When toasting, the toasting time will count down on the clock display. The
timing will be different for each custom setting you choose. Keep in mind
that the timing is adjusted by the oven thermostat. So if your oven is already
warm, the toasting time will be less than if you start with a cold oven.
The browning level selected will appear at the bottom of the clock window
by the numerical and LCD display.
Desired Color Display Light Position
Light Setting 1 or 2
Medium Setting 3, 4, or 5
Dark Setting 6 or 7
Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep 5 times and turn off.
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the
Start/Stop button.
Important notes on Toast or Bagel functions
The Toast or Bagel button must be pressed first before you can choose your
browning selections, Defrost or Reheat.
The oven rack must be in the Upper position as indicated in the diagram on
page 5.
The timer can be used only with the Pizza/Bake, Convection Bake or Broil
selections.
Helpful browning notes
Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread. Therefore,
differences in denseness and moisture level from one bread to another can
result in varying toasting times.
For slightly dry bread or thinly sliced bread, use a lighter setting than you
normally would, as it will toast more quickly.
For very fresh bread, thickly sliced bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker
setting than normal. Dense, moist bread may also require a darker setting.
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a
darker toast setting.
Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer, since more moisture must be
evaporated from the bread before toasting occurs. Very thick pieces may
require two cycles.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads and muffins, remove any loose
fruit, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the oven. This will
help prevent pieces from falling and baking onto the crumb tray.
To prevent overtoasting of a single slice, select the Toast button and set
browning control to a lighter setting than you normally would.
BAGELS
The bagel feature adds the appropriate amount of extra time to the toasting
cycle to toast your bagels at the color level selected with the touchpad
shade control. The Bagel button is designed for the standard bagel size (3
ounces). For deli-size bagels (3–6 ounces) you may need to increase the
darkness setting. The Bagel button can also be used to toast English
muffins, thick-sliced breads, and thick-sliced specialty Italian or Portuguese
breads, which require longer toasting times than an average slice of white
bread.
Center bagel half or halves on the oven rack. Close oven door. Press the
Bagel button. The LEDs for Bagel and Toast will both illuminate when this
feature is selected. Select desired shade of browning using the arrow buttons.
If defrosting frozen bagel halves, also press the Defrost button. Press the
Start/Stop button to start toasting.
To stop cycle
When the bagel cycle is complete, the toaster oven broiler will beep 5 times.
If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Start/Stop
button to interrupt.
Defrost Button
The Defrost button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread or
bagel which extends the toasting cycle slightly.
