How To Toast; Care And Cleaning - Hamilton Beach Expert-Toast 22994 Manual

How to Toast

Before first use: New toasters may emit an odor during the first use.
This is normal and does not affect the performance. We suggest
running a cycle once without any bread.
1. Plug into outlet.
2. Place appropriate food items in slots.
3. Select type of bread and toast shade.
4. Press Bread Lifter down. Select 1 Slice
or Frozen, if desired. Program cannot be
activated unless Bread Lifter is latched down.
NOTE: Bread Lifter will not latch down
unless Toaster is plugged in.
Tips
• While toasting, heating elements do not have to glow red to be
working properly; food will still be toasting.
• Toasting is affected by temperature of the bread. Room-
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on medium
setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may
require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture content will also affect all toasting performance. Fresh
bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles. A second,
shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired brownness.

Care and Cleaning

NOTE: If Toaster is used daily, Slide-Out Crumb Tray should be
cleaned daily.
1. Unplug Toaster and let cool.

5. If toasting a bagel: Place cut sides facing
out. Push Bread Lifter down. In Bagel setting,
only outside heating elements come on.
6. Bread will pop up automatically at end
of cycle. For smaller breads like English
muffins, use Bread Lifter to lift English
muffin to remove.
NOTE: For toaster pastries (such as Pop-Tarts
Toaster—use a toaster oven. If you must use Toaster, ALWAYS set
Shade Selector Dial to setting 1. NEVER heat cracked, broken, or
warped pastries; and NEVER leave unattended.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle
on a medium setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust Shade
Selector Dial to a lighter setting and toast for a second cycle. Watch
closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife
toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.
2. Remove Slide-Out Crumb Tray, discard crumbs, and wipe Crumb
Tray with clean cloth. Replace Slide-Out Crumb Tray.
3. Wipe outside of Toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleansers that may scratch surface of Toaster.
