HOW TO TOAST
6
■
Plug the toaster into an electrical outlet.
■
Place the bread or bagels in slots. Select the desired
toast shade and press the Bread Lifter down. If toasting
bagels or English Muffins, place them in slots with cut
sides facing inside and push Bagel AFTER pressing
Bread Lifter down. NOTE: The Bread Lifter will not latch
down unless the toaster is plugged in.
■
At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up
automatically.
■
To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up the Bread
Lifter or push the Cancel button.
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
■
Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread.
Room temperature bread may toast to a medium color
on 3. The same type of bread that has been refrigerat-
ed may require setting 4-5, and if frozen, setting 5.
■
The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh
bagels, made locally, will have a higher moisture con-
tent than bagels purchased in the bread section of the
supermarket. 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 toast-
ing for one cycle on setting 4-5, if a darker shade is
desired, adjust shade selector to setting 1-2 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.
■
To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots,
disconnect the toaster from the outlet and allow the
toaster to cool. Turn the toaster upside down and
shake. Do not use a fork or other utensil that could
damage the heating element or result in risk of fire or
electrical shock.
