Magic Chef MCST2ST instruction manual Before Use, Operating Instructions, Toasting Notes

BEFORE USE

Carefully unpack the toaster and remove all packaging materials. Select a flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface to place the toaster. Do not immerse the toaster in water or other liquid. To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during packaging, clean the surface with damp cloth and remove any stickers (except stickers for safety, caution, or warnings). Before toasting the first slice, the toaster should be heated once or twice in the highest heating temperature without any food in the slots.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

Toaster setting must be adjusted based on the thickness, freshness, and texture of the bread or bagel; dark coarse bread may require longer toasting than drier bread.

TOASTING NOTES

Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread; moisture levels differ from one bread to another, which can result in varying toasting times. Please reference the following guideline before using the toaster.

-For slightly dry bread, use a lower light/dark setting than normal.

-For fresh bread or whole wheat, use a higher setting than normal.

-Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher light/dark setting.

-Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur.

-Very thick pieces may require two cycles.

-When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wire in the slot.

-Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

NOTE: During toasting cycle, the user may cancel the cycle by pressing the ‘Cancel’ button at anytime.
