3. Adjust the browning control to brown the toast to your desired taste.
4. To stop toasting press the CANCEL button at any time.
5. The loading lever will rise automatically when toasting is finished. The toast can be safely removed.
6. If the toast is not dark enough, you can toast the bread again. Adjust the browning control to a higher setting and replace the toast. Ensure the toast does not burn while re-toasting

BROWNING CONTROL

The browning control enables adjustment of toasting time and has the following settings:
