4. Begin Toasting.
Press the Carriage Control Lever until it locks

• Thickly cut pieces of bread and bagels will
take longer to toast, sometimes significantly
longer, since more moisture must be
evaporated from the bread before toasting
can occur. Very thick pieces may require
two cycles.
11. Cord Storage:
Takes up excess cord and keeps countertop
neat.
5. Select Custom Settings.
If desired, select the Defrost or Reheat Setting
after the Carriage Control Lever is pushed
down. If no special settings are selected, the
toaster will brown your toast based on the
selection you made with the browning dial.
• When toasting raisin breads, fruit breads,
or fruit muffins, remove any loose fruit, etc.
from the surface of the bread before placing
into the toaster. This will help prevent them
from falling into the toaster or sticking on the
guard wires in the slot.
USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the
crumb tray is in place and that there is
nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord
into the wall outlet.

the surface of the pastry becomes browned.
A low setting should be sufficient.
Never leave toaster pastries unattended
while toasting or warming. Avoid iced
pastries. The icing can melt onto the interior
of the toaster and can burn as well.

but cool or soggy on the inside.
Single Slice Toasting:
A single slice of toast requires less toasting
time than two slices of bread. Each chamber
is designed for 2 slices of regular size bread.
Lower the toast time for a single slice by
turning the Browning Dial to a lighter
setting. This will prevent overtoasting
the bread slice. For one slice of regular
