GETTING TO KNOW YOUR

TOASTERSLICER:

Your toasterSLICER has a number of control buttons and several unique features. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with them:

BEFORE FIRST USE:

1.Carefully unpack your toasterSLICER and remove all packaging materials.

2.To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, simply wipe the toasterSLICER exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

3.Do not use abrasive cleansers.

4.Do not put the toasterSLICER, Cord or Plug in water or other liquid.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

Before using the toaster portion of the toasterSLICER for the first time, you should run it through one toasting cycle without any bread inserted. This will remove the "brand new smell" that all heating elements emit the first time they are used.

Place the unit on a sturdy, dry surface and plug the power cord into a standard, 120-volt electrical outlet. Turn the browning control knob clockwise to its maximum setting and depress the bread carriage lever. Make sure the room is well ventilated during this process. (This is simply to allow the smell to dissipate more quickly - there is nothing harmful about the odor.) After the toasting cycle is complete and the lever pops up, you will be ready to

To toast bread:

1)Select the desired level of browning with the browning control knob. The browning level increases as you turn the knob clockwise.

2)Place your bread in the bread slot.

3)Press the bread carriage lever down until it locks into place.

4)When the set degree of browning has been reached, the bread carriage lever will automatically pop up.

5)Remove the bread.

To slice and toast bagels:

(Note: Slicing frozen bagels is not recommended. It increases blade wear significantly.)

1)Lift the plunger and insert an unsliced bagel into the bagel chamber.

2)Depress the plunger until the bagel comes

in contact with the inside cutting blade.

3) Depress the SLICE button with your index finger.

This activates the cutting blade. While keeping the SLICE button depressed, push down gently but firmly on the plunger with your other hand. The plunger will guide the bagel into contact with the cutting blade. For safety purposes, the slicing knife will only operate once the plunger comes into contact with the bagel chamber. (Note: Slicing will be completed before the plunger is fully depressed.)

4)When slicing is complete, release the SLICE button to deactivate the cutting blade.

5)To deposit the sliced bagel into the toasterSLICER's bread slots, simply push down on the plunger until it is in the fully depressed position.

6)Select the desired level of browning with the browning control knob.

7)Press the carriage lever down until it locks into place.

8)Press the Bagel button and the LED light will illuminate.

9)When the set degree of browning has been reached, the bread carriage lever will automatically pop up.

10)Remove the bagel.

Naturally, you can use the slicing and toasting features of the toasterSLICER independently. For example, if you want to slice bagels and freeze the slices, simply perform steps 1-5 as described above, remove the bagel halves, and freeze them. Similarly, bagels that have already been sliced - even frozen ones - can be inserted into the bread slots and toasted as described in steps 6-10. However, make sure you use the DEFROST button when toasting frozen items. (See FEATURES AND CONTROLS).

FEATURES AND CONTROLS:

Browning Control Knob

???The required toasting time of the bread or bagel will vary depending on the type, thickness and freshness of the bread. Bagels and thicker breads require longer toasting times, as do breads with higher moisture content.

???When toasting only one piece of bread, the browning control knob should be set to a slightly lower setting.

???If you are re-toasting a slice of bread, set the browning control knob to a low (light) setting.

Cancel button

???Press the CANCEL button at any time to stop the toasting cycle immediately. The bread carriage lever will return to its starting position and you can then remove the bread.

Defrost button

???To toast frozen bread or other frozen items (waffles, etc.), press the DEFROST button after the bread carriage lever has been locked down. The button s LED light will illuminate and the toasting cycle will automatically be extended.

Bagel button

When toasting bagels, press the BAGEL button after you depress the bread carriage lever. When placing pre-cut bagels or English muffins in toaster, make sure cut sides are facing in.

GENERAL TOASTING & SAFETY HINTS:

???In order to achieve uniform browning, it is best to wait a minimum of 30 seconds between each toasting cycle.

???Fresh bread takes longer to toast than slightly stale bread; adjust the browning control knob accordingly.

???When toasting two slices of bread at once, it is recommended that they be of equal size and freshness.

???Your toasterSLICER can be used to toast any foods designed for use in a toaster (bread, bagels, frozen waffles, tea cakes, toaster muffins, etc.). However, do not use items that are wider than the bread slots can accommodate.

???If oversized bread has somehow jammed the bread carriage lever in the down position, unplug the toaster and allow the bread to cool before attempting to remove the bread. Never insert your hands or any utensils into the bread slots of the toasterSLICER.

CARE AND CLEANING:

The toasterSLICER has a crumb tray that will collect crumbs from both the toasting chamber and the slicing area. It should be emptied and cleaned periodically. Before emptying the crumb tray, always unplug the toasterSLICER and wait for it to cool down completely. Tap the sides of the unit lightly to dislodge any crumbs in the bread slots. Then remove the crumb tray by pulling the tab on the side of the unit.

Empty crumbs into the garbage and wash the crumb tray gently in warm, soapy water. Dry the tray thoroughly before reinstalling it in the toasterSLICER. NEVER operate the toasterSLICER without the crumb tray, or if the crumb tray is wet.

To remove the cutting blade for cleaning, press the BLADE RELEASE button located below the plunger, and turn the blade release cap 90 degrees. Then pull up on the blade release cap to with-draw the blade.

Wash the cutting blade in warm soapy water, and dry it thoroughly before re-inserting it in the toasterSLICER. Never operate the toasterSLICER with a wet cutting blade.

After cleaning, simply grasp the blade release

cap and re-*insert the blade into the top of the toasterSLICER, making sure the cutting edge is facing the plunger. You will feel the blade click into place when it is aligned properly. It is not necessary to use the blade release button when re-inserting the cutting blade. Handle the cutting blade carefully - it is sharp.

Always make sure the toasterSLICER is unplugged and completely cooled before cleaning the outside of the unit. Wipe the outside of the toasterSLICER with a damp cloth and dry it with a dry cloth or paper towel.

???NEVER immerse the toasterSLICER in water.

???NEVER use sharp objects to scrape or clean the inside of the toasterSLICER.

???NEVER insert your fingers or any utensils into the bread slots.

???Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Always handle blades with hand away from cutting edge. Always store blades with cutting edge away from you.
