CUSTOM SETTINGS

Toasting

The toaster is preset for browning 2 slices of bread to a medium (#4) setting.. Custom settings will adjust the time required to achieve the browning shade you selected..

If you desire a custom setting, select one or more of the following:

4-6 Slice – Increases toasting time for preparing four to six slices of toast..

Bagel – Adds correct amount of time to toast cycle for bagels.. Can also use this button for English muffins and thickly sliced breads..

Defrost – Will defrost, then toast your item.. Adds time to the toast cycle for defrosting..

Reheat – For reheating pretoasted bread.. Will reheat without browning..

Note: To prepare one slice without overtoasting, press the toast button and choose a lighter browning setting than usual..

When choosing these custom settings, a red LED light will come on above the selected feature button(s).. You can combine as many as three of these custom settings simultaneously to customize your toasting cycle.. The Reheat setting can only be combined with the 4-6 Slice setting..

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.. The toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle and hold your browning selection in memory until you change the selection or unplug the unit.. The browning selection will return to the number 4 medium setting when the oven is unplugged..

Important notes on toasting use

The Toast button must be pressed first before you can choose your custom or browning selections..

The oven rack must be in rack position B as indicated in the diagram on page 11..

The timer can only be used with the 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.. For English muffins, we suggest you use the Total Touch® browning selection on the custom settings panel and setting #6..

Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting occurs.. We suggest you use the Total Touch® browning selection which will add to the normal toasting time.. For moister breads or very thick pieces, you may need to make the toast setting darker than you normally would.. Very thick pieces may require two cycles..

Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.. Select the Bagel button, which adds the extra time needed for toasting most bagels..

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..

This oven can be adjusted for four slices of toast by pressing the 4-6 Slice button on the custom settings control panel.. To prevent overtoasting of a single slice, select the Toast button and set browning control to a lighter setting than you normally would..

4-6 Slice Button

The unique 4-6 Slice feature will add the right amount of time to toast 4-6 slices of bread at once..

1..Place 4 to 6 slices of bread on the center of the oven rack, 2 to 3 slices in the front and 2 to 3 slices in the back.. Close oven door..

2..Press Toast button..
