• Because of the irregular surface of
English muffins
, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one
cycle on setting 6, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade
selector to setting 2 or 3 and toast for a second cycle. Watch
closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife
toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.
• Thick foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If food
becomes jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off at the
end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let cool.
Use a wooden utensil to remove food.
• When
toasting only one slice,
the bread may be placed in
any slot of the toaster. When toasting a single slice, you may
notice variations in bread color from side to side.
• Setting 6 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade
is desired, reset at setting 3, watch closely and toast for a
second cycle.

alternative is not available, and you must use the toaster, be
