Once I press the bagel button, will it stay on until I turn it off? No, when you press the Bagel button (or defrost or reheat buttons) it is only activated for that toasting cycle. Once done toasting, the toaster will go back to standard bread mode.
I see a small spark inside my toaster when the lever disengages? This is completely normal and will not harm you or the toaster. This is caused by the main power switch turning off.
Why do some types of bread brown more than others when using the same shade selection? This could be due to a several factors. The moisture, texture, temperature, sugar content and thickness of
the slices can all affect levels of browning.
In general, fresher breads have more moisture and brown slower than breads that are a bit drier and are closer to their expiration date. Room temperature bread will brown quicker than refrigerated or frozen bread. And, thin, light textured breads brown quicker than densely textured, thick sliced breads.
The buttons do not light up when I press bagel, defrost or reheat. What am I doing wrong? Ensure that the lever is pushed down before selecting
a mode.
I noticed that only half of the heating elements inside the toaster are working when I toast my
bagel. Is this normal? Yes. When using the Bagel mode only the inside heating elements are operating. This ensures that your bagel or English muffin is toasting on the cut side without overbrowning on the other side.
