Once I press the bagel button, will it stay on
until I turn it off?
No, when you press the Bagel button
(or defrost or reheat buttons) it is only activated for that
toasting cycle. Once done toasting, the toaster will go
back to standard bread mode.
I see a small spark inside my toaster when the
lever disengages?
This is completely normal and will
not harm you or the toaster. This is caused by the main
power switch turning off.
Why do some types of bread brown more than
others when using the same shade selection?
This could be due to a several factors. The moisture,
texture, temperature, sugar content and thickness of
the slices can all affect levels of browning.
In general, fresher breads have more moisture and brown
slower than breads that are a bit drier and are closer to
their expiration date. Room temperature bread will brown
quicker than refrigerated or frozen bread. And, thin, light
textured breads brown quicker than densely textured, thick
sliced breads.
The buttons do not light up when I press bagel,
defrost or reheat. What am I doing wrong?
Ensure that the lever is pushed down before selecting
a mode.
I noticed that only half of the heating elements
inside the toaster are working when I toast my
bagel. Is this normal?
Yes. When using the Bagel
mode only the inside heating elements are operating.
This ensures that your bagel or English muffin is toasting
on the cut side without overbrowning on the other side.
