Let me tell you how I make toast with euro-pro TO289N

All you have to do is remove the crumb tray and the toast browns on both sides. 450 degrees,dial on toast and lowest dial just past dark, stand and watch till toast is the right color and shut off oven. put crumb tray back in oven. So far so good . I Have not tried any thing else yet but I saw by most reviews customers were not happy about its toasting abilities. This procedure is probably not recommended, but this is how I will toast my bread as long as its not going to make crumbs that will touch the heating element.
