• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room-

temperature bread may toast to a medium color on the 1–7

setting. The same type of bread that has been refrigerated 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 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 highest setting, if a darker shade is desired, adjust shade

selector to a lower 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.

• 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.

w WARNING Your toaster should be cleaned regularly for best performance and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire hazard.
