•
For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting 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, 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, etc., from the surface of the bread before inserting 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.
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. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or
warming.
3. To Begin Toasting
Push the Toast lever down. This lowers the toast.
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 push the Cancel
lever up to end the cycle.
Tips
•
Never force food into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely
between the guide wires.
•
Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings
in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven
thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
Defrost Function
The Defrost function is designed to first defrost and then toast the
bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.
1. Insert bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in the
up position.
2. Set the Shade Control Dial.
Settings 1–2
For refrigerated breads and thinner frozen items such as frozen
pancakes.
Settings 3–4
For toaster pastries, frozen waffles and (thin) French toast, and
refrigerated bagels.
Settings 5–6
For thicker frozen items such as bagels, hand-cut bread and thick
French toast.
3. Select the Defrost function.
4. Push the Toast lever down to lower the toast.
To stop cycle
When the defrost cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply push the Cancel
lever up. After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.
Bagel Function
The bagel feature adds extra time to the toasting cycle to allow for
thicker breads.
1. Insert bread.
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in the
up position.
2. Select the Bagel function.
3. Push the Toast lever down to toast.
4. When the Bagel cycle is complete, the toaster will raise
the bread.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply
push the Cancel lever up.
