FUNCTIONS Bread functions are designed to toast, or defrost (in conjunction with the DEFROST setting) various types of bread based on their unique properties. Some breads require more or less time due to density, sugar content, and other factors. The WHITE function is designed for soft, white sandwich breads. These breads are made mostly of unrefined white flour, more commonly known as the sliced, packaged varieties found in the supermarket bread aisle, labeled as country or farmhouse white. The BAGEL function is designed to toast bagels to perfection by reducing heat on one side of the toasting slot. This toasts the cut side of the bagel slightly more than the other side. A directional icon located on the top of the toaster shows you the correct way to insert your bagel. (The cut side should always face away from center of the pair of toasting slots.) The GRAIN function is designed for unrefined, nutrient-dense breads made from 100%, or mostly whole grains, with varieties such as whole wheat, sprouted whole grains, rye, oat, flax, etc. The ENGLISH MUFFIN function adds extra time to the toasting cycle to allow for a more dense bread type. The WAFFLE function is designed for waffles. The default setting is paired with the DEFROST function to defrost and then toast frozen waffles. The SWEET function is designed for breads with a higher sugar content (naturally occurring or added), such as raisin-cinnamon bread, fruit and nut bread, potato bread, some enriched breads (e.g., brioche, challah), etc. The GLUTEN-FREE function is designed for most types of gluten-free bread. NOTE: The GLUTEN-FREE function does not remove the gluten from your bread. Defrost The DEFROST function is a longer cycle designed to first defrost and then toast the bread to the desired browning shade. LED ring around button will illuminate when selected. Single Slice The SINGLE SLICE Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side to side. LED ring around button will illuminate when selected. Cancel The CANCEL function will stop the toasting process and automatically lift the bread. TIPS AND HINTS Notes on Browning Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in varying toasting times. • For lighter, airier, or slightly dry breads, use a lower setting than normal. • For very fresh bread, use the Grain setting. • For breads with uneven surfaces, similar to English muffins or crumpets, use the English Muffin setting. • For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle. • When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc., from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slots. • Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves. Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels Use the Defrost function to defrost, and then toast these items. 6
