Tips and Troubleshooting

•Toasting is affected by the tempera- ture of the bread. Room temperature bread may toast to a medium color on Medium. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require setting Medium Dark, and if frozen, Dark.

•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 extends toasting time to allow most bagels to toast in one cycle. Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.

•Dark is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade is desired, reset at Medium, watch closely and toast for a second cycle.

•Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on Medium Dark, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade selector to setting Light or Medium Light and toast for a sec- ond 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, 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.

Shock-Resistant Concealed Elements

A mica shield protects and conceals the heating elements inside each slot, reducing risk of shock due to accidental contact with a metal utensil. Therefore, the heating elements are not visible and will not glow red.
