Other Consumer Safety Information
To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another
high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was
selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled
in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the
toaster. Care must be taken to arrange the exten-
sion cord so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by chil-
dren or accidentally tripped over.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug.
This type of plug has one blade wider than the
other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature intended to help
reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qual-
ified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

Tips and Troubleshooting
• Toasting is affected by the tempera-
ture of the bread. Room temperature
bread may toast to a medium color
on Medium. The same type of bread
that has been refrigerated may require
setting Medium Dark, and if frozen,
Dark.
• The moisture content will also affect
toasting. Fresh bagels, made locally,
will have a higher moisture content
than bagels purchased in the bread
• Because of the irregular surface of
English muffins, they may require
more than one toasting cycle. After
toasting for one cycle on Medium
Dark, if a darker shade is desired,
adjust shade selector to setting Light
or Medium Light and toast for a sec-
ond cycle. Watch closely to avoid
overbrowning. English muffins cut
with a knife toast more evenly than
English muffins split with a fork.

setting extends toasting time to allow
most bagels to toast in one cycle.
Fresh bagels made locally may
require two toasting cycles.
• Dark is the darkest shade of toast
color. If a darker shade is desired,
reset at Medium, watch closely and
toast for a second cycle.
in food slots, disconnect from outlet
and allow toaster to cool. Turn
toaster upside down and shake. Do
not use fork or other utensil that
could damage heating element or
result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
• When toasting a single slice, you may
notice variations in bread color from
side to side.
Shock-Resistant Concealed Elements
A mica shield protects and conceals the heating elements inside each slot,
reducing risk of shock due to accidental contact with a metal utensil.
Therefore, the heating elements are not visible and will not glow red.

Bread
100% Whole Wheat Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
11⁄2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3 to 31⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons honey
In a large bowl sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy. Stir
to mix, then add oil, honey, salt, and egg. Mix. Add 2 cups of the flour and mix for
about 1 minute. Let stand about 20 minutes until bubbly and starting to rise. Add 1
more cup flour and mix.* Add enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a
smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until double in
size. Punch dough down and let rise 1 hour. Punch down. Shape into loaf. Place into
9x5 inch greased loaf pan and let rise until double in size, about 30 minutes. Bake at
400°F for 30 minutes.
Substitution: For this whole wheat bread, do not substitute all-purpose flour for any
of the whole wheat flour.
Success Tip!
To shape loaves, roll out the dough to a rectangle, with the shorter side being slightly
longer than the length of the pan. Starting at the shorter end, roll up the dough. Tuck
the end under and place in the greased loaf pan.
Basic White Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
11⁄2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoons salt
11⁄4 cups warm water
11⁄2 tablespoons butter or
margarine, melted
3 to 31⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and 1⁄4 cup warm water. Stir until dissolved.
Add remaining warm water, butter, sugar and salt. Stir until mixed. Add 3 cups of flour
and mix* until blended. Add enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a smooth
ball that is slightly sticky to the touch.
Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 1
hour. Punch dough down and shape into loaf. Place loaf into 9x5-inch greased loaf
pan and let rise until double in size, about an hour. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
Success Tip!
Warm water for dissolving dry yeast should be between 105°F and 115°F. If a ther-
mometer isn't available, run hot water over your wrist. It should feel very warm, but
not uncomfortably hot.
11
Bread
Onion Herb Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks.
11⁄2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 cup warm water
1⁄4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1⁄8 teaspoon ground sage
6 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 to 21⁄2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1⁄4 cup finely chopped onion
3⁄4 cup milk
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
In small bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. In small pan, saute onion in oil until tender.
In large mixing bowl combine onion, milk, parsley, sugar, salt, dillweed, sage, and
yeast. Stir to mix. Add cornmeal and 2 cups of the flour. Mix on Speed 5 or 6. Add
enough of the remaining flour until dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to
the touch. Place dough in large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double in size.
Punch down dough and shape into loaf. Place into 9x5 inch greased loaf pan and let
rise until double in size about 40 minutes or until double in size. Bake in 400°F oven
for 30 minutes.
Substitution: If fresh dill weed is on hand, 1 tablespoon of chopped, fresh dill weed
can be used instead of 1⁄2 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
Success Tip!
Bread dough rises best at a temperature between 75°F and 85°F. If the kitchen is
cold, place the bowl of covered dough on a rack in the oven. Place a bowl of hot
water on a rack below. Do not turn on the oven during rising.
Honey Wheat Bread
*Use mixer equipped with dough hooks
11⁄2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey
1⁄4 cup warm water
1 teaspoons salt
3⁄4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
11⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
1 to 2 cups all-purpose flour
In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and water. Stir until dissolved. Add milk, butter,
honey, and salt. Stir until mixed. Add whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour
and mix until blended. Add enough of the remaining flour and continue kneading until
dough forms a smooth ball that is slightly sticky to the touch. Place dough in large,
greased bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise until double in size, about an hour.
Punch dough down and shape into loaf. Place loaf into 9x5-inch greased loaf pan
and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour. Bake in 400°F oven about 30 minutes.
Substitution: Follow the recipe, using the given amounts of whole wheat bread and
all-purpose flour. Substituting all whole-wheat flour can result in a coarse and dense
texture.
Success Tip!
Always store honey at room temperature, not in the refrigerator. Refrigeration promotes
crystallization. Some crystallization will occur even at room temperature and this is
normal. To remove crystals, place the jar of honey in warm water until crystals melt.
