1. Read all instructions.
2. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not place any part of the
toaster in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
5. This appliance should not be used by or near children, or
individuals with certain disabilities.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or
damaged in any way, or if it is not operating properly. Return appli-
ance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart
may cause injury.

in a heated oven.
11. Do not use this toaster for other than intended use.
12. Oversize foods, metal foil packages or utensils must not be
inserted in the toaster, as they may involve a risk of re or electric
shock.
13. A re may occur if the toaster is covered or touching ammable
materials, such as curtains, draperies or walls, when in operation.
Do not operate under wall cabinets.

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 unintentionally 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.

Some notes on browning
Toasting is a combination of cooking and drying of the bread. Therefore,
differences in 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highersettingthan
normal.
•Breadswithveryunevensurfaces(suchasEnglishmufns)willrequirea
higher toast setting.
•Thicklycutpiecesofbread(includingbagels)willtakelongertotoast,
sometimes signicantly longer, since more moisture must be evapo-
rated 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 slot.
•Beforetoastingbagels,sliceeachbagelintotwoequalhalves.
Single slice toasting
If you are toasting a single slice of bread, set the heat selector to a lighter
setting than you normally would. The toaster is designed to heat the
whole toasting chamber for two slices. By lowering the heat for a single
slice, you won't overtoast.
Frozen waffles, pancakes, french toast and frozen bagels
These breads and pastries should be warmed using the Defrost button.
Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the lling can become quite hot,
long before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave
toaster pastries unattended while toasting or warming.
3. To begin toasting
Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To stop toasting
When the toasting cycle is nished, the toast will be raised. If
you wish to stop the cycle before it is nished, simply press the
Cancel button.
