Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Electric Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate
properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop or tabletop
or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the
finish of the countertop or tabletop.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur or stains can
appear.

INTRODUCTION
The new Westinghouse Toaster crisps bread rapidly on the outside, while keeping it moist on
the inside.
Lowering one or both of the Toasting Levers closes the Bread Guides, holding the bread
centrally in the toasting slots. Toastec™ System Shutters at the top of the bread guides block
the escape of heated air, accelerating the browning process and cutting the amount of energy
used.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using For The First Time
To Operate Toaster
1. Carefully unpack your Toaster and
remove all packaging materials. Remove
any labels from the outer stainless steel
surfaces.
1. Position the Toaster on a firm, level,
heat-resistant surface, clear of curtains,
draperies, and other combustible
materials.
2. To remove any dust that may have
accumulated during packaging, simply
wipe the Toaster exterior with a clean,
damp cloth.
WARNING: Do not place the Toaster on or
near items that may become
damaged even by moderate
sources of heat.
3. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
2. Unwrap power cord from Cord Storage
Wrap on the underside of the Toaster.
4. Do not put the Toaster, cord or plug in
water.
3. Plug the power cord into a 120V AC
electrical outlet.
5. Before making toast for the first time,
operate both pairs of the Toasting Slots
without bread and with both Browning
Selectors set at the maximum setting.
This will help to burn off any dust etc.
which may have accumulated on the
elements. The new elements may give
off an unpleasant smell but this should
not be a cause for alarm. Make sure the
room is well ventilated while doing this.

Toasting Bread
1. Center the bread in the Toasting Slots.
Cancel Buttons
There are 2 CANCEL Buttons, one for each
pair of Slots.
2. Set one or both of the Browning Selectors
to the degree of browning required.
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before
it is complete, press the appropriate
CANCEL Button. The elements will be
turned off, the toast will pop up, and the
CANCEL Light(s) will go out.
NOTE: The Browning Control is
electronic–moving the Browning
Selector(s) after toasting has started
will not change the degree of
browning.
Reheating Toast
This Toaster has a special setting for
reheating toast, which overrides the
Browning Selector(s).
3. Press one or both of the Toasting
Levers down fully–the Lever(s) will not
lock down unless the Toaster is plugged
in to an electrical outlet. Each Toasting
Lever operates one pair of Toasting
Slots.
To reheat toast which has cooled, place it in
one of the toasting slots, lower the
Toasting Lever, then press the REHEAT
Button. The REHEAT Light will illuminate, to
show that this feature is operating, and the
toast will be given a short burst of heat
before popping up.
The CANCEL Light(s) will illuminate,
and will stay on until the toasting cycle
is stopped, either automatically, when
the toast is ready, or manually, if you
press the CANCEL Button(s).
4. When using only one of the Toasting
Slots in a pair, do not allow anything to
enter the other Slot, as both Slots will
be heating when the Lever is lowered.
NOTE: The REHEAT Button affects all four
Slots. You CANNOT program the
Toaster to REHEAT toast and make
fresh toast at the same time.
5. When the toasting cycle is completed,
the toast will pop up.
CAUTION: Only reheat plain, unbuttered
toast.
6. EXTRA LIFT: When toasting small items
(bagels, crumpets, etc.) the Toasting
Lever(s) may be raised further, to allow
them to be removed more easily.
Frozen Bread
Leave the Browning Selector(s) at its
normal setting, place the frozen bread into
the toasting slots, lower the Toasting Lever,
then press the FROZEN Button. The
FROZEN Light will illuminate, and will stay
on until toasting is complete.
NOTE: Do not operate the Toaster unless
both Crumb Trays are in position and
correctly fitted.
The toasting time will be altered
automatically to give the same degree of
browning you get with unfrozen bread.
NOTE: The FROZEN Button affects all four
Slots. You CANNOT program the
Toaster to toast FROZEN bread and
unfrozen bread at the same time.

Pastry
Removing Lodged Toast
For best results, follow the instructions
printed on the pastry package. If the
package does not have instructions,
position the Browning Selector(s) in the
middle. Some pastries may require a
second toasting cycle.
If a piece of toast becomes lodged in the
Toaster, unplug the Toaster and allow to
cool. Press the Toasting Lever down. Turn
the Toaster upside down, and shake the
toast loose.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE A FORK OR SHARP-
EDGED UTENSIL TO REMOVE
NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting
pastry items with runny-type frosting
or open fillings.
TOAST, BECAUSE THAT MAY
DAMAGE THE HEATING
ELEMENT OR CAUSE INJURY.

Important Points
• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in Toasting Slots.
• For best results, clean Crumb Trays frequently.
• Different breads require different color settings. Press the CANCEL Button at any time to
check toast color.
• Do not block top openings. Do not place any object over the top openings.
• 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 the REHEAT feature.
• 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
much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they should be toasted on the lighter settings.
• Never immerse Toaster in water.
• This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY!
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the
heating element or cause injury.

User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to
repair it yourself. Contact a qualified appliance repair technician if the product requires
servicing.
Care And Cleaning
• Unplug the Toaster from the electrical outlet and let it cool down fully before attempting any
cleaning operation.
• Wipe the outside surfaces with a soft damp cloth. If necessary, use a little mild liquid soap.
• Do not allow anything to enter the slots, as this might damage the elements.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
• Do not immerse the Toaster in water or any other liquid.
Cleaning Crumb Trays
• Unplug the Toaster from the electrical outlet and let it cool down fully.
• Pull the Crumb Tray(s) out from the bottom rear of the Toaster.

To Store
Unplug unit, allow to cool, and clean before storing. Store Toaster in its box in a clean, dry
place. Never store Toaster while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap cord tightly around the
appliance, use the Cord Storage area on the bottom of the Toaster. Do not put any stress on
the cord where it enters the unit, as it could cause the cord to fray and break.
