• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 1–7
setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may
require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels,
made locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels
purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel
setting only energizes the inside heating elements. A second,
shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness.
Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle
on the highest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade
selector to a lower setting 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.
• 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.
