NOTES ON SPECIALTY USES:
Toaster Pastries
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.
English Muffins and Thick Sliced Breads
Require longer toasting time than regular breads. We suggest that
you increase the darkness setting on the browning dial to increase
the toasting time.
Long Slices of Bread
If your bread slice is so long that a toaster slot can only
accommodate a single slice, we suggest that you set the browning
control to a lighter setting than you normally would.
Frozen Breads
The following breads and pastries should be defrosted and
warmed using the “Defrost” button:
Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels.
Press the “Defrost” button 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.
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.
TWO-SLICE TOASTING:
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:
1. Set the slice control switch to the 1-Slice/2-Slice position .
This will reduce the amount of heat generated and give better
toasting results.
2. Put both slices of bread in the front toaster slot. This is the slot
on the side of the toaster with the Cuisinart name on it. Putting
the slice control switch in the 1-Slice/2-Slice position turns
OFF the back chamber.
3. Start the toaster as you normally would (push down the
carriage control lever).
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:
1. Set the slice control switch to the 1-Slice/2-Slice position .
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
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).
