electrical outlet.

CONVENIENCE FOODS TOASTING
Tip: The extra-wide toasting slots can accommodate many varieties of packaged
convenience food available today, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry).
Note: Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend
exact toaster shade settings. However, after a little experimentation you will
discover the best setting for your needs. You may also wish to refer to the heating
instructions on food packaging.
Pastries
Tip: For best results, follow instructions printed on pastry package; if package does
not have instructions, position toast shade selection knob(s) midway (4). Some
pastries may require a second toasting cycle.
Note: Do not use this toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-type frosting or
open fillings.
REMOVING LODGED FOOD
If a piece of toast or toaster food becomes lodged in toaster, unplug and allow to
cool. Turn toaster upside down and shake toast/toaster food loose.
Important: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, as this may
damage the heating elements or cause injury.
IMPORTANT POINTS
• Remove all protective wrappings from bread or toaster food before placing in
toasting slot(s).
• For best results, clean crumb tray(s) frequently.
• Different breads require different color settings. Press CANCEL button(s) at any
time to check toast color.
• Do not block toasting slot(s). Do not place any object over toasting slots.
• Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. Melted butter will cause fire.
• Bread which has been toasted but not buttered may be reheated. Use a lighter
setting and watch it carefully.
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness
and freshness.
• Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products – such as tea cakes and fruit loaf
– brown more quickly than ordinary bread; they should be toasted on the lighter
settings.
• Never immerse toaster in water.
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast or toaster foods because
this may damage the heating elements or cause injury.
