Helpful hints Differences in moisture levels from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times and browning levels. Below are some general recommendations : Slightly dry bread should be toasted on a lower setting. Very fresh bread or whole wheat bread should be toasted on a slightly darker setting. Breads with uneven surfaces, such as English muffins, may require a darker setting. When toasting items with fruit, such as raisin bread or tea-cakes, remove any loose fruit before toasting (raisins may fall into the appliance and create a fire hazard). When toasting bagels, slice the bagel into two equal halves before toasting. If you are toasting one slice of bread, set the browning control at a lower setting. We do not recommend warming or toasting sugar coated or filled items such as toaster pastries - in such cases always set the browning control to the lowest setting. Select browning level, choose one of the 8 positions depending on the type, freshness and the thickness of the bread - (fig 3). Lower the control lever until it locks into position - (fig 4). The bread slices are automatically centered and the toasting begins. The control lever can only be locked in the lower position when the toaster is plugged in. Any bread protruding out of the slots will not be toasted. Never leave the toaster unattended during use. We do not recommend toasting sugar coated bread, use caution when toasting sugar coated or filled items (such as toaster pastries) Always set browning control to lowest setting. Before toasting, be sure that the toaster is not under cabinets or other flammable materials such as curtains. Reduce the browning level if you are toasting only one slice. For best results, always toast two slices of bread. The toaster automatically stops at the end of the toasting cycle, the control lever lifts up and the slices of bread pop up - (fig 5).
