To stop cycle
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop
the cycle before it is finished, simply push the Cancel button. After use, unplug
the toaster from the electrical outlet.
Some notes on making toast:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying 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) require a higher
toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread 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 placing into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces
from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
Bagel
This toaster reduces heat on one side of the toasting slot for bagels. This toasts the cut
side of the bagel slightly more than the other side.
An icon located on the top of the toaster shows you the right way to insert
your bagel. (The cut side should always face away from the center of the pair
of toasting slots.)
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast, and bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function. Select the
bread type and then your preferred browning shade. Press carriage lever and then
press Defrost. For example, to toast a frozen bagel, select Bagel and then the browning
level. Press the carriage lever down, and then press Defrost.
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.
