Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves. When toasting raisin breads, fruit breads, or fruit muffins, remove any loose fruit, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guard wires in the slot. A single slice of toast requires less toasting time than two slices of bread. To prevent overtoasting of a single slice, set the browning control to a lighter setting than you normally would. Each chamber is designed for 2 slices of bread. By lowering the toasting time for a single slice, your bread won't get too brown. Helpful Browning Notes: There is a color band around the dial to select the browning setting. The browning guide is as follows: Desired Color Light Medium Dark Dial Position 1st third of color band 2nd third of color band Final third of color band Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying the bread. Therefore, differences in moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times. For slightly dry bread, use a lighter setting than you normally would. For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker setting than normal. Dense, moist breads may also require a darker setting. [. . . ] Insert slice(s) of bread: Be sure that the carriage is in the up position. Press the Start / Carriage Lever down until it locks into position. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and gently shake.
