•Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on setting 6, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade selector to setting 2 or 3 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.

•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.

•Thick foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If food becomes jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off at the end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let cool. Use a wooden utensil to remove food.

•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.

•Setting 6 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade is desired, reset at setting 3, watch closely and toast for a sec- ond cycle.

•The bread lifter will not latch down unless the toaster is plugged in.
