Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the
medium 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.
The bagel setting only energizes the outside wall heating
elements. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed
to reach desired brownness. 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.
• Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after toast-
ing one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow
toasting batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermo-
stat to reset.
• To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots,
disconnect from outlet and allow toaster to cool. Turn
toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other
utensil that could damage heating element and therefore
result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
• 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.
