IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using your toaster, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE  
• Unplug toaster from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.  
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Metal parts can become hot. Use handles or knobs.  
To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug or toaster in water or other liquids.  
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.  
• Never leave appliance unattended when in use.  
Young children or incapacitated persons should not use this appliance. Supervise older children closely.  
• Do not operate or place the toaster:  
– On non-heat-resistant or flammable surfaces.  
– Near a hot gas stove flame or electric element.  
– In a heated oven or microwave oven.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not insert:  
– Utensils or foil-covered or oversized foods into the toaster.  
– Fingers or metallic utensils into slots when toaster is plugged in.  
• Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.  
• Do not use foods that will drip coatings or fillings when heated. Such accumulations inside the toaster  
create unsanitary conditions and the possibility of fire or toaster malfunction. Clean out accumulated  
crumbs frequently to avoid risk of fire or toaster malfunction. Do not operate the toaster without the  
crumb tray being replaced in its correct position.  
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned  
or has been damaged in any manner. Return the toaster to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Appliance  
Service Center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.  
• Do not use the toaster outdoors or for commercial purposes; this appliance is for household use only.  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments that are  
not recommended by the manufacturer; they may cause injury.  
• A fire may occur if toasters are covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls  
and the like when in operation.  
Toast lift lever must be in the normal up position before attaching or disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Power Cord Instructions  
Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.  
• This toaster has a power cord area that allows you to adjust the length of the cord so that it is the  
appropriate length for your situation. Try to position the toaster near the power source to reduce the  
hazards associated with power cords (such as becoming entangled or tripping over a long power cord).  
You may use an extension cord, if necessary, but be certain to follow these guidelines:  
– The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 120/127 volt, 60 Hz.  
– The extension cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop,  
will not be within the reach of children and will not be tripped over.  
• For toasters purchased in the U.S. and Canada: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider  
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized plug in only one  
way. If you cannot completely insert the power plug into the power outlet, reverse the direction of the  
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.  
• Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.  
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions  
or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.  
• Unplug the toaster when it is not in use and before cleaning.  
• Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the toaster during or after use.

Preparing To Use Your Toaster for the First Time  
If you are using your toaster for the first time, please be sure to:  
1. Remove any stickers from the surface of the toaster and wipe the outside of  
your toaster with a damp cloth.  
2. Insert the removable crumb tray into the crumb tray slot. (Figure A)  
3. Make certain that the bread carriage lever is in the uppermost position before  
plugging in the toaster’s power cord. (Figure B)  
FIGURE

4. Select a location for the toaster. The location should be:  
• A flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.  
• At least three inches away from walls or the back of countertops.  
• At least one foot away from any cabinet or shelving that may be  
above the toaster.  
• Away from flammable materials, such as curtains and wall fabric.

Adjusting the power cord length  
Your toaster’s cord storage area allows you to adjust the length of the  
power cord so that it is the exact length you desire.  
To adjust the length of the power cord:  
Wrap the power cord around the cord storage posts on the base of the  
toaster until the cord is the length you desire. Be certain to read “Power  
Cord Instructions” on Page English-1 for safety information. (Figure C)  
6. 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.) (Figure D)  
FIGURE

The first toasting process will preheat the new elements and burn off any  
dust which may have accumulated during storage or manufacturing. It is  
normal for this burn off to create an odor.

Helpful Tips  
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.  
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 Auto-adjusting, stainless steel bread guides will automatically center the food  
for even browning.  
Tip: Your toaster has been designed 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.  
The bread carriage lever will return to its original position and the indicator lights will turn off.  
On Models 6240 & 6243, the TOAST WATCHcontrol offers a precise visual and audible indication  
of your toasting. The toaster will chime and the food will pop up automatically.  
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.  
Cleaning Your Toaster  
After use and before cleaning, unplug the toaster power cord from the power  
outlet and wait for the toaster to cool.  
1. Wipe the outside of the toaster with a damp cloth and then dry it with  
another cloth or paper towel. Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will damage  
the toaster’s finish.  
WARNING: Do not use any pointed or sharp articles for cleaning the inside  
of the toaster; this may damage the toaster.  
2. Lightly tap the sides of the toaster to dislodge any crumbs caught in the toast chamber. Remove the  
crumb tray and empty it. Wipe the tray clean with a damp cloth or place it in the top rack of your  
dishwasher for cleaning. Be certain to put the crumb tray back into the toaster before using  
the toaster again.  
WARNING: Empty the crumb tray frequently. Crumbs will accumulate in the crumb  
tray and could catch fire if not emptied periodically.  
3. Wipe the non-stick surface on the top of the bread slots with a damp cloth and dry it with another  
cloth or paper towel.
