Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.

• 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.
• Bread with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread 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 raisins or other fruit pieces of bread, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the surface of the bread before putting them 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, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

Bagel button

The Bagel feature adds extra time to the Toasting cycle. You may also use the bagel button for English muffins and other thick breads.

3. Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. Press the Bagel button to start. Blue LED indicates the feature is activated. To stop the cycle When the Bagel cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Cancel button to interrupt. After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.

Defrost button
The Defrost button is designed to first defrost and then toast the bread, which extends the Toasting cycle slightly.

3. Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.

If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Cancel button to interrupt. After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleaning agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb tray in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard or sharp instruments into the slots, as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
