to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the "Cancel" button.
After use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.
Some notes on browning:
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore, differ-
ences 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.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require
a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels) will take longer to toast, some-
times significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc.
from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help
prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires
in the slot.
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

• Single Slice Toasting:
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a lighter
setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the whole
toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single slice, you
won't overtoast.
• Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Frozen Bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost
function. Select your preferred browning shade. Press carriage lever and then
select Defrost. For example, when toasting a frozen bagel, select the brown-
ing level, press carriage lever, then Bagel button and Defrost.
• Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can
become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned.
Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.
Tips:
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the
guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create a
fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness.
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.
Bagel Button
The bagel feature adds extra time to the toasting cycle to allow for
thicker breads.
1. Insert slice(s) of bread or halved bagels.
Be sure that carriage is in the up position.
2. Set the Browning control.
3. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.
4. Press the "Bagel" button. Red LED indicates feature is activated.
To stop 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 your toaster from the electrical outlet.
