TOASTING TIPS
The Wolf Gourmet Toaster makes it
possible to perfectly toast everything from
thick slices of artisan bread to bagels,
English mufns, and gluten-free or thinly
sliced homemade bread.
• 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.
TOASTING CHART
• 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.
• 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.

Troubleshooting
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 4 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, make sure to use either the two slots on the left or the two
slots on the right and place the bagel in the toaster with cut sides facing each other.
Frozen food items get too brown.
• Some foods, i.e., Belgian wafes, 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 t in slots.
• Bread may need to be trimmed to t slots.
