When toasting only two slices of bread, place bread in middle of oven rack to get even toasting on top and bottom.

To toast bagels, English muffins, and waffles place oven rack in HIGH RACK POSITION and place food cut/split side facing up. This will toast the cut/split side more than the outside food. Set Timer to desired setting.

To toast regular toaster pastries, or frozen pastry place oven rack in the MIDDLE RACK POSITION. Select a light color and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use baking pan.

When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door. The moisture will slowly escape from the enclosed oven.

The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will affect toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of bread will require a darker toast color setting than 2 slices of bread.

Adjust the Timer based on desired color and number of slices.

If you are not satisfied with the color balance between the two sides of your food in the recommended rack position, select a different

rack position.
