Quickview; Tips And Hints - Cuisinart CPT-540 Manual De Instrucciones

Single Slice
The SINGLE function generates balanced heat for even toasting on just
one slice of bread. While both slots heat up, the heaters automatically
adjust time and intensity to ensure great results with even side-to-side
browning. LED will illuminate when selected.

QuickView™

The QUICKVIEW™ feature allows you to check on the toasting progress
without interrupting the cycle. Simply press the button during toasting
to momentarily lift the bread to observe the shade status. The bread will
automatically lower back down and continue toasting without interrupting
the cycle.
NOTE: The QuickView™ function can be activated a maximum of 3 times
during a toasting cycle. Operating the QuickView™ function more than
once will affect the toast color.
+30 Secs
The +30 SECS function allows you to extend the toasting time by
30 seconds.
If selected during toasting cycle:
• The +30 Secs LED indicator will flash. Current shade countdown will
be paused. Upon completion of the 30-second cycle, the originally
selected browning shade cycle will resume.
If selected after toasting cycle has completed:
• The +30 Secs LED indicator will light and shade setting will disappear.
Once toasting begins, the +30 Secs indicator will flash until time has
elapsed.

TIPS AND HINTS

Notes on Browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in moisture level from one item to another can result in
varying toasting times.
• For lighter, airier, or slightly dry breads, use a lower setting than
normal.
• For very fresh bread, use the Whole Wheat setting.
• For breads with uneven surfaces, similar to English muffins or
crumpets, use the English Muffin setting.
• For thicker, denser, or very fresh breads, use a higher browning
setting than normal. Very thick slices may require a second cycle.
• 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 slots.
• Before toasting bagels, slice into two equal halves.
Frozen Bread, Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast and Bagels
Use the Defrost function to defrost, and then toast these items.
Simply insert the frozen item, select desired function, select Defrost,
select desired browning setting (1–7) and then press down the bar
to start.
For Best Results
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should fit freely
between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create
a fire hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven
thickness.
