USING THE TOASTER Simple start-to-finish toasting Simple start-to-finish toasting: Select any, or all, of the three special toasting functions (defrost, bagel, or keep warm), and the Toaster will automatically move from one step to the next without any additional effort on your part. Toasting 1 Select your desired shade by turning the shade control knob to the right for darker toasting or to the left for lighter toasting. To reheat toast that has cooled, turn the shade control knob to the far left of the shade control settings. NOTE: The age, type, and moisture level of different breads may require different shade settings. For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and will require a lighter setting. 2 Insert bread or other food to be toasted into the slot(s). NOTE: For even toasting, toast only one bread type and thickness at a time. If toasting bagels, be sure to press the Bagel button. See "Toasting Bagels." 3 Press down on lift lever to start the toasting cycle. If Keep Warm isn't selected, the toast will rise automatically at the end of the cycle and the Toaster will turn off. NOTE: To activate the Keep Warm function, press down on the lift lever, then press the KEEP WARM button. 4 To cancel toasting at any time, press CANCEL. The Toaster will raise the toast and turn off. TIP: For smaller items, lift up on the lift lever to raise toast above the top of the Toaster. 8
