• After trying out the toaster a few times you will quickly get to know the right setting for each type of bread.

• For fresh bread, very fresh teacakes, English muffins and frozen bread, use a higher setting as they take slightly longer to toast.
  For some types of brown bread E.g. Wholemeal bread, use a slightly higher setting.

• When the toaster is hot, the bread toasts more quickly and may need adjusting to a lower setting.
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, they must be of the same size, type and thickness otherwise, they will brown unevenly.

Remember, this will need to be altered to suit your own taste and according to :
- The freshness and texture of the bread - For bread older than one or two days, use a lower number setting as it will toast more quickly.
