Helpful Tips - Oster 6544 Instruction Manual

Inserting the food into the bread slots and toasting
Now you are ready to insert your food into the bread slots. Keep the following tips in mind
when inserting your food:
• Most types of breads and pastries can be toasted, thickly sliced breads, etc. Slices
should not, however, be so thick as to jam the bread slots.
• When toasting two slices at a time, the slices should be of equal size and freshness to
ensure even toasting.
• When toasting two slices of bread, place one slice in the center of each bread slot.
• When toasting one slice of bread, place the slice in the center of either bread slot.
• When toasting four slices of bread at a time (model 6545 only), the slices should be of
equal size and freshness to ensure even toasting.
After you insert the food into the bread slots:
1. Select the desired darkness setting by turning the Lighter/Darker knob.
2. Press the Bread Carriage Lever down until it locks.
The Auto-Adjusting Bread Guides will automatically center the food for even browning.
Tip: Your toaster has been designed for optimum toast balance. Some elements
on the inside of the toaster may glow more brightly than others when in use. This
is part of normal toaster operation.
After the desired level of darkness has been reached, the food will pop up
automatically. The Bread Carriage Lever will return to its original position and the
indicator lights will turn off.
3. Carefully remove the toasted food from the bread slots.
WARNING: Toasted food can be very hot. Handle with care.
Tip: To remove food jammed in the bread slots, unplug the toaster and remove the
food once the toaster has cooled down.
WARNING: Never insert your fingers or metallic utensils into the bread slots.
