Toasting Tips
- Toasting is a combination of drying andcooking the bread and, because moisturelevels differ from one bread to another,toasting times can vary.
- For slightly dry bread, use a lower settingthan normal.
- For fresh bread or whole wheat bread, usea higher setting than normal.
- Bread which has a very uneven surface willrequire a higher setting.
- Thicker cut pieces of bread (includingcrumpets) will take longer to toast—sometimes significantly longer. This isbecause more moisture must be evaporatedfrom the bread before toasting can occur.Very thick pieces of bread may require twotoasting cycles.
- Ensure muffins or bagels are cut into evenhalves and fit freely into the bread slot. Donot force them into the toaster.
- When toasting raisin or other fruit breads,remove any loose raisins or fruit from thesurface of the bread before putting it into yourtoaster. This will help prevent fruit piecesfrom falling into your toaster or sticking to theguard wires in the toasting slot.
- If toasting 1 slice or 2 slices, it isrecommended that you use a lowerbrowning setting to achieve your requiredresult and to prevent burning.
- If your bread jams in the toaster, switchthe power off, remove the plug from thepower outlet and ease the bread out of thetoaster.
WARNING: Never attempt to extract jammed toast, muffins, bagels or crumpets with a knife or any other metal object, as contact with the live element may cause electrocution.

To clean the toaster exterior
Wipe exterior with a slightly dampened cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use metal scourers or abrasives as this may scratch the exterior surface.
Removable crumb tray

toaster.
Important: Clean the crumb tray regularly. Do not allow crumbs to accumulate, as they may cause a potential fire hazard.
