NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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. This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter. CONTENTS Important Safeguards 2 Features and Benefits 4 Before First Use 5 Cleaning and Maintenance 9 1.

Check that the crumb tray(s) are in place and that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the wall outlet. We recommend a trial run on the darkest setting to eliminate any protective substance or oil that may have been used for packing and shipping. A small amount of smoke and odor may be detected during this trial run. This is normal. Tips/NOTES ON BROWNING • Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires. • Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings in the toaster, as this could be a fire hazard. • Uneven toasting is usually due to uneven thickness of bread slices. • After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet. • Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture levels from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times. • For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would. • For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal. • Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher toast setting. 5
