INTRODUCTION  
You’ll love your Cuisinart® 4-Slice Tandem Toaster. Thanks to the  
powerful 1800-watt heating element, your toaster lets you put toasted  
items on the plate faster! It also features Bagel, Reheat and Defrost  
functions, plus six shade settings. Toast waffles, bagels, muffin halves,  
and bread just the way you like them! The Always EvenShade control  
toasts evenly every time, and an energy-saving 2/4 slice selector lets  
you turn off one slot if you’re toasting only one or two items. The  
cleanup is easy, too – the crumb tray slides out and the cool-touch  
housing wipes clean in seconds!

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.  
Takes up excess cord and keeps countertop neat.  
12. Bright Blue Neon Light  
Shows shade settings 1-6.

• For very fresh bread or whole wheat bread, use a higher setting  
than normal.  
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:  
• Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will  
require a higher toast setting.  
• Thickly-cut pieces of bread (including 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.  
1. Select the number of slices.  
Press the desired slice control button to desired setting (2-slice or  
4-slice).  
2. Insert slice(s) of bread.  
• 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 slot.  
Place bread in the front toaster slot (the slot closest to the  
controls). Setting the 2-slice/4-slice button turns off the back  
toaster slot, giving better toasting results.  
NOTE: For single slice of bread, turn the shade dial to lighter setting;  
this will allow for a shorter toasting time.  
• Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.  
Notes on Specialty Uses  
3. Begin toasting.  
Press the carriage lever into the down position.  
The following breads and pastries should be warmed using the Defrost  
button: frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and frozen bagels.  
Defrost Function  
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.  
The Defrost function is designed to first defrost and then toast the  
bread, which extends the toasting cycle slightly.  
1. Insert slice(s) of bread.  
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in the  
up position.  
3. To Begin Toasting  
Press the carriage lever until it locks in the down position.  
2. Set the Browning Control Dial.  
4. To Stop Toasting  
Settings 1-2  
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  
Cancel button.  
For refrigerated breads and thinner frozen items such as frozen  
pancakes.  
Settings 3-4  
Tips  
For toaster pastries, frozen waffles and (thin) French toast, and  
refrigerated bagels.  
• Never force food into the toasting slot. Foods should fit freely  
between the guide wires.  
Settings 5-6  
• Do not place buttered breads or pastries with fillings or frostings  
in the toaster, as this could create a fire hazard.  
For thicker frozen items such as bagels, hand-cut bread and thick  
French toast.  
• Uneven toasting is usually due to bread slices of uneven  
thickness.  
3. Select the Defrost function on the Control Dial.  
4. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.  
• After use, unplug your toaster from the electrical outlet.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.  
1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet.  
When the defrost cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If  
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the Cancel  
button to interrupt. After use, 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.  
Reheat Function  
The reheat feature allows you to reheat bread without browning or  
toasting.  
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.  
1. Insert slice(s) of bread.  
Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and the carriage is in  
the up position.  
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.  
2. Select the Reheat function on the Control Dial.  
3. Press the carriage control lever until it locks into position.  
To stop cycle  
5. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the toaster. Use the  
cord storage cleats on the underside of the toaster.  
When the reheat cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If  
you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply press the cancel  
button to interrupt.
