WARNING Bagel Toasting Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Selecting the Bagel function will toast the thickest bagels and English muffins evenly, gently browning the bottoms while toasting the sides that are sliced. Bagel Toasting produces perfect results by shutting off power to the heating elements on one side of the toasting cavity. 1. Insert the bagel so that the flat (sliced) side of the bagel faces the center of the toaster. 2. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. 3. Insert bread or other food to be toasted into slot. NOTE: For even toasting on model KMT211, toast only one bread type and thickness at a time. For 4-slot model KMT411, with Dual Independent Controls, if toasting of two different breads is desired, be sure to toast only one bread type in each pair of slots. 4. Turn the Dial Shade Control to select the degree of darkness you want. Turn the Shade Control to the right for darker toasting or to the left for lighter. NOTE: Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require different shade settings. For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and will require a lighter setting. 5. (Optional) Press Bagel button if desired. See "Bagel Toasting" for more information. 6. Push the lever down until it locks in place. The centering racks will adjust slot width automatically to hold food upright for even toasting. When toasting is completed, the toaster will shut off and raise the toast. To cancel toasting anytime, press CANCEL. The toaster will shut off and raise the toast. 2. Set the Shade Control to the level you want. English muffins will generally take more time to toast than bagels. 3. Push the lever down until it locks. 4. Press BAGEL. The Bagel function, once selected, cannot be canceled except by canceling the toasting cycle. Do this by pressing CANCEL. The toaster will shut off and raise the bagel. 7
