How to Toast

1.Plug toaster into electrical outlet.

2.Place bread in slots. Select toast shade and press down bread lifter.

3.At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up automatically. Lift up on bread lifter to reach small bread.

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.

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 outside wall 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.

Tips and Troubleshooting

•Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after toasting one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow toasting batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermostat to reset.

•To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, discon- nect 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 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.
