Tips and Troubleshooting

Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room- temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the medium setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.

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 only energizes the inside heating elements. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness. 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 the darkest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade selector to a lighter setting and toast for a second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.

When toasting only one slice, the bread may be placed in any slot of the toaster. When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to side.
