4. Begin Toasting.  
Press the Carriage Control Lever until it locks  
into the down position. The toaster will start.  
• 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.  
Defrost - To defrost, then toast. Adds  
time to the toast cycle for defrosting.

two equal halves.

Press the Defrost Button when defrosting  
and toasting waffles, pancakes, French toast

toasting cycles at a low setting. A single longer

but cool or soggy on the inside.

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  
sized bread, follow these steps:
