English Muffins & Thick Sliced Breads.
Requires 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 accomodate 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 single longer toasting time can result in waffles, pancakes or French toast 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 it 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
1. Set the Slice Control Switch to the
1 2 . 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 2 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 Browning Dial to a lighter setting. This will prevent overtoasting
the bread slice. For one slice of regular sized bread, follow these steps:
1. Set the Slice Control Switch to the
1 2 . 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).
