Power Cord & Polarized Plug Instructions

Power Cord Instructions

• 1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazard resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord.
• 2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
• 3. If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is used: The electrical rating of the extension cord must be the same or more than the wattage of the appliance (the wattage is shown on the rating label located on the underside or back of the appliance). The 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 unintentionally.
• 4. Avoid pulling or straining the power cord at outlet or appliance connections.

Polarized Plug

• 1. Your appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
• 2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
• 3. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it does not fit, please consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

WARNING: Improper use of the power cord may result in electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary.

General Warnings

• Toasting Lever: This lever lowers the bread into the toaster and starts the toasting cycle.
• Cancel Button: Press this button to stop the toasting cycle at any time.
• ON/OFF Button: This button controls the indicator lights and sound.
• Removable Crumb Tray: Located at the bottom of the toaster, this tray collects crumbs. It should be emptied regularly.
• Bagel Button: This button toasts the cut side of the bagel more intensely while gently warming the outer side.
• Shade Selector Dial: Located on the front of the toaster, this dial allows you to choose your desired level of toasting, from light to dark.
• Bread Slot: The openings where you insert the bread slices.

Operation

Selecting Toast Shade

The Shade Selector Dial is located at the back of your Toaster. Simply turn the dial to the desired toast color: turn dial to the left for light toasting, or to the right for dark toasting.

Toasting

1. Place your Toaster on a flat, dry, level surface. Plug the appliance into an outlet.
2. Insert one slice of bread into each slot.
3. Press the Toasting Lever down until it locks into place. This will lower the bread into position and automatically begin toasting. The toaster will pop up when the selected toasting cycle is complete. For best results, allow toaster to cool for one or two cycles between toasting.

NOTE: The Toasting Lever will not lock into place if the Toaster is unplugged. Lights and sound will engage for the first 10 seconds and the last 10 seconds of the toasting cycle. If you wish to turn this feature OFF, select "ON/OFF" button on the bottom of the toaster.

CAUTION: Do not toast pastries with runny-type frosting or open filling in toaster. To protect against risk of fire, do not put rice cakes in this toaster.

Cleaning and Care

Be sure the Toaster is unplugged and completely cooled before cleaning.

Wipe the Toaster exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Do not immerse Toaster, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

The Removable Crumb Tray is located on the bottom of your Toaster. Pull out the Crumb Tray (see illustration). We recommend emptying crumbs over a sink or waste bin as crumbs will fall when the Crumb Tray is released.

When replacing the Crumb Tray, make sure it is correctly aligned before sliding it back into place.

NOTE: Empty the Crumb Tray after every use to prevent the hazard of fire.

Removing Lodged Toast

If a piece of toast becomes lodged in the Toaster, unplug the Toaster and allow to cool. Turn the Toaster upside down, and gently shake the toast loose.

WARNING: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast as it may damage the heating element or cause injury.

CAUTION: Never operate the Toaster without the Crumb Tray properly in place.
