Hello, thank you for your inquiry. For the Oster&reg; 4‑Slice Touchscreen Toaster, place bagels with the cut sides facing the center of the toaster. This allows the cut side to toast properly while the crust warms without over-browning. If you have any more questions, please contact us using our Contact Us form on the website https://www.oster.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat so we can help you further. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9 am &ndash; 8 pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Oster Consumer Care

Hello, thank you for your inquiry. The Oster&reg; 4-Slice Touchscreen Toaster features extra-wide slots that are designed to accommodate a variety of bread types, including thicker slices and bagels. The slots are approximately 1.5 inches wide, which should be sufficient for most artisanal breads and larger bagels. If you have any more questions regarding this product, please contact us directly via our official Oster website form or via Live Chat, and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you and have a good day! Oster Consumer Care

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. To enhance the visibility of the display on your Oster 4-Slice Touchscreen Toaster, we recommend ensuring adequate lighting in the room where the toaster is located. Brighter ambient lighting can significantly improve the readability of the touchscreen controls, making them easier to see and navigate. Additionally, you may consider placing the toaster in a well-lit area or installing additional lighting fixtures near the appliance to further enhance visibility. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We're here to help. Have a great day! Oster Consumer Care.

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="3003889">
Thank you for reaching out to Oster&reg;. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. The Oster&reg; 4-Slice Touchscreen Toaster should be illuminated (please refer to the photo on our website). Once the Toast Lever returns to the up position, the indicator lights will turn off. Please note that if the toaster cycle is not started or a selection is not made within 30 seconds, the unit will return to an idle state. Also, two minutes after the last cooking cycle, the unit will return to its idle state. We hope this helps. Have a good day!
