SELECTING TOAST COLOR
The Color Control knob is located on the front of your Toaster.
Simply turn the arrow on the knob to the desired toast color: LIGHT
(#1) is for warming and very light toasting; DARK (#5) for dark
toasting. Turn the Color Control to the left for LIGHT toast (#1) or
to the right for DARK toast (#5). The numbers are a guide to help
you select your desired color (the higher the number, the darker the
toast). The first time you toast, it is best to position the Color Control
at the middle of the range (#3); then adjust each subsequent toasting
to your preference.
CANCEL BUTTON: At any time during the toasting process, you may
press the Cancel Button to end the toasting function and cause the
bread to pop up.

For the first use, set the Color Control to medium (#3).

Convenience Foods Toasting
Today there are many varieties of packaged convenience food available,
both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry) that can be toasted in your
Toaster.
Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to
recommend exact Toast Color Control 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 food packaging.
Pastry
For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package.
If the package does not have instructions, position the Color Control
in the middle (#3). 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
Move the Color Control to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience
foods, it may be necessary to adjust the Color Control to a darker setting
for a longer toasting cycle.
