FUNCTIONS
Bread functions are designed to toast, or defrost (in conjunction with
the DEFROST setting) various types of bread based on their unique
properties. Some breads require more or less time due to density, sugar
content, and other factors.
The
WHITE
function is designed for soft, white sandwich breads. These
breads are made mostly of unrefined white flour, more commonly known
as the sliced, packaged varieties found in the supermarket bread aisle,
labeled as country or farmhouse white.
The
BAGEL
function is designed to toast bagels to perfection by reducing
heat on one side of the toasting slot. This toasts the cut side of the bagel
slightly more than the other side.
A directional icon located on the top of the toaster shows you the
correct way to insert your bagel. (The cut side should always face
away from center of the pair of toasting slots.)
The
GRAIN
function is designed for unrefined, nutrient-dense breads
made from 100%, or mostly whole grains, with varieties such as whole
wheat, sprouted whole grains, rye, oat, flax, etc.
The
ENGLISH MUFFIN
function adds extra time to the toasting cycle to
allow for a more dense bread type.
The
WAFFLE
function is designed for waffles. The default setting is
paired with the DEFROST function to defrost and then toast frozen
waffles.
The
SWEET
function is designed for breads with a higher sugar content
(naturally occurring or added), such as raisin-cinnamon bread, fruit
and nut bread, potato bread, some enriched breads (e.g., brioche,
challah), etc.
The
GLUTEN-FREE
function is designed for most types of gluten-free
bread.
NOTE:
The GLUTEN-FREE function does not remove the gluten from
your bread.
Defrost
The
DEFROST
function is a longer cycle designed to first defrost and
then toast the bread to the desired browning shade. LED ring around
button will illuminate when selected.
Single Slice
The
SINGLE SLICE
Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side
to side. LED ring around button will illuminate when selected.
Cancel
The
CANCEL
function will stop the toasting process and automatically
lift the bread.
TIPS AND HINTS
Notes on Browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in varying
toasting times.
• For lighter, airier, or slightly dry breads, use a lower setting than
normal.
• For very fresh bread, use the Grain setting.
• For breads with uneven surfaces, similar to English muffins or
crumpets, use the English Muffin setting.
• For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning
setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins,
etc., from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster.
This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or
sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves.
