Tips and Troubleshooting
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on setting 3.
The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may
require setting 4, and if frozen, setting 5.
• 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 extends toasting time to allow most bagels to toast in
one cycle. 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 setting 6, if a darker shade is desired, adjust
shade selector to setting 2 or 3 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.
• Thick 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. 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 or result
in risk of fire or electrical shock.
