3. Make selection of custom settings.
If desired, select a custom setting(s). It is recommended that you
make your choices before the carriage / start lever is pushed down.
If no custom settings are selected, the toaster will brown your toast
based on the selection you made with the touchpad browning control,
for 2 slices of normal toast.
The custom settings will adjust the time required to achieve the browning
shade you selected in step 2 above.
If you desire a custom setting, select one or more of the following:
1-Slice -
For preparing one slice without overtoasting. Reduces
toasting time.
Bagel -
Adds correct amount of time to toast cycle for bagels. This button
can also be used for English muffins and thickly sliced breads.
Defrost -
To defrost, then toast. Adds time to the toast cycle for defrosting.
Reheat -
For reheating pre-toasted bread.
When one or more custom settings are chosen, a red LED light will come on
above the selected feature button(s). You can combine as many as three of
these custom settings simultaneously to customize your toasting cycle. The
reheat setting cannot be combined with other custom settings. You can also
change the custom settings after pressing the carriage / start lever, although
it is recommended that selections be made prior to starting.
4. Begin toasting.
Press the carriage / start lever down until it locks into the down
position. The toaster will start.
5. 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. You can also lift up the carriage / start lever to
stop the cycle. Note that pressing the “Cancel” button will also
reset the Browning Setting to the default medium setting (4).
Helpful Browning Notes:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in denseness and moisture level from one bread to another
can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker setting
than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require
a higher toast setting. For English muffins, we suggest you use the
Total Touch
®
Toaster’s “Bagel” button on the custom settings panel.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast,
sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated
from the bread before toasting can occur. We suggest you use the Total
Touch
®
“Bagel” button which will add to the normal toasting time. For
moister breads or very thick pieces, you may need to make the toast
setting darker than you normally would. Very thick pieces may require
two cycles.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves. Select the
“Bagel” button which adds the extra time needed for toasting most bagels.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads and muffins, remove any loose
fruit, 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 guard wires in the slot.
• A single slice of toast requires less toasting time than two slices of bread.
To prevent overtoasting, follow the directions under “Set the Touchpad
Browning Control” (page 4) and “1-Slice Button” (page 6). This toaster can
be adjusted for a single slice of toast by pressing the “1-Slice” button on the
custom settings control panel.
Notes on Specialty Uses:
Toaster Pastries:
Exercise caution with toaster pastries: the filling can become quite hot, long
before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. A low setting should be
sufficient. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warm-
ing. Avoid iced pastries. The icing can melt onto inside of toaster or burn
easily.
Muffins:
Require longer toasting time than regular breads. Slice muffins vertically and
remove paper wrapper before toasting.
