How to Toast
• When toasting only two slices of bread,
place bread in center of toasting area on
middle rack position to get even toasting
on top and bottom.
• For best results, always position bread,
bagels, etc., within toasting area.
• To toast bagels, English muffins, and
waffles, place oven rack in MIDDLE RACK
POSITION and place food cut/split side facing up. This will toast the
cut/split side more than the outside food. Set Toast/Timer and OFF
to desired setting.
• To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen pastries, place oven
rack in the MIDDLE RACK POSITION. Select a color lighter than
Medium and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or
frosting, use baking pan.

(cont.)
• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door. The
moisture will slowly escape from the enclosed oven.
• The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will affect
toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of bread will require a
darker toast color setting than 2 slices of bread. Adjust the Toast/
Timer and OFF based on desired color and number of slices.
• If you are not satisfied with the color balance between the two
sides of your food in the recommended rack position, select a
different rack position.
