Toasting Notes:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Moisture levels
differ from one bread to another, resulting in varying toasting times.
• For slightly dry bread, set the Light/Dark Selector to a low number.
• For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, set the Light/Dark Selector
to a higher number.
• Breadswithunevensurfaces(e.g.,Englishmufns)requirea
higher setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (e.g., Bagels) will require longer
 toastingtimes,sometimessignicantlylonger,sincemoremoisture
must be evaporated from the bread before toasting occurs.
• Very thick pieces may require two toasting cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins
or fruit pieces from the surface of the bread before placing it into
the Toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the Toaster
or sticking to the Guard Wire in the Toaster Slot.
• To toast a single slice of bread, set the Light/Dark Selector to a
low number.
Reheat Button:
1. Insert one or two slices of bread.
2. Press the Bread Carriage Lever down until it locks into position.
3. Press the Reheat Button and the red LED will illuminate next to the
Reheat Button.
