How to Use Toast and Bagel Settings (cont.) Toasting Tips • When toasting only two slices of bread, place bread in center of toasting area on low rack position to get even toasting on top and bottom. • To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen pastries, place oven rack in the low rack position. • Select a color lighter than medium and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use baking pan. • When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door. The moisture will slowly escape from the enclosed oven. • The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will affect toast color. For example, toasting 4 slices of bread will require a darker toast color setting than 2 slices of bread. Adjust the timer based on desired color and number of slices. • If you are not satisfied with the color balance between the two sides of your food in the recommended rack position, select a different rack position. 6
