Setting Color 1-2 light 2-4 medium 4-5 dark
Some notes on browning:
Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking of the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.
• If bread is slightly dry, 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 longer toasting time.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take lon­ger to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must evaporate from the bread before toasting can occur. Very
thick (1-1/2'' or more) pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose rai-
sins, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent them from falling to the bottom or sticking to the guard wires in the slot.
Notes on specialty uses:
The following breads and pastries should be warmed by using sev­eral toasting cycles at the light setting, depending on how cold the bread is: Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling of toaster pastries can become quite hot long before the surface of the pastry
becomes browned. A low setting (1-2) should be sufficient. Never
leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming. Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast:
For best results, use a few toasting cycles at a low setting (2 or 3).
A longer toasting time can result in items that are toasted on the outside but cool or soggy on the inside. Frozen bagels: The slot of the Heat Surround™ can accommodate an unsliced frozen bagel. Depending on the size of the bagel, several toasting cycles on settings 2-4 will give best results.
3. Begin toasting.
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position. The heaters will position themselves based on the thickness of the bread.
4. Stop toasting.
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised automatically. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply:Press the ‘Cancel Button’ or lift the carriage lever slightly to release the bread carriage.
Tips:
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely
between the guard wires.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
3
• Never insert hard objects into the toasting slot.
After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp instruments into the slot as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toast­er.
