TOASTING NOTES
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Moisture levels differ from
one bread to another, which can result in varying toasting times.
Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes 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 from the
surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces
from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wire in the slot.
Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
Single slice toasting: When you are toasting as single slice of bread, set the
light/dark selector lighter than normal. The toaster is designed to heat the whole
toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single slice you will
not over toast.
Pastries: Exercise caution when toasting pastries. The filling can become quite
hot long before the surface of the pastry becomes brown.
When the cycle is complete the bread carriage will raise the toast up. To
terminate the toasting cycle before it is completed, simply press down the cancel
button.
This unit can be used for 2-slice toasting or 4 slice toasting. Press down only the
Bread Carriage Lever on the Left Control panel (or the Right Control panel) and
other function button(s) on the same Control Panel the unit is for 2 slice toasting.
Press down the Bread Carriage Levers on both control panels together with
other function button(s), the unit is for 4 slice toasting.
Crumb tray
The crumb tray should be emptied regularly as a build-up of crumbs could be a
potential fire hazard. After toasting, allow the toaster to cool down thoroughly, then
slide out the crumb tray and empty.
Note:
The toasting slots allow you to use a variety of different bread widths, as well as
muffins, tea cakes, crumpets and bagels. However, you should not force items into
the slots which are clearly too large. If an item does become jammed, switch toaster
off and unplug from outlet immediately. Once cooled, turn toaster upside down and
gently shake to remove the lodged item. Do not insert sharp objects such as knives,
as this may damage the heating element.
