SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTICE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

FUNCTIONS
Bread functions are designed to toast, or defrost (in conjunction with
the DEFROST setting) various types of bread based on their unique
proper ties. Some breads require more or less time due to density,
sugar content, and other factors.
The WHITE function is designed for soft, white sandwich breads.
These breads are made mostly of unrened white our, and are
more commonly known as the sliced, packaged varieties found in
the supermarket bread aisle, labeled as country or farmhouse white.
The BAGEL function is designed to toast bagels to perfection by reducing
heat on one side of the toasting slot. This toasts the cut side of the bagel
slightly more than the other side.
A directional icon located on the top of the toaster shows you
the correct way to insert your bagel. ( The cut side should always
face away from center of the pair of toasting slots.)
The GRAIN function is designed for unrened, nutrient-dense breads
made from 100%, or mostly whole grains, with varieties such as whole
wheat, sprouted whole grains, rye, oat, ax, etc.
The ENGLISH MUFFIN function adds extra time to the toasting cycle
to allow for a more dense bread type.
The WAFFLE function is designed for wafes. The default setting
is paired with the DEFROST function to defrost and then toast
frozen wafes.
The SWEET function is designed for breads with a higher sugar
content (naturally occurring or added), such as raisin-cinnamon bread,
fruit and nut bread, potato bread, some enriched breads (e.g., brioche,
challah), etc.
The GLUTEN-FREE function is designed for most types of gluten-free
bread.
NOTE: The GLUTEN-FREE function does not remove the gluten from
your bread.
Defrost
The DEFROST function is a longer cycle designed to rst defrost and
then toast the bread to the desired browning shade. LED ring around
button will illuminate when selected.
Single Slice
The SINGLE SLICE Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side
to side. LED ring around button will illuminate when selected.
Cancel
The CANCEL function will stop the toasting process and automatically
lift the bread.
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 Grain setting.
• For breads with uneven surfaces, similar to English mufns or
crumpets, use the English Mufn 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.
6
Simply insert the frozen item, select desired function, select Defrost,
select desired browning setting (1–7) and then press down the lever
to start.
Toaster Pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the lling can become quite
hot, long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Start by
using the lightest setting. Never leave toaster pastries unattended while
toasting or warming.
For Best Results
• Never force foods into the toasting slots. Foods should t freely
between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create
a re hazard.
• Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven
thickness.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean,
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. Never operate the toaster without the crumb
trays in place.
4. To remove any pieces of bread remaining in the toaster, unplug the
toaster, turn it upside down and gently shake. Never insert any hard
or sharp instruments into the slots, 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.
6. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.

independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase
price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior

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
