How to Toast
1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Place bread or bagel in slots. If toasting bagels or English
muffins, place in slots with cut sides facing in, towards
center of toaster. Select toast shade and press down
bread lifter.
3. At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up
automatically. Lift up on bread lifter to reach small bread.
4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or
push the cancel button (on some models).
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.
Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting cycles.

Tips and Troubleshooting
• 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 toasting
one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow toasting
batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermostat 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. 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.
• Setting 6 is the darkest shade of toast color. If a darker shade
is desired, reset at setting 3, watch closely, and toast for a
second cycle.
• The bread lifter will not latch down unless the toaster is
plugged in.
