3. OPERATION

• Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is correctly placed and that there is nothing inside the toaster slots. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
• Insert the slice(s) of bread inside the device.
• Set the toasting level.

Turn the toasting-control knob to select the toasting level of your toast:

Number on the toaster	Toasting level
1-2	Low
3-4	Medium
5-6	High

Toasting bread

• For slightly dry bread, use a low setting.
• For fresh or whole-wheat bread, use a high setting.
• Bread with uneven surfaces (such as muffins) will require a higher toasting setting.
• Thick slices of bread (including bagels or baguettes and muffins) will take longer to toast, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated for the bread to be toasted. Very thick slices may require two toasting cycles.
• When toasting bread with raisins or with other fruits, remove any loose raisins from the surface of the bread before putting it into the toaster. This will prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster.
• Before toasting bagels or baguettes, slice each one into two equal halves.

Toasting a single slice

For toasting a single slice of bread, set the toasting knob to a lower setting than you normally would. The device is designed to heat two slices of bread. By lowering the heat level for a single slice, you will not over-toast it until you get used to the device.

Frozen waffles, pancakes, baguettes and frozen bagels

They should be cooked using the Defrost button.

Pastries

Be careful when toasting pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry is toasted. Do not leave pastries unattended while toasting.
