General Notes

Note

Service 20-3-SG, 2-slice, crosswise feed, pop-up. This toaster has a cult following, fans consider it the best toaster ever made This toaster has no electronics but varies the toasting time to toast anything to the same doneness When you put the toast in, it smoothly, automatically lowers it and starts the heating elements. It uses a bimetalic strip that gets radiant energy from the toast but is screened from the energy form the heating elements. When the strip reaches the set point, it turns off the heating elements, then slowly raises the toast up.
