Toasting - Hints & Tips
F
For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
For very fresh or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
Breads with very uneven surfaces will require a higher toast setting.
Thick 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 begin. Very thick pieces may even require 2 cycles.
Sweet bread products e.g. tea cakes, fruit loaf etc. brown more quickly than ordinary
bread, so it is best to use a lower setting.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins etc. from the
surface of the bread before toasting. This will help to prevent fruit pieces from falling
into the toaster or sticking to the guide wires in the slot.
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning setting at a lower level
than normal. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber, so by
lowering the heat for a single slice, you will not over toast.
It is possible to use the toaster for toaster pastries. You should only use pastries
which are specifically designed for use with a toaster, and you should always follow
the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the pastry. Take extra care when
toasting pastries. The filling can become very hot long before the surface of the
pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or
warming.
G
Crumb Trays
The toaster is equipped with two removable crumb trays to collect crumbs during
toasting. We recommend that the crumb trays are removed and emptied on a regular
basis.
To empty, locate the trays which are fitted in the base of the toaster. They can be
accessed from the rear of the toaster.
Pull the black cover on each tray, and the tray(s) will slide out. Discard the crumbs
and replace by sliding back into position. Never operate the toaster without the
crumb tray in place.
