Cleaning and Maintenance, Frozen Breads, Tips

We recommend that thick slices be kept to a maximum of 1-1/4".

Thick sliced Italian or Portuguese loaves normally require a lighter shade control setting than other thick sliced breads.

Long Slices of Bread:

If your bread slice is so long that a toaster slot can only accommodate a single slice, we suggest that you set the browning control to a lighter setting than you normally would.

Croissants:

Croissants should not be more than 5" long. Slice in half horizontally. Use a light to medium setting for toasting.

Frozen Breads

The following breads and pastries should be defrosted and warmed using the Defrost button:

Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels:

Press the Defrost button when defrosting and toasting waffles, pancakes, french toast and bagel halves. For best results, use a few toasting cycles at a low setting. A longer toasting time can result in waffles, pancakes or french toast that are toasted on the outside but cool or soggy on the inside.

Tips:

Never force foods into the Toasting Slot. Foods should fit freely between the guard wires.

Do not place buttered breads or frosted pastries in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.

Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.

Never insert hard objects into the toasting slot.

After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
