CONVENIENCE FOOD TOASTING
any varieties of packaged convenience food available today, both frozen
and non-frozen (shelf pastry). Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary,
it is difficult to recommend exact adjustable browning knob settings. However,
after a little experimentation you will discover the best setting for your needs.
You may also wish to refer to the heating instructions on convenience food
packaging.
PASTRY
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the package
does not have instructions, position the adjustable browning knob to medium,
between (3) and (4). Some pastries may require a second toasting cycle.
NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-type frosting
or open fillings.
NON-FROZEN SHELF PASTRY
Turn the adjustable browning knob to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience foods,
it may be necessary to adjust the adjustable browning knob to a higher setting
and a longer toasting cycle.
REMOVING LODGED FOODS
1. Use the high-lift lever to make it easier to remove smaller toasted items.
2. If, after toasting, a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged
in any of the toasting slots, unplug the Toaster and allow it to cool.
3. Hold the toasting lever down. Turn the Toaster upside down and shake the food loose.
IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because
that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
IMPORTANT POINTS
• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting
slot(s).
• For best results, clean the crumb tray frequently.
• Different breads require different color settings. Turn the adjustable browning
knob to STOP button at any time to check toast color.
• Do not block top opening. Do not place any object over the top opening.
• Do not toast buttered bread or buttered pita bread. elted butter will cause fire.
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness
and freshness.
• Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit
loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they should be toasted
on the lighter settings.
• Never immerse Toaster, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may
damage
the heating element or cause injury.
