USE AND CARE  
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If  
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the  
“Cancel” button. You can also lift up the carriage control lever to  
stop the cycle.  
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and  
that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the  
wall outlet.  
7. To remove toast  
1. Insert slice(s) of bread  
Lift the extra-lift carriage control until it reaches its highest point.  
This is especially useful when toasting smaller breads.  
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the bread  
carriage is in the up position.  
2. Set the browning control  
HELPFUL BROWNING NOTES  
Turn the rotary browning dial to the desired position. Toast gets  
darker as the dial is turned clockwise from left to right. The  
browning dial can be adjusted either before or after pressing  
down the carriage/start lever.  
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread.  
Therefore, differences in denseness and moisture level from one  
bread to another can result in varying toasting times.  
• For slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you  
normally would.  
Setting  
Color  
• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker  
setting than normal.  
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will  
require a higher browning setting.

3. Set slice control switch  
• Thickly cut pieces of bread and bagels will take longer to toast,  
sometimes significantly longer, since more moisture must be  
evaporated from the bread before toasting can occur. Very thick  
pieces may require two cycles.  
• When toasting raisin breads, fruit breads, or fruit muffins, remove  
any loose fruit, 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 guard wires in the slot.  
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.  
• Most 4-slice toasters generate so much heat that when only  
2 slices are toasted, they can be overtoasted. By positioning the

NOTES ON SPECIALTY USES:  
TWO-SLICE TOASTING:  
Toaster Pastries  
Most 4-slice toasters generate so much heat that when  
2 slices are toasted the bread can be overtoasted. For two slices  
of regular size bread, follow these steps:  
Exercise caution with toaster pastries: the filling can become quite  
hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. A low  
setting should be sufficient. Never leave toaster pastries unattend-  
ed while toasting or warming. Avoid iced pastries. The icing can  
melt onto the interior of the toaster or it can burn.  
1. Set the slice control switch to the 1-Slice/2-Slice position  
.
This will reduce the amount of heat generated and give better  
toasting results.  
2. Put both slices of bread in the front toaster slot. This is the slot  
on the side of the toaster with the Cuisinart name on it. Putting  
English Muffins and Thick Sliced Breads  
Require longer toasting time than regular breads. We suggest that  
you increase the darkness setting on the browning dial to increase  
the toasting time.

position turns  
3. Start the toaster as you normally would (push down the  
carriage control lever).  
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.  
SINGLE SLICE TOASTING:  
A single slice of toast requires less toasting time than two slices of  
bread. Each chamber is designed for 2 slices of regular size  
bread. Lower the toast time for a single slice by turning the brown-  
ing dial to a lighter setting. This will prevent overtoasting  
the bread slice. For one slice of regular size bread, follow these  
steps:  
Frozen Breads  
The following breads and pastries should be defrosted and  
warmed using the “Defrost” button:  
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels.  
1. Set the slice control switch to the 1-Slice/2-Slice position  
.
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 French toast, waffles or pancakes that are toasted on the  
outside but cool or soggy on the inside.  
This will turn off the back chamber to reduce the amount of heat  
generated, and give better toasting results.  
2. Put the slice of bread in the front toaster slot. This is on the side  
of the toaster with the Cuisinart name on it. It is also marked  
with arrows  
which point to the front slot.  
3. Set the browning control to a lighter setting than you  
normally would for 2 slices.  
4. Start the toaster as you normally would (push down the  
carriage control lever).  
TIPS:  
• Never force foods into the toasting slot. Foods should fit  
freely between the guard (guide) 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  
To stop cycle:  
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.  
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.  
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a  
clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply any cleansing  
agent to a cloth, not to the toaster, before cleaning.  
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard  
crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster  
without the crumb tray in place.  
When the defrost and toast cycle is complete, the toaster will raise  
the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is  
finished, simply press the “Cancel” button to interrupt at any time.  
To remove toast, lift the extra-lift carriage control until  
it reaches its highest point. This is especially useful when  
toasting smaller breads.  
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, turn  
the toaster upside down and gently shake. Never insert any  
hard or sharp instruments into the slot, as this could damage  
the toaster and cause a safety hazard.  
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the  
cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.

product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service location.  
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration card  
promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase. However,  
return of the product registration card does not eliminate the need for the  
consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the  
warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase  
date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of  
manufacture. If your toaster should prove to be defective within the warran-  
ty period, we will repair or replace it at our option, without charge to you.

Your Cuisinart® Toaster has been manufactured to the strictest specifica-  
tions and has been designed for use with authorized Cuisinart® accessories  
and replacement parts. THIS WARRANTY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES ANY  
DEFECTS OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ACCESSORIES, REPLACE-

HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED BY CUISINART. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY  
DOES NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY ACCIDENT, MISUSE,  
SHIPMENT OR OTHER THAN ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD USE.  
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY  
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents  
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store  
where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart  
products of the same type. The retail store shall then decide to either repair  
the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace  
the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly  
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If either of the  
above two options does not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer,  
the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if  
service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the  
consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service,  
repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.  
California residents may also, according to their preference, return  
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary,  
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at  
800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair,  
replacement, and shipping and handling of such nonconforming
