DELONGHI CTOV (01) PDF DOCUMENT

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below.

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.

The main parts of the DELONGHI CTOV toaster are:

A) Toasting slots

B) Power-on lever

C) Browning level indicator

D) Browning control knob

E) Crumb tray

F) Defrost button and light

G) Reheat button and light

H) Bagel button and light

I) Stop/cancel button

L) Removable warming rack

To eliminate the “new” smell on first use, operate the appliance without any food for at least 5 minutes. Ventilate the room during this operation. Ensure the power-on lever (B) is up and the browning control knob (D) is set to a medium level. Then, plug the appliance into the mains socket.

1. Insert slices of bread into the toasting slots (A).

2. Press the power-on lever (B) down until it clicks into place. Note: if the appliance is not plugged into the mains, the lever (B) will not stay down.

3. When toasting is complete, the lever will pop up, lifting the bread slices.

4. If the toast is not brown enough, select a higher browning level by turning the browning control knob (D).

5. If the toast is too dark, select a lower browning level.

6. The toasting cycle can be interrupted at any time by pressing the stop/cancel button (I).

You can toast frozen bread slices by pressing the defrost button (F) immediately after lowering the power-on lever (B). The cooking cycle will be extended to achieve the desired browning. The indicator light will remain lit as long as the defrost function is in use.

To reheat toast, lower the power-on lever (B) and press the reheat button (G). The reheat light will remain on during the reheat cycle. Note that the reheating time is fixed and cannot be adjusted with the browning control knob.

The “bagel” function allows you to toast bread, bagels, and muffins on one side only (the inner side), while the other side (the outer side) remains warm. Before toasting, bagels and muffins must be cut in half. Lower the power-on lever (B) and press the “bagel” button (H). The bagel light will remain lit while the function is in use.

Use the warming rack (L) to warm up croissants or brioches.

1. Fix the “warming rack” to the appliance as shown in the diagram on page 3 of the PDF.

2. Place the croissant on the rack.

3. Turn the browning control knob (D) to the desired setting.

4. Lower the power-on lever (B) until it clicks into place.

5. If the croissant is not warm enough, select a higher browning level next time.

• Do not operate the appliance when empty (i.e. with no bread slices inside).

• Do not use very thin or broken slices of bread.

• Do not insert foods that may drip during cooking. As well as making cleaning more difficult, they may cause fires. It is also important to clean the crumb tray of any drips before each use.

• Do not insert (by force) foods that are too big for the slots.

• Do not insert forks or other utensils into the toaster to remove bread, as this could damage the heating elements. Unplug the appliance, turn it upside down and shake it gently to remove any jammed food.

• Before any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the toaster from the mains socket.
