User manual CUISINART CMT-400

[. . . ] Do not use this toaster for other than intended use. Oversize foods, metal foil packages or utensils must not be inserted in the toaster, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock. A fire may occur if the toaster is covered with or touching flammable materials, such as curtains, draperies or walls, when in operation. Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged into electrical outlet. [. . . ] Very thick pieces may require two cycles. · When toasting raisin or other fruit breads, remove any loose raisins, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot. · Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves. Single Slice Toasting: If you are toasting a single slice of bread, place the bread in the slot marked with icon (see diagram A. ) and set the heat selector to a lighter setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single slice, you won't overtoast. Diagram A. Toaster pastries: Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming. To Begin Toasting: Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position. To Stop Toasting: When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply lift carriage lever to interrupt. Tips: · Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires. · Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard. · Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven thickness. · After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet. 4 Reheat Function The reheat feature allows you to reheat bread without browning or toasting. Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in the up position. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position. To stop cycle: When the reheat cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply lift carriage lever to interrupt. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
