HOW TO TOAST
7
Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
Place bread or bagel in slots. Select toast shade,
press down bread lifter, and push Bagel button AFTER
pressing bread lifter down. If toasting bagels or English
muffins, place in slots with cut sides facing inside wall
of toaster.
At the end of toasting cycle, bread will pop up auto-
matically. NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down
unless the toaster is plugged in.
To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or
push the Cancel button (on some models).
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread.
Room temperature bread may toast to a medium color
on 3. The same type of bread that has been refrigerat-
ed may require setting 4-5, and if frozen, setting 5.
The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh
bagels, made locally, will have a higher moisture con-
tent than bagels purchased in the bread section of the
supermarket. The bagel setting extends toasting time to
allow most bagels to toast in one cycle. 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 toast-
ing for one cycle on setting 4-5, if a darker shade is
desired, adjust shade selector to setting 1-2 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.
To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, dis-
connect 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.
