OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE DIGITAL TOASTER With your digital toaster, you can choose from 3 functions (BREAD, BAGEL, and DEFROST) and 6 custom shade settings to get your perfect piece of toast every time. 1. Check to ensure the crumb tray is inserted in the bottom back of the toaster. 2. Unwrap the power cord and plug the toaster in. 3. Place your desired food into the toasting slots. NOTE: Use only bread products and products designed for toasters, such as toaster pastries. 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE DIGITAL TOASTER 5. Use the default shade (Shade 3) or set your desired shade by pressing one of the shade settings buttons. The button you choose will illuminate and the shade number will appear on the display. NOTE: The shades depicted on the unit are based on regular-thickness white sandwich bread. Whole-grain bread and extra-thick or -thin slices will brown at different rates and may take some experimentation. 6. Push the lever all the way down to start toasting.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE DIGITAL TOASTER 9. Alternatively, if you would like your toast slightly darker, press the +10 SECONDS button and a time of 10 seconds will appear on the display. Push the lever down and the timer will count down until toasting is complete. 10. To stop or check on your food at any time during toasting, press the CANCEL button. The lever and food will pop up and your chosen settings will appear on the display. To continue toasting, push the lever back down.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SETTINGS AND SPECIAL FEATURES The toaster has 5 buttons available as well as a special safety feature that automatically kicks in if food gets stuck in the toaster. • BREAD: Use for most types of sliced bread or food that needs both sides toasted. This setting is designed to toast both sides of bread, so all heating elements in the toasting slots heat up. • BAGEL: Use for bagels, English muffins, or rolls. Insert food into the toaster with the cut side facing out.
TOASTING TIPS • Do not put buttered bread or pastries with frosting into the toaster, as this can create a fire hazard. • Never force food into the slots. Food should lower smoothly when the lever is pressed down or it could get stuck. • Do not overlap foods within the toasting slots. Each slot is designed to hold 1 piece of standard bread or a single toaster product. Overlapping can cause foods to burn or toast unevenly. • Load bagels with cut sides facing out when using BAGEL mode.
TOASTING TIPS • Choose thicker slices of gluten-free bread to toast. Store-bought gluten-free bread tends to be thin and crumble easily, making it difficult to evenly toast and keep in one piece. When shopping for gluten-free bread to toast, choose thicker slices with sturdier crusts. • When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove loose fruit from the surface of the bread before toasting. This will prevent fruit pieces from sticking to the insides of the toasting slots.
TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQS Why won’t the toaster turn on? Make sure the toaster is plugged in. If it is, make sure that the power cord is not visibly damaged in any way and that the power outlet being used is working. If the power cord is damaged, do not use the toaster. Contact Chefman® Customer Support for assistance. Why did the toaster turn off when I started to toast? The toaster’s Anti-Jam Safety Feature causes the unit to power off if food gets jammed. Check to ensure that food is not stuck in the toaster.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Your toaster requires very little maintenance besides the regular removal of crumbs, making it super easy to clean. 1. Unplug the toaster and cool completely. 2. Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel, if necessary. CAUTION: Never immerse the toaster, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid; do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish. 3. Remove and clean the crumb tray periodically to avoid the buildup of crumbs.
