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.

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 slightly dry bread, use a lower setting than you normally would.
• For very fresh bread or whole-wheat bread, use a higher setting
than normal.
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English mufns) will
require a higher toast setting.
• Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer to toast, sometimes
signicantly longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the
bread before toasting can occur. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
• 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 each 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 (1–6) 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.
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
tray in place.
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 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.
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.

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 that sells Cuisinart

preference, 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 neither of the above two options results 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
