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.  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should  
always be followed, including the following:  
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.  
1. Read all instructions.  
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.  
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not place any part  
of the toaster in water or other liquid. See instructions  
for cleaning.  
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by  
or near children.  
5. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.  
Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.  
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  
the toaster to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examina-  
tion, repair, mechanical or electrical adjustment.  
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by  
Cuisinart may cause injury.  
8. Do not use outdoors.  
9. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop or  
touch hot surfaces.  
10. Do not place toaster on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in  
a heated oven.  
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.  
INTRODUCTION  
In the tradition of Cuisinart, the 4-Slice Classic Style Electronic  
Toaster meets our strict performance standards. This handsomely  
chrome-plated design combines the warm memories of yesterday  
with the quality of today’s technology.  
This attractive toaster makes quick work of breakfast for two or  
more. Long wide slots toast a variety of items from long slices of  
Italian bread, to small English muffins, to fresh homemade breads.  
Bagels too! Our energy saving switch turns off the back slot when  
you only need one or two slices toasted. Our extra lift feature brings  
toasted breads close to the top of the toaster, making it easy to  
remove small items, like English muffins. We also include the  
convenient reheat and defrost features, with LED displays.  
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 fire or  
electric shock.  
13. A fire may occur if the toaster is covered with or touching

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  
Cancelbutton. 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.  
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.

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.

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  
accomodate 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 Defrostbutton:  
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels.  
1. Set the slice control switch to the 1-Slice/2-Slice position 1.2.  
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  
Press the Defrostbutton 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.  
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 Cancelbutton 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.
