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.
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.

Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray and the two inner glass panels are in place and that there is nothing in the toaster slot. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.
NOTE: If the inner glass panels are not properly in place, the unit will not function.

1. Insert slice(s) of bread.
   Be sure that multiple slices do not overlap and that the carriage is in the up position.
2. Set the browning control.
   Slide finger to desired shade:
   • Setting Color
   • 1–2 light
   • 3–4 medium
   • 5–6 dark
3. To begin toasting
   Press the carriage lever until it locks into the down position.
4. To stop toasting
   When the toasting cycle is finished, the toast will be raised. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply touch the Cancel icon.
   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 raisins or other fruit bread, remove any loose raisins, etc., from the surface of the bread before placing it into the toaster. This will help prevent fruit pieces from falling into the toaster or sticking on the guide wires in the slot.
   • Before toasting bagels, slice each bagel into two equal halves.

Frozen waffles, pancakes, French toast and bagels
These items should be warmed before toasting, using the Defrost function. Select Defrost, and then your preferred browning shade. For example, when toasting a frozen bagel, select Defrost, the browning level, and then Bagel.
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 slot. Foods should fit freely between the guide wires.
• Do not place buttered bread 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.

Single Slice Function
The Single Slice Function evenly toasts one slice of bread, side to side.

To Stop Cycle
When the Single Slice cycle is complete, the toaster will raise the bread. If you wish to stop the cycle before it is finished, simply touch the cancel icon to interrupt.

Bagel function
The bagel feature reduces heat on one side of the toasting slot. This toasts the cut side of the bagel slightly more than the other side. An embossed icon ( ◗ ◗ ) located on the top of the toaster shows you the right way to insert your bagel.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the toaster from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

WARRANTY

LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® ViewPro™ Glass 2-Slice Toaster that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use.

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. If your Cuisinart® ViewPro™ Glass 2-Slice Toaster should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think it necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our Consumer Service Representatives, or send the defective product to Consumer Service at Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307. To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of the product. Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart product that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered under warranty. Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product model number (located on the bottom of the product), original date of purchase, and any other information pertinent to the product’s return.
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, at its discretion, 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 the above two options do not result 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 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling of such products under warranty.

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.
