Be certain to read "Power cord instructions" on page iii for safety information. 4. Without inserting any food into the bread slots, push the bread lever all the way down until it locks. (The carriage will not lock if the toaster is not plugged into a power source.) The first toasting process will preheat the new elements and burn off any dust which may have accumulated during storage. It is normal for this burn off to create an odor. Your Sunbeam toaster is now ready for use. 5 Using your toaster SIMPLIFk"" toaster, model 6220 Adjusting the lighter/darker setting You can adjust how light or dark the toaster toasts your food.

To select the darkness setting: Turn the Lighter/Darker knob to the setting you desire. I I Inserting the food into the bread slots and toasting Now you are ready to insert your food into the bread slots. Keep the following tips in mind when inserting your food. Most types of breads and pastries can be toasted, such as bagels, tea cakes, thickly sliced breads, English muffins, waffles, etc. Slices should not, however, be so thick as to jam the bread slots. Remember, the toast setting is the default setting. When toasting two slices at a time, the slices should be of equal size and freshness to ensure even toasting. When toasting two slices of bread, place one slice in the center of each bread slot. When toasting one slice of bread, place the slice in the center of either bread slot. After you insert the food into the bread slots: 1. Press the bread carriage lever down until it locks. The self-adjusting, stainless steel bread guides will automatically center the food for even browning. Tip: Sunbeam has designed your toaster for optimum toast balance. Some elements on the inside of the toaster may glow more brightly than others when in use. This is part of normal toaster operation. After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up automatically and the bread carriage lever will return to its original position. 2. Carefully remove the toasted food from the bread slots. WARNING: Toasted food can be very hot, especially pastry fillings. Handle with care. Tip: To remove food jammed in the bread slots, unplug the toaster and remove the food once the toaster has cooled down. WARNING: Never insert your fingers or metallic utensils into the bread slots.

The toaster will stop toasting immediately and the food will pop up automatically. - OPTIONS" toaster, models 6223 and 6224 OPTIMIZE" toaster, model 6225 Selecting the food type Your Sunbeam toaster will adjust the light/dark range based upon the type of food you are toasting.
