Tips and Troubleshooting

• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread.

Room-temperature bread may toast to a medium color

on the medium setting. The same type of bread that has

been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a

• 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 inside heating elements.

A second, 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 second cycle. Watch closely to avoid overbrowning.

English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than

English muffins split with a fork.

• Some 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.
