Always follow these safety cautions when using your CUISINART CPT780 toaster to avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance:

• CAUTION: Hot surface. The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is in use.

• Because the bread can burn, do not use the toaster near or under combustible materials like curtains or under kitchen wall cabinets.

• This appliance is for domestic use only.

• If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly qualified professional to avoid danger.

• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children aged less than 8 years.

• Allow the appliance to cool before storing.

• Never put your hands inside the appliance. Food that is too big, metal packaging or utensils must not be inserted in the toaster. Never attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged into the mains.

• Let the appliance cool down completely and disconnect it before cleaning.

• To remove pieces remaining in the toaster, turn it upside down and shake gently. Never insert a knife or any sharp object in the toaster as this could cause damage.

• Do not place the appliance on or near a hot appliance or on heat-sensitive surfaces.

• Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the work surface or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when on.

• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.

• Always unplug the appliance after use and before cleaning. Pull on the plug to unplug, never on the cable.

• Do not use the appliance if it has fallen or if it looks damaged.

• Do not try to repair the appliance yourself.

• Do not use outdoors.

• WARNING: The polyethylene bags over the product or its packaging may be dangerous. Keep these bags out of the reach of babies and children. Never use them in cribs, children’s beds, pushchairs or playpens. A bag is not a toy.

• Always ensure the voltage to be used corresponds with the voltage on the appliance, this is indicated on the bottom of the housing.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

• Always disconnect the appliance from the electric supply if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.

• Never pull the plug out of the mains socket by the supply cord.

• Always ensure that your hands are dry before touching the supply cord or removing the plug from the mains socket.

• Only plug the appliance into a socket with a built-in earth. We recommend checking that the electrical installation is equipped with an appropriate residual current device.

To use your CUISINART CPT780 toaster, follow these steps:

1. Place the toaster on a flat, even surface.

2. Check that the crumb collector is installed in the appliance.

3. Insert bread in the slots and push the lever down.

4. To stop the toaster before the end of the cycle, press the Cancel button.

Turn the control dial to the desired toasting level. The browning of your bread slices varies depending on the type of bread and degree of humidity of the slices. As a general rule, for medium toasting, set your CUISINART CPT780 toaster on level 4-5 to toast denser bread or fresh bread and on 2-3 for toasting stale bread.

By using the various settings Cancel (⊗ symbol), Defrost (❄ symbol) and Reheat (♨ symbol), you adjust the necessary time depending on the type of bread and the desired toasting level. Each setting can be combined with the browning level control dial. A light indicator shows the selected setting.

If you wish to cancel the selection, press the Cancel button. This will stop the cycle and raise the bread slices.

• Bread rolls, muffins or thick slices should be toasted longer.

• To toast croissants, cut them in half horizontally. To reheat them only, use the reheat setting.

• When toasting fruit breads, remove any loose fruits from the surface of the bread in order to prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot.

• If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a lighter setting than you normally would.

• Always disconnect the toaster from the mains immediately after use and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid or place in a dishwasher.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Always apply any cleaning agent to a cloth, not to the toaster.

• To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and throw the breadcrumbs away, then put the crumb collector back in place.

• To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn the toaster upside down and gently shake.

• Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster.

IMPORTANT: Never insert any hard, sharp or metal instruments into the slots as this could damage the toaster and cause a safety hazard.
