6. To stop toasting
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.
7. To remove toast
Lift the extra-lift carriage control until it reaches its highest point.
This is especially useful when toasting smaller breads.
HELPFUL BROWNING NOTES
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.
• 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.
• 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
slice control switch in the 1-Slice/2-Slice position , the
Cuisinart
®
4-Slice Toaster generates less heat and better toasting
results.
• A single slice of toast requires less toasting time than two slices
of bread. To prevent overtoasting of a single slice, put bread in
the front slot, set the slice control switch to the
1-Slice/2-Slice position , and set the browning control to a
lighter setting than you normally would. Each chamber is
designed for 2 slices of bread. By lowering the toasting time for a
single slice, your toast won’t get too brown.
