TIPS FOR IDEAL TOASTING RESULTS

Different types of bread have varying moisture content. Therefore, thesame toast darkness setting can produce different results.
For bread that is slightly dry, use a lower toast darkness setting,
For fresh bread or whole grain bread, use a higher toast darkness setting,
Bread with an irregular surface requires a higher toast darkness setting,
Thick bread slices need more time for toasting; it may even be necessary to toast the bread a second time.
When toasting raisin bread, remove all raisins from the surface, since otherwise they could burn.
If you toast only one slice, please select a low toast darkness setting,
If you toast several slices one after the other, the bread will be somewhat darker at the same toast darkness setting,
