Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and
drying of the bread. Therefore, differences
in moisture level from one bread to another
can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower set-
ting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat
bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such
as English muffins) will require a higher
toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including
bagels) will take longer to toast, some-
times significantly longer, since more
moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very
thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit
breads, remove any loose raisins, etc.
from the surface of the bread before
placing into the toaster. This will help
prevent fruit pieces from falling into the
toaster or sticking on the guide wires in
the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel
into two equal halves.
Single Slice Toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread,
set the heat selector to a lighter setting
than you normally would. The toaster is
designed to heat the whole toasting cham-
ber for two slices. By lowering the heat for
a single slice, you won’t over-toast.
These breads and pastries should be
warmed using the Defrost button
Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast
and Frozen Bagels
Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries;
the filling can become quite hot, long
before the surface of the pastry becomes
browned. Never leave toaster pastries
unattended while toasting or warming.
3. To Begin Toasting
Press the carriage lever until it locks
into the down position.
4. To Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the
toast will be raised. If you wish to stop
the cycle before it is finished, simply
press the Cancel button.
Tips
• Never force foods into the toasting slot.
Foods should fit freely between the
guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads or pas-
tries with fillings or frostings in the
toaster, as this could create a fire haz-
ard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread
slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the
electrical outlet.
