Toaster Operation

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not operate toaster unattended. Unplug after use.

NOTE: Bread lifter will not latch down unless toaster is plugged in.

HOW TO USE TOASTER

1. Select toasting shade. Use shade

selector to manage toast browning. Turn the knob left or right to the desired number: the lower the number, the lighter the toast; the higher the number, the darker the toast. Many households nd a preferred shade that works for most family members most of the time, but the shade can also be customized at each toasting if desired.

2. Select toasting setting by pressing the

desired button. See page 7 for setting button descriptions. Once selected, the setting will remain active for 3 minutes after the cycle is completed and then will revert back to the normal toast setting.

3. Gently press bread lifter down and

hold for 1 second to ensure positive latching. NOTE: This toaster uses a unique latching system which requires 1 second for the electronics to engage the lifter.

HOW TO USE KEEP WARM SETTING

1. Place bread in the toaster, press bread

lifter down, and select Keep Warm.

2. When activated, Keep Warm will hold

the bread in the toaster for up to 3 minutes, allowing the toast cycle to gently keep the toast warm.

3. At the end of the toast cycle, the toaster

will chime 3 times and the Keep Warm setting indicator light will begin ashing to indicate it is active.

4. At 1-minute increments, the toaster will

chime once as a courtesy notication.

5. After 3 minutes, the toaster will “pop”

up the toast and sound 3 chimes to indicate the cycle is complete.

NOTE: Users may select any combination of buttons to use with the Keep Warm setting. For example, Keep Warm can be used in combination with Bagel and/or Frozen. To stop Keep Warm at any time and retrieve the toast, select Cancel.

4. After the toast cycle ends, remove

toasted item.

TOASTING TIPS

The Wolf Gourmet Toaster makes it possible to perfectly toast everything from thick slices of artisan bread to bagels, English mufns, and gluten-free or thinly sliced homemade bread.

There is a wide variety of breads that can be toasted. Heartier dense breads will take longer to toast, while sweet fruited breads will toast faster due to their level of sugar. Fresh bread will take longer to toast than day-old bread. Adjust your toaster according to your personal preference and the type of bread you are toasting.

• Toasting is affected by bread

temperature. Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 3–5 setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.

• Moisture content also affects toasting.

Fresh bagels, made locally, 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.

• Because of their irregular surface,

English muffins may require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on the highest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust the shade selector to a lower 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.

• 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.

• On the 4-slice toaster, when toasting

one or two slices, best results are achieved by using either the left two slots or the right two slots of the toaster at the same time.

• For toasting frozen or refrigerated

bagels, select both Bagel and Frozen to ensure the bagel is toasted on one side and thoroughly warmed.

Care Recommendations

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts, causing a risk of electric shock.

The toaster should be cleaned regularly for best performance and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of re hazard.

BEFORE CLEANING

Unplug toaster and let cool.

CLEANING

Crumb Tray Wipe with a clean lint‐free cloth. Food Slots Wipe top of food slots with a clean lint‐free cloth. Toaster Body Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a clean lint‐free cloth.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners.

• To remove food that becomes lodged in the food slots, disconnect toaster from outlet

and allow it to cool. Use a non-metal utensil to loosen food from the grill wires, allowing it to fall into the crumb tray. Empty crumb tray.

Troubleshooting

Bagels, English mufﬁns, and other bread products are too light.

• The Frozen setting can be selected to add time to room-temperature, refrigerated, or

frozen bagels; English mufns; and other bread products.

Bread won’t pop up.

• Is the KEEP WARM indicator light illuminated? If so, bread will stay in the toaster for

3 minutes before it pops up. Press CANCEL to stop the cycle.

• If food is jammed, press bread lifter all the way done to the bottom. Then, press

CANCEL or manually raise bread lifter.

Setting indicator lights won’t turn off.

• Toaster will retain settings for 3 minutes to accommodate back-to-back toasting

cycles.

• To turn off, press setting button again.

One side of the bread is darker than the other.

• This toaster is optimized to evenly toast all slices. When just toasting one slice,

variations in toasting may be evident.

Bagels are toasting on only one side.

• Bagel setting is designed to toast only the cut side of the bread.

• When loading the bagel, place the bagel in the toaster with cut sides facing each other.

On 4-slice models, make sure to use either the two slots on the left or the two slots on the right.

Frozen food items get too brown.

• Some foods, i.e., Belgian wafes, have a higher sugar content and brown more easily.

The Frozen setting lengthens the toasting time to allow for defrosting. Try toasting without using the Frozen setting.

• Bread products can easily dry out in the freezer. If frozen items are in an open box or

have been frozen for a long period of time, try toasting without the Frozen setting or choose a lighter shade setting.

Tall homemade or extra-long artisan breads don’t ﬁt in slots.

• Bread may need to be trimmed to t slots.
