1. Insert slice(s) of bread
2. Set the browning control Turn the knob to select desired toast shade: Browning control setting Shade 1-2 Light 3-5 Medium 6-7 Dark Some notes on browning Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore, to achieve the same shade, the bread different in moisture level needs varying toasting time. • 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 or baguettes and English muffins) 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 bread or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the surface of the bread before putting into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking to the guide wires in the slot. • Before toasting bagels/baguettes, slice each bagel/baguette into two equal halves. Single slice toasting If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the browning knob 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 over toast.
