Tips and Troubleshooting
•Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room temperature bread may toast to a medium color on setting 3. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require setting 4 or 5.
•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 a longer toast time. If desired, select Frozen Bagel.
•Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may require a longer toast time. If desired, select Frozen Bread. 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.
•Setting 5 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade is desired, reset at 3, watch closely and toast for a second cycle.
