how to use your toaster

Our toaster brings out the best in any kind of bread.
Simply follow the 4 steps below.

Step One

place bread

The ultimate toast starts with the right technique.

Every loaf of bread has a top and a bottom. For best results, place each slice with the top facing out. For “mountain-shaped” bread, the “peak” is the top. For square and other bread, check which side is on top when the bread is on the shelf. If you’re toasting a single slice, place it in the center. If more than one, spread them out evenly.

If your toaster has breadcrumbs in it from previous use, they will absorb energy and prevent your bread from being properly toasted. Be sure to clean your toaster regularly for a reliably delicious toasted finish.

Step Two

add water

Before each use, pour 5 cc of water into the water inlet using the special cup.
Skip this step if using Oven Mode.

Whatever kind of bread you're toasting, and however many slices you're toasting at once, always add the same 5cc of water.

In Oven Mode, steam isn't used, so water isn't needed. Adding it can cause buildup in the boiler and lead to a malfunction.

Step Three

select mode

Each mode uses a different heating method. Read on to learn which mode is right for which kind of bread.

sandwich bread mode

This mode is ideal for everyday thin-sliced bread and English muffins. It delivers a delicious contrast between a crisp exterior and a moist interior. Adjust the timer to obtain the desired level of golden finish.

artisan bread mode

From a rustic sourdough to a flaky croissant, every bite feels fresh from the bakery. Crisping the crust just enough for that perfect bite while keeping the inside soft, airy, and full of life.

pizza mode

With higher heat from above, it melts cheese to perfection, crisps crusts just right, and makes anything with a golden, bubbling topping irresistible. Turn up the heat where it matters.

pastry mode

This mode treats pastries with the care they deserve. It warms them through, keeping layers light and flaky while giving the outside that perfect, buttery crisp. Ideal for croissants, danishes, or anything that deserves a golden finish.

oven mode

Utilizing heat without steam, this mode offers three different temperature settings just like a traditional oven. It is a great way to prepare various smaller dishes such as gratin, cookies, or even frozen foods.

Note:

  • Do not put bread higher than 2.2 inches in the toaster, as it could burn or char if too close to the heating tube.
  • With toppings or ingredients that could drip or fail, be sure to use a heatproof tray or dish.
  • Pastry Mode only heats food, with no browning. If some browning is desired, for example on burger buns, use Sandwich Bread Mode.

Sandwich Bread Mode is for everyday supermarket-bought sliced bread. Artisan Bread Mode heats at a higher temperature and is designed for bread with a higher moisture content, such as fresh bread from the bakery. To experience bread at its best, we recommend slicing the bakery bread a little thicker than usual (about 1 inch). When toasted this results in a fluffier interior and crisper exterior.

Use Pizza mode to toast bagels to crispy, chewy perfection.
Place bagels with the sliced surfaces facing up. Pizza Mode heats more strongly from above so it will crisp the sliced surfaces while the downward-facing outer crust remains light and chewy.

Wait 30 seconds after heating the pastry using Pastry Mode. The butter will settle and the pastry will regain its crispiness.

  • 01 Block cut: Fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside
  • 02 Sliced lengthwise: Crisp and crunchy on the sliced surface
  • 03 Sliced crosswise: Crispy inside and out

Step Four

set timer

Press the power button on the right side to switch the toaster on, and then turn the dial clockwise
to set the timer. After this, just wait for your delicious toast to be done.

Even if you are toasting thicker bread or more slices, you don't need to add extra time. Check the recommended times and experiment to find the timer setting that gives the results you prefer.

Why isn't more time needed for thicker bread?

The changing temperature inside the toaster is precisely measured and automatically adjusted by switching the heater on and off. This precision lets the toaster give any kind of bread the same toasted finish in the same amount of time, from thicker slices that are hard to warm up to thinner slices that warm up quickly.

Put slices in the toaster frozen and add an extra 1 or 2 minutes to the timer.

* Freezing bread preserves its flavor better than refrigerating it. We recommend freezing any bread you don’t eat on the day it was baked.
