IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions

and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed including the following:

• Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use

instructions in this manual.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

• To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse

cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Always unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

• Do not operate if the appliance is not working properly or if it has been damaged

in any manner. For service information see warranty page.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may

cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.

• Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or metal utensils must not be inserted in a

toaster as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.

• A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material,

including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.

• Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.

• 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 into 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.

• For household use only.

To prevent personal injuries, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the

same circuit at the same time.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch

electrical parts, creating a shock hazard.

• Do not toast buttered foods. Melted butter can cause fire.

• Remove any plastic wrapping from food before toasting.

• Failure to clean crumb tray may result in fire hazard.

• Avoid toasting foods with frostings or fillings that may run or that are made with

open fillings. Frostings and fillings can catch fire.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is

not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the

detachable power-supply cord or 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-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be

arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be

pulled by children or tripped over.

• Do not attempt to use a voltage converter or other device to adapt your

appliance to a different outlet or voltage, as damage will occur.

USING YOUR TOASTER

To use your Soho

Toaster, begin by assembling the unit.

Toast Lever

Self-Adjusting

Bread Slots

Crumb Tray

Cancel

Button

Toast

Settings

Dial

Cord Wrap

WARNING: Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before assembling,

removing parts or cleaning. Never place the motor or cord in water or other

liquids.

TOASTING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Breads vary in density and moisture content, requiring different settings. The

best toast is made with day-old breads. Avoid toasting pre-buttered foods of any

type.

• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the

release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and

cooling – this is normal.

1. Plug the cord into the outlet.

2. Select a toast setting to the color of toast desired. For the ﬁrst use, set the dial

mid-way between the light and dark settings. Adjust to satisfaction.

3. Insert the bread or toaster convenience food into the bread slots and press

down on the toaster lever.

Note: Use any slot when toasting a single slice or portion. Use bread slices that

ﬁt freely into the bread slots. The self-adjusting bread slots hold food upright for

uniform side-to-side toasting.

4. A blue light on the cancel button will illuminate when the toaster is “ON “

5. When the toast is done, the toast lever will pop up and the power will shut off

automatically. To raise the toast higher, lift up gently on the toast lever.

6. To interrupt toasting at any time, press the cancel button.

Convenience Food Toasting

Many varieties of packaged convenience food are available, both frozen and non-

frozen (shelf pastry), that can be toasted in your toaster.

Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend the exact

toast setting. Experiment, starting with lower toast settings, until you discover the

best setting for your needs. Also refer to the heating instructions on the food

packaging for guidance.

Shelf Pastries (Non-Frozen)

Move the toast setting dial to the desired color. For thicker convenience foods, it

may be necessary to adjust the toast setting for a longer toasting cycle.

Frozen Foods

Move the toast setting to a darker color setting. Due to variation in size and density,

frozen items will require different settings. Moving the toast setting dial to the right

towards “Dark” will provide a longer toasting cycle.

Thawing frozen foods before toasting will help ensure the inside of the food is

adequately warmed and will prevent the outside from burning. Again, experi-

mentation is the best way to determine the appropriate setting.

CLEANING YOUR TOASTER

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do

not try to repair the appliance yourself.

CAUTION: Do not immerse in water or other liquids.

1. Unplug the toaster and allow to cool.

2. Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Polish with soft, dry cloth.

3. Remove the crumb tray from the back of the toaster and brush out crumbs with

a pastry brush or paper towel. Insert the crumb tray securely into the toaster.
