Achieving your preferred toast color with the BELLA 17626 Long Slot Toaster is straightforward. To adjust the browning level: 1. Before you begin toasting, use the browning control dial to select your desired toast color. The dial offers seven settings, ranging from light to dark. A setting of "4" generally produces golden-brown toast. 2. Once the browning level is set, lower the toasting lever until it clicks into place. The toaster's automatic centering guides will ensure even toasting. 3. Ensure the toaster is plugged into a standard 120V AC outlet for the lever to lock. 4. It's best not to change the browning setting mid-cycle. If you want a different toast color, press the CANCEL button (if illuminated) to stop the toasting. Adjust the browning dial and start a new cycle. 5. Lower the lever again and toast until you reach your ideal toast color. Remember, for the best results, always adjust the browning control before starting the toasting cycle. If needed, cancel the current cycle, adjust the setting, and restart toasting.
