Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore, differences
in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher
toast setting.

• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, some-
times significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the
surface of the bread before putting into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit
pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to the guide wires in the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.
• Single slice toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a
lighter setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed to
heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat
for a single slice, you won't overtoast.
• Frozen waffles, pancakes, french toast and frozen bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function.
Select Defrost, and then your preferred browning shade. For example, when
toasting a frozen bagel, select Defrost, the browning level, and then Bagel.
• Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before
the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries
unattended while toasting or warming.
Tips
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the guide
wires.
• Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings in the toaster, as
this could create a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
