differences 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, sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two

Single Slice Toasting:

be the date of manufacture. If your toaster should prove to be defective
within the warranty period, we will repair or replace it at our option,
