We recommend that thick slices be kept to a maximum of 1-1/4". Thick sliced Italian or Portuguese loaves normally require a lighter shade control setting than other thick sliced breads. Long Slices of Bread: If your bread slice is so long that a toaster slot can only accommodate a single slice, we suggest that you set the browning control to a lighter setting than you normally would. Croissants: Croissants should not be more than 5" long. Slice in half horizontally. Use a light to medium setting for toasting. Frozen Breads The following breads and pastries should be defrosted and warmed using the Defrost button: Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels: Press the Defrost button when defrosting and toasting waffles, pancakes, french toast and bagel halves. For best results, use a few toasting cycles at a low setting. A longer toasting time can result in waffles, pancakes or french toast that are toasted on the outside but cool or soggy on the inside. Tips: Never force foods into the Toasting Slot. Foods should fit freely between the guard wires. Do not place buttered breads or frosted pastries in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard. Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness. Never insert hard objects into the toasting slot. After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet. SPECIAL SETTINGS Defrost Button The Defrost Button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly. 1. Insert slice(s) of bread: Be sure the carriage is in the up position. 2. Set the Browning Control: Select desired browning with rotary browning dial. 3. Press the Start / Carriage Lever down until it locks into position. 4. Press the Defrost button. The LED will illuminate when this feature is selected. To stop cycle: When the Defrost Cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Cancel Button to interrupt. Reheat Button The Reheat feature allows you to reheat toasted bread without browning. 1. Insert slice(s) of bread: Be sure that the carriage is in the up position. 2. Press the Start / Carriage Lever down until it locks into position. 3. Press the Reheat Button. To stop cycle: When the Reheat Cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Cancel Button to interrupt or lift up on the Start/Carriage Lever. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning. 1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet. 2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning. 3. To remove crumbs, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the Crumb Tray in place. 5
