If you desire a custom setting, select one or
more of the following:
4-6 Slice – Increases toasting time for preparing
four to six slices of toast .

cycle for bagels . Can also use this button for
English muffins and thickly sliced breads .

Adds time to the toast cycle for defrosting .

reheat without browning .
Note: To prepare one slice without overtoasting,
press the toast button and choose a lighter
browning setting than usual .
When choosing these custom settings, a red
LED light will come on above the selected
feature button(s) . You can combine as many as
three of these custom settings simultaneously to
customize your toasting cycle . The Reheat
setting can only be combined with the 4-6 Slice
setting .

beep 5 times and turn off .
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is
finished, simply press the Start/Stop button . The
toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle
and hold your browning selection in memory
until you change the selection or unplug the
unit . The browning selection will return to the
number 4 medium setting when the oven is
unplugged .
Important notes on toasting use

you can choose your custom or browning
selections .
The oven rack must be in rack position B as
indicated in the diagram on page 11 .

Helpful browning notes
Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking
the bread . Therefore, differences in denseness
and moisture level from one bread to another
can result in varying toasting times .
For slightly dry bread or thinly sliced bread, use
a lighter setting than you normally would, as it
will toast more quickly .
For very fresh bread, thickly sliced bread or
whole wheat bread, use a darker setting than
normal . Dense, moist bread may also require a
darker setting .
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as
English muffins) will require a darker toast
setting . For English muffins, we suggest you use
the Total Touch ® browning selection on the
custom settings panel and setting #6 .
Thickly cut pieces of bread (including bagels)
will take longer, since more moisture must be
evaporated from the bread before toasting
occurs . We suggest you use the Total Touch ®
browning selection which will add to the normal
toasting time . For moister breads or very thick
pieces, you may need to make the toast setting
darker than you normally would . Very thick
pieces may require two cycles .
Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two
equal halves . Select the Bagel button, which
adds the extra time needed for toasting most
bagels .
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads and
muffins, remove any loose fruit, etc . from the
surface of the bread before placing into the
oven .
This will help prevent pieces from falling and
baking onto the crumb tray .
This oven can be adjusted for four slices of
toast by pressing the 4-6 Slice button on the
custom settings control panel . To prevent
overtoasting of a single slice, select the Toast
button and set browning control to a lighter
setting than you normally would .
4-6 Slice Button
The unique 4-6 Slice feature will add the right
amount of time to toast 4-6 slices of bread at
once .
1 . Place 4 to 6 slices of bread on the center of
the oven rack, 2 to 3 slices in the front and
2 to 3 slices in the back . Close oven door .
2 . Press Toast button .
