CANCEL button will illuminate. Toasting can be stopped at any time by pressing

CANCEL.

Troubleshooting Helpful Hints

• This toaster is designed to heat faster than conventional toasters. We

recommend that you start at a lower browning level than you normally

would use and adjust as needed.

• Wheat and whole grain breads tend to need longer toasting time, which can

be achieved by setting a slightly darker browning level.

• Toasting frozen foods usually requires a darker browning level.

• Factors such as grain type, thickness of food item or moisture, sugar and

starch content can aect how the food will toast. When in doubt, start on a

low browning level and work to a darker setting as needed.
