HOW TO TOAST
• 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 electron-
ic controls of this toaster allow
toasting batch after batch,
with no waiting for the
thermostat to reset.
• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, disconnect from outlet and allow
toaster to cool. Turn toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil that
could damage heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to
side.
