Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room
temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the medi-
um setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerat-
ed may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
• The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels,
made locally, will have a higher moisture content than bagels
purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel
setting only energizes the outside wall heating elements. A sec-
ond, shorter toasting cycle may be needed to reach desired
browness. Fresh bagels made locally may require two toasting
cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may
require more than one toasting cycle. After toasting for one
cycle on the darkest setting, if a darker shade is desired,
adjust shade selector to a lighter setting and toast for a sec-
ond cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning. English
muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than English
muffins split with a fork.
• Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after toasting
one cycle. The electronic controls of this toaster allow toast-
ing batch after batch, with no waiting for the thermostat to
reset.
• Thick foods may become wedged in the toaster slot. If food
becomes jammed, the toaster will automatically shut off at
the end of the toasting cycle. Unplug the toaster and let cool.
Use a wooden utensil to remove food.
• 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.

Cleaning
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should be
cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug toaster and let cool.
2. Slide open crumb tray, discard crumbs,
and wipe tray with clean cloth. Replace
crumb tray.
3. Wipe outside of toaster with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that
may scratch the surface of the toaster.
