• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to side.
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 5 setting. The same
type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture and sugar content will also affect toasting. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness.
• 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.
