the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture levels 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, sometimes 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 placing it into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot. • Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves. To Toast 1. Insert slice(s) of bread. Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the carriage is in the Up position. 2. S et the Shade Control. Turn Shade Control knob to desired setting from light to dark. 3. P ress down carriage control lever. 6 4. Note: The carriage control lever will not stay down unless the toaster is plugged in. 5. To stop toasting: When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply turn the Shade Control knob counterclockwise to cancel. Do not use carriage control lever to cancel toasting. Single-Slice Toasting If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the Shade Control 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. Defrost Button The Defrost button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the toasting cycle. The following breads and pastries should be warmed using the Defrost button: frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and frozen bagels. 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. 1. Insert slice(s) of bread, frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast or frozen bagels. Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in the Up position. 7
