Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in
varying toasting times.

take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more
moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can
occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.

Single slice toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a
lighter setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat
the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a
single slice, you won’t overtoast.
Frozen waffles, pancakes, french toast and frozen bagels
These breads and pastries should be warmed using the Defrost button.
Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot,
long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave
toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.
3. To begin toasting
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To stop toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press
the Cancel button.
