Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore, differences
in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher
toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly
longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting
can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the
surface of the bread before putting into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit
pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to the guide wires in the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

• Single slice toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a lighter setting
than you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting
chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single slice, you won't
overtoast.
• Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and frozen bagels
These breads and pastries should be warmed using the Defrost button. Select
preferred browning shade, push lever down and select Defrost. For example,
when toasting a frozen bagel, select the browning shade, press carriage lever
down, and press Defrost and Bagel buttons.
• Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot long
before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries
unattended while toasting or warming.
Tips
• 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 bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
