Use and Care Guide

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 3–6
setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may
require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels,
made locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels
purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. A second,
shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired
browness. Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting
cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one
cycle on the darkest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust
shade selector to a lighter setting and toast for a second cycle.
Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a
knife toast more evenly than English muffins split with a fork.
• Some foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If food
becomes jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off at the
end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let cool. Use a
wooden utensil to remove food.
• When toasting only one slice, the bread may be placed in any
slot of the toaster. When toasting a single slice, you may notice
variations in bread color from side to side.
