TOASTING TIPS

Here are a few tips to help get the best out of your toaster.

• Different breads will toast at different rates, wholemeal bread takes longer than white bread, fresh bread will take longer than day old bread. Remember to adjust your browning control to allow for your particular type of bread.
• After the first round of toast, the elements and toaster body will be heated up, subsequent rounds will take less time to toast.
• At any time during the toasting cycle you can lift the toasting lever and check the progress of the toasting.
• Use the bagel setting to toast burger buns, bagels, muffins or tea cakes, this setting toasts one side whilst gently warming the other.
• The thickest slice of bread that will fit in your toaster is 36mm thick. Forcing bread which is too thick or too long into the slots will be difficult to eject once toasted.
• You may find it easier to use a 'sandwich cage' to toast smaller items. Inserting and removing items will be easier (sold separately).
• When hand cutting a fresh loaf, cut the slices as evenly as possible. Uneven slices will toast unevenly.
• Keep elements free from breadcrumbs and broken pieces of bread. If left these may burn out the elements. With the toaster unplugged use a soft brush to clean inside your toaster, do not use a knife!
• To reheat recently made toast set the browning control to 1.
• Cancel toasting manually at any time by pressing the cancel button on the browning control knob.
