• Toasting is a combination of drying and
cooking the bread, and because moisture
levels differ from one bread to another,
toasting times can vary.
• If your bread jams in the toaster, switch
power off, remove the plug from the power
outlet and ease the bread out of the
toaster.
Bread types
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting
than normal.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use
a higher setting than normal.
• 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 help prevent fruit pieces
from falling into your toaster or sticking to the
guard wires in the toasting slot.
• Bread which has a very uneven surface will
require a higher setting.
Crumpets and thicker bread
• Thicker cut pieces of bread (including
crumpets) will take longer to toast—
sometimes significantly longer. This is
because more moisture must be evaporated
from the bread before toasting can occur.
Very thick pieces of bread may require two
toasting cycles.
Muffins and Bagels
• Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into even
halves and fit freely into the bread slot. Do
not force them into the toaster
Single slice toasting
If toasting 1 slice it is recommended that you
use a lower toaster setting to achieve your
required browning and to prevent burning.
WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed
toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knife
or any other metal object, as contact with the
live element may cause electrocution.
