Bread Rises Too Slowly
(a)
This complaint
may
be due
to
the
impatience
of
the user.
Actually
the toasting
cycle
from
a
cold
start
takes
less
time
than
any
toaster
previously
manufactured.
The
toasting cycle will vary with
voltage
changes,
dryness
of
bread,
or
if
toaster
is
cold
or
warm.
Under
normal
conditions
(Which
means
testing
with moderately
fresh bread
on
115
Volts
A.C.
with
Toaster
set
at
Medium) the total
toasting cycle will vary from 1-1/2 minutes when starting with
a
cold Toaster
to
less
than
1
minute
as the
Toaster warms
up.
When properly
adjusted,
it
will lower
or
raise the bread
in
approximately
9
seconds
(b)
If
Toaster
is
out of
adjustment and takes
8
to
12
seconds to raise the bread,
observe motion
of
Bread Lifter Assembly.
The
Bread Lifter Assembly should move
up
and down smoothly without excessive jerking. Check to see that Bread Lifter
Assembly moves
free
of
frame
and
adjust by bending,
if
necessary.
If
Bread
Lifter Assembly
is
free,
then slightly
turn the
screw
on
the
bottom
of
the
Center Element
(10)
counter-clockwise. This will increase
the stress on the wire
of
the
Center Element causing
its
contraction
to
effect Bread Lifter Assembly
motion
sooner.
Do not
make this adjustment unless absolutely necessary, and then
make only slight adjustment
so as
not
to
put
to
much stress
on wire of
Center
Element
.
Always
test
Toaster
first
under
normal
conditions
,
to
determine
if
customer'
s
complaint
is
justifiable and warrants an adjustment
of this
assembly.

Toast Not
of
Uniform Color
-
The individual elements are
measured
for resistance,
graded and matched
at
the factory,
so as to
obtain substantially uniform toasting
on
all of the four faces
comprising the
two slices of
bread
in the
Toaster
at any one
time.
It
is
clear that
all four of
these surfaces should
be of
uniform dryness.
The
Center Element
has
associated with itself slightly more heat capacity than the end
elements,
so
that when
Toaster
is
cold,
the
inside surfaces
(those
facing Center
Element)
will
come
out
slightly
lighter
than
other
two
surfaces.
However,
with
perfectly matched elements and uniform condition
of
bread surface dryness,
there
should be
no
great difference
in
color
as
Toaster heats
up.
Because of all the
variable
factors,
in
addition
to the two
mentioned,
do not
assume that the elements
are
mismatched unless several
sets
of
toast are made and judgment passed on the
average
result.
If
after such
test,
the inside surfaces
consistently toast lighter
or
darker than outside surfaces, replace with
a
set of
matched
elements, but only on
authorization by customer.
7.
Single Slice Toasting
-
The two
chambers
are
adequately baffled from each other
so
as to
permit toasting
of
a
single slice
if
desired. However
if
several single slices
are
toasted
in
a
row,
the empty slot becomes
so
hot that
it
cannot but unavoidably
affect the other
slot. As
a
result,
the
bread surface facing the Center Element will
come out darker.

Outside Surfaces Have Dark Vertical Streaks

The end
elements are wound
