Hi. no, we got a brand neew one for Christmas by quazenar  . the top knob
clicks and goes from off, toast, bagel, bake, broil then warm.
nothing needed there, the next knob for temperature so we marked some and
the bottom one for how you like your toast with light ahll the way to the
left, so for us, no marking there either, so, you set how you want your
toast, push the button on the bottom right and off it goes.
it has a removable tray that pulls out in front for cleaning. I wasn't going
to mention it, as it doesn't grill, but decided to anyway. we really like
it.
