place any part of the toaster in water or other liquids. See instructions
for cleaning.
5. This appliance should not be used by or near children, or individuals
with certain disabilities. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after
the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped, dropped in
water, or damaged in any way, or if it is not operating properly. Return
the toaster to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart

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). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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 modify the plug in any way.

FUNCTIONS
QuickView™
The QuickView™ feature allows you to check on the toasting progress
without interrupting the cycle. Simply lift the high-lift lever to temporarily
raise and view your bread, and then release lever to automatically lower
and continue toasting.
Bagel
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.
An icon located on the top of the toaster shows you the right way
to insert your bagel. (The cut side should always face away from
the center of the pair of toasting slots.)
Defrost
The Defrost function is a longer cycle designed to first defrost and then
toast the bread to the desired browning shade.
Single
The Single Slice function generates balanced heat for even toasting
of just one slice of bread. While both slots heat up, the heaters
automatically adjust time and intensity to ensure great results with even
side-to-side browning.
+30 Seconds
The +30S function allows you to extend the toasting time by
30 seconds.
Front Crumb Tray
The removable crumb tray is conveniently located at the front of the
unit to make cleanup a breeze. Simply pull the crumb tray out from the
toaster, empty the crumbs into the trash, and push back into place.
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 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 signi-
cantly 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 fruit, 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. Simply
insert the frozen item, select desired browning setting (1–7), press down
the carriage lever, then select Defrost.
Toaster Pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling 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
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 rear
cord stuff box to store any excess cord length.
6. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
