On/Cancel – This light will illuminate when the toaster is on. To cancel or end a cycle, press the On/Cancel button. The cycle will stop and the light will go out.

Bagel – Use to toast only one side of a cut bagel. Load toaster with cut side of the bagel facing out, as the center heating element is turned off during this cycle. To use: press the Bagel button after the toast cycle has started.

Defrost – Use only on frozen foods that were made to be placed in a toaster. This feature allows additional time for the food to thaw and heat through. To use: press the Defrost button after the toast cycle has started.

Reheat – Use to warm food that has cooled. This function starts a short 30 to 50 second toast cycle. The Shade Selector setting does not affect the Reheat time. To use: press the Reheat button after the toast cycle has started.

To combine programs is easy. For example, to toast a frozen bagel:

Load bagel in toaster with cut sides facing out.

Choose desired Shade Selector setting.

Push down the Bread Lifter to start the toasting cycle.

Press Bagel button, then press Defrost.

How to Toast

1.Plug toaster into electrical outlet.

2.Place bread or bagel in slots. If toasting bagels or English muffins, place in slots with cut sides facing outside wall of toaster. Select toast shade and press down bread lifter.

3.At the end of toasting cycle, bread will pop up automatically.

NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless the toaster is plugged in.

4.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 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.

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 second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrown- ing. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.
