- Do not place utensils, fingers, or other foreign objects inside the Toaster while in use, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not attempt to dislodge food when the Toaster is plugged in. Unplug and allow the appliance to cool down completely before proceeding.

- StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
- Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even in personal injury.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit 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.
- A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
PARTS & FEATURES
using your toaster
- Remove all packaging material and stickers from your Dash Clear View Toaster.
- Clean the appliance and all of its components prior to assembly and use.
- Make sure loose objects have not fallen inside the Toaster.
- In order to eliminate any manufacturing residues, turn on the Toaster without bread and set the Browning Dial to level 4. The appliance may give off some smoke which is perfectly normal.
GETTING STARTED
- Place the Clear View Toaster on a clean and stable surface. Make sure that no liquids or flammable objects are near the appliance.
- Place the bread slices in the Toasting Slot. Press the Carriage Lever down until it locks into place to start the heating process. If the handle doesn’t lock, check if the appliance is plugged in and the Glass Panel Clamp is fully in place. The Carriage Lever will not click into place if the toaster is not plugged in and the Glass Panel Clamp isn’t fully and securely inserted.
- Turn the Browning Dial to the desired level. The higher the number, the more toasted your bread will be. You can stop the toasting process at any time by simply pressing the Cancel Button.
- Always unplug the appliance after use and let it cool down before cleaning or storing. When storing the Clear View Toaster, wind the power cord around the hooks located on the bottom of the appliance.
Note: Never stick your bare hands in the Toaster to remove food.
BROWNING DIAL
Seven heating levels give you precise toasting results. Simply select your desired browning level from the chart below.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- DO NOT SUBMERGE the unit in water. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface of the Toaster. Clean the Slide-Out Crumb Tray with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a lint–free cloth.
Caution: Be sure to clean the Slide-Out Crumb Tray regularly to prevent crumbs from accumulating at the bottom of the Toaster.
- Before cleaning your Toaster, unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely.
- Do not use abrasive scrubbers, sponges, or chemical cleaners to clean your appliance as this may damage it. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface of your Clear View Toaster.
- When not in use, store your Toaster in a clean, dry place.
CLEANING THE SLIDE-OUT CRUMB TRAY
- Remove the Slide-Out Crumb Tray located at the bottom of the Toaster by sliding it out from the side.
- Wash the Tray with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before returning the Tray to its slot.
- To avoid any lingering food odors, remove and clean the Slide-Out Crumb Tray after each use.
CLEANING THE GLASS PANEL
- Make sure the Slide-Out Crumb Tray is empty. Turn the Toaster upside down or on its side. Gently press the Glass Panel Clamp underneath the Toaster and then slide the Glass Panel out of the Toaster.
- Carefully wash the Glass Panel in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Slide the Glass Panel back into its grooves until the Glass Panel Clamp locks into place.
TIPS & TRICKS
- If the bread is too small to be removed from the Toasting Slot, simply lift the Carriage Lever to raise the Carriage to its uppermost position and then pick up the toasted bread. If you still cannot carefully take out the bread, unplug your Toaster and use thin heat resistant tongs to remove the bread from the Toasting Slot.
- Do NOT touch the metal parts as they will be hot!
- For pop tarts or frozen waffles, toast as directed.
- ONLY toast food that is meant to be toasted in a slot toaster.
- If the Toaster jams, the bread might be too thick. Remove the bread from the Toaster and slice it thinly.
NOTE: If the Carriage Lever does not stay down, the Glass Panel Clamp is not properly inserted all the way in. Make sure the Glass Panel Clamp is fully and securely inserted. See included note for photos.
