TIPS AND HINTS

Notes on Browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in
varying toasting times.
• For lighter, airier, or slightly dry breads, use a lower setting than
normal.
• For very fresh bread, use the Whole Wheat setting.
• For breads with uneven surfaces, similar to English muffins or
crumpets, use the English Muffin setting.
• For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning
setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins,
etc., from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster.
This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or
sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves.
Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels
Use the Defrost function to defrost, and then toast these items.
Simply insert the frozen item, select desired function, select Defrost,
select desired browning setting (1–7) and then press down the bar
to start.
For Best Results
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely
between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create
a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven
thickness.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean,
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb
tray in place.
5. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, unplug the
toaster, turn it upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard
or sharp instruments into the slots, as this could damage the toaster
and cause a safety hazard.
6. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord
storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
