NUMBER SETTING 1-7 3-7 4-7 3-7 1-3 Do not heat in toaster. Use Toaster Oven broiler. If you must use toaster, ALWAYS set to lowest shade setting. NEVER heat cracked, broken, or warped pastries and NEVER leave unattended. Tips and Troubleshooting • Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Roomtemperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 3-6 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. A second, shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired browness. 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. • Some 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. 6 840228600 ENv04.indd 6 5/2/13 10:22 AM
