

• Smoke coming from the toaster:
  • Immediately press the 'Cancel' button and unplug the toaster.
  • Check for lodged food particles or excessive crumbs in the crumb tray. Clean thoroughly.
