A GUIDE TO TOASTING
• Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. The heating element
causes the moisture to evaporate from the bread and then dries the bread
and toast is the result.
• Moisture levels differ between one type of bread and another, which in turn
will vary the toasting times.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads; remove any loose raisins or fruit
from the surface of the bread before putting it into your toaster. This will
prevent fruit pieces from falling into your toaster or sticking to the guard
wires in the toasting slot.

for concern, it is simply
dust being burnt-off from
the elements
Before first use, operate
the toaster on a medium
setting without any bread

Staler or thinner slices of
bread will toast more rapidly
than fresher breads
Toasting only a single slice
of bread
Set a lower setting
to prevent burning
Toast is not toasted
enough
Fresh bread, whole-wheat,
thicker slices of bread or
crumpets will take longer to
toast as it has more moisture
within the bread
Breads with a very uneven
surface
Set a higher setting for
a longer toasting time
Toast is trapped in the
toaster
Smaller items of toast have
been toasted
DO NOT insert anything into
the bread slots to remove
toast
Use the high-lift feature
to remove smaller items
of toast
