Cuisinart Cool Touch CPT-20, Instruction And Recipe Booklet

5

We recommend that thick slices be kept to a
maximum of 1-1/4".

Thick sliced Italian or Portuguese loaves 
normally require a lighter shade control 
setting than other thick sliced breads.

Long Slices of Bread: 

If your bread slice is so long that a toaster
slot can only accommodate a single slice, we
suggest that you set the browning control to
a lighter setting than you normally would.

Croissants:

Croissants should not be more than 5" long.
Slice in half horizontally. Use a light to 
medium setting for toasting. 

Frozen Breads

The following breads and pastries should 
be defrosted and warmed using the Defrost
button:

Frozen Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast
and Bagels:

Press the Defrost button when defrosting and
toasting waffles, pancakes, french toast and
bagel halves. For best results, use a few
toasting cycles at a low setting. A longer
toasting time can result in waffles, pancakes
or french toast that are toasted on the 
outside but cool or soggy on the inside.

Tips:

Never force foods into the Toasting Slot.
Foods should fit freely between the guard
wires.

Do not place buttered breads or frosted
pastries in the toaster, as this could 
create a fire hazard.

Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices
of uneven thickness.

Never insert hard objects into the 
toasting slot.

After use, unplug your toaster from the 
electrical outlet.

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE 

Always allow the toaster to cool completely
before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the 

electrical outlet.

wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth
and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing
agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before
cleaning.

Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and
replace. Never operate the toaster without
the Crumb Tray in place.
