change settings?

The manual is very unclear about how to change the setting, for example, if I want the sandwich setting, do I press the menu button 4 times, 8 times for dough, 9 times for french, as those are the numbers listed beside them on the menu, but there is no number that comes up on the display screen, nor is there anything that lights up beside the desired setting. How do I know if I have the setting I want?
