pan (or any other accessory
or container) directly on the
lower heating element.

4. Push down Toast Lever. The Indicator
Light will come on.

Toasting Tips
• To toast bagels, place oven rack in the low position and
place bagels cut side facing down. This will toast the cut
side more than the outside of the bagel.
• To toast English muffins, place oven rack in the low position
and place English muffins with the split side facing down.
Set Toast Color Dial to the dark setting.
• To toast frozen pastry or waffles, place oven rack in the high
position. Select a light color and toast directly on the oven
rack. If pastry has a glaze of frosting, use baking pan.
• To toast regular toaster pastries, place oven rack in the
high position. Set Toast Color Dial to Light and toast
directly on the oven rack. If the pastry has a glaze or frosting,
place the pastries on the baking pan.
• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door.
A toaster oven is enclosed so the moisture is slow to escape.
• When the Toast Lever pops up at the end of the cycle,
remove toast immediately or the heat remaining in the
toaster oven will continue to toast and dry out your toast.
• The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will
affect toast color. Adjust the Toast Color Dial to achieve the
desired color.
