Tips and Troubleshooting
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the
medium setting. The same type of bread that has been
refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium
color.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh
bagels
,
made locally, will have a higher moisture content than
bagels purchased in the bread section of the supermarket.
The bagel setting only energizes the outside wall heating
elements. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed
to reach desired browness. Fresh bagels made locally may
require two toasting cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of
English muffins
, they
may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for
one cycle on the darkest setting, if a darker shade is
desired, adjust shade selector to a lighter setting and toast
for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning.
English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than
English muffins split with a fork.
• Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after
toasting one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster
allow
toasting batch after batch
, with no waiting for the
thermostat to reset.
• Thick foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If food
becomes jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off at
the end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let
cool. Use a wooden utensil to remove food.
• When
toasting only one slice,
the bread may be placed in
any slot of the toaster. When toasting a single slice, you
may notice variations in bread color from side to side.
How to Toast
1.
Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2.
Place bread in slots. Select toast shade and press down
bread lifter.
3.
At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up
automatically. Lift up on bread lifter to reach small bread.
NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless the
toaster is plugged in.
4.
To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or
push the cancel button.
