Preparing To Use Your Toaster for the First Time
If you are using your toaster for the first time, please be sure to:
• Remove any stickers from the surface of the toaster and wipe the outside
of your toaster with a damp cloth.
• Insert the Removable Crumb Tray into the crumb tray slot.
• Make certain that the Bread Carriage Lever is in the uppermost position
before plugging in the toaster’s power cord.
• Select a location for the toaster. The location should be:
• A flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.
• At least three inches away from walls or the back of countertops.
• At least one foot away from any cabinet or shelving that may be above
the toaster.
• Away from flammable materials, such as curtains and wall fabric.
• Away from a gas stove flame or electric element.
• Plug the Power Cord into 120 Volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.
• Plug in toaster without inserting any food into the bread slots, push the
Bread Lever all the way down until it locks. (The carriage will not lock if
the toaster is not plugged into a power source.) The first toasting process
will preheat the new elements and burn off any dust which may have
accumulated during storage or manufacturing. It is normal for this burn off
to create an odor.
Using Your Toaster
Inserting the food into the bread slots and toasting:
• Most types of breads and pastries can be toasted, such as bagels, tea
cakes, thickly sliced breads, English muffins, etc. Slices should not,
however, be so thick as to jam the bread slots.
• When toasting two slices at a time, the slices should be of equal size and
freshness to ensure even toasting.
• When toasting two slices of bread, place one slice in the center of each
bread slot.
• When toasting one slice of bread, place the slice in the center of either
bread slot.
