IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Always unplug appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use buttons or levers.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord or 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 or damaged in any way, or if it is not operating properly. Return the toaster to the store or retailer where purchased for examination or repair.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
INTRODUCTION
Your new Custom Select™ Toaster is designed to ensure that everything toasts to the precise shade you like best. With preset settings for Waffles, Bagels, Pastries, Bread, and English Muffins, this toaster knows just how long to toast for your selection. Depending on sugar content, density, and thickness, breads may toast a little faster or slower, so you might want to experiment with lighter or darker shade settings. And if you want to toast something that’s frozen, the Defrost button thaws it before the toaster starts toasting. When making just one slice, the Single function gives you the perfect shade, side to side. Everybody loves toast just their way, and this is a toaster everybody will love!

To stop cycle
When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to
stop the cycle before it is finished, simply push the Cancel button. After
use, unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.
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 muffins) will require a higher toast setting.
- Thickly cut pieces of bread 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 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 bagel into two equal halves.
Bagel
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function.
Select bread type and then your preferred browning shade. Press carriage lever
and then press Defrost. For example, when toasting a frozen bagel, select
Bagel, and then select the browning level, press carriage lever and Defrost.
Toaster pastries
Exercise caution with toaster pastries; the filling can become quite hot, long
before the surface of the pastry becomes browned. Never leave toaster pastries
unattended while toasting or warming.
Tips
- 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 bread slices of uneven thickness.
- After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.

WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you
own a Cuisinart® Custom Select™ 4-Slice 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® Custom
Select™ 4-Slice 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, 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.
HASSLE-FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
Your ultimate satisfaction in Cuisinart products is our goal, so if your
Cuisinart® Custom Select™ 4-Slice Toaster should fail within the generous
warranty period, we will repair it or, if necessary, replace it at no cost to
you. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at cuisinart.com/customer-
care/product-return.
Or call our toll-free customer service department at 1-800-726-0190 to speak with a representative.
Your Cuisinart® Custom Select™ 4-Slice Toaster has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts. 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. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
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.
