IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

Read all instructions.
Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or lever.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or place any part of the toaster in water or other liquids. See instructions for cleaning.
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.
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 store or retailer where purchased for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place toaster on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Do not use this toaster for anything other than its intended use.
Oversized foods, metal foil packages or utensils must not be inserted in the toaster, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
A fire may occur if the toaster is covered or touching flammable materials, such as curtains, draperies or walls, when in operation. Do not operate under wall cabinets.
Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster is plugged into an electrical outlet.
To avoid possibility of fire, do not leave toaster unattended during use.
To disconnect, push the Cancel button, then remove plug from wall. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

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 properties. 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 unrefined white flour, 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 unrefined, nutrient-dense breads made from 100%, or mostly whole grains, with varieties such as whole wheat, sprouted whole grains, rye, oat, flax, 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 waffles. The default setting is paired with the DEFROST function to defrost and then toast frozen waffles.

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 first 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 muffins or crumpets, use the English Muffin 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.

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 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 fit freely between the guide wires.
Do not place buttered breads in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.
Uneven toasting is usually due to inserting slices of uneven thickness.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
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.
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.
Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty

This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® 4-Slice Digital Toaster that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart® 4-Slice Digital Toaster will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase.

We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

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 products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its 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 calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by attempted use of this unit with a converter, as well as use with accessories, replacement parts or repair service other than those authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages.

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts, and to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
