IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. UNPLUG FROM THE OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE AND BEFORE CLEANING. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electric shock, do not place any part of the Toaster Oven Broiler in water or other liquids. See instructions for cleaning on page 6.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
6. 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 is not operating properly. Return the Toaster Oven Broiler to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or countertop where it could be pulled on inadvertently by children or pets, or touch hot surfaces, which could damage the cord.
10. Do not place the Toaster Oven Broiler on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Do not use this Toaster Oven Broiler for anything other than its intended purpose.
12. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal or glass in the Toaster Oven Broiler.

15. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and similar products.
16. Do not cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
    Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the crumb tray. Grease will accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use foil to cover the baking pan/drip tray, be sure the foil is cut to neatly fit into the pan and does not touch the wall or heating elements.
17. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, and utensils must not be inserted in the Toaster Oven Broiler, as they may pose a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. A fire may occur if the Toaster Oven Broiler is covered or touches flammable materials such as curtains, draperies, and walls when in operation. Do not store any items on top of the appliance when in operation. Do not operate under wall cabinets.
19. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, posing a risk of electric shock.
20. Do not attempt to dislodge food when the Toaster Oven Broiler is plugged into an electrical outlet.
21. Warning: To avoid the possibility of fire, NEVER leave the Toaster Oven Broiler unattended during use
22. Do not rest cooking utensils or baking dishes on the glass door.
23. Turn the function dial to the OFF position to turn off the Toaster Oven Broiler.
24. Where applicable, always attach the plug to the appliance and check that the function dial is off before plugging the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the function dial to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
25. 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.

Before first use, thoroughly wash the baking pan and oven rack with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly. Before using your Toaster Oven Broiler, make sure it is 2 to 4 inches away from the wall or from any objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surfaces. DO NOT STORE OBJECTS ON THE TOP OF THE TOASTER OVEN BROILER. IF YOU DO, REMOVE ALL OBJECTS BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR TOASTER OVEN BROILER. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

COOKING FUNCTIONS

Toast/Bagel: Always have the rack in the upper position, as indicated in the diagram on page 6, for even toasting. Always center your item/s in the middle of the rack.

1. Make sure the oven rack is in the upper position, as indicated in the diagram on page 6. If toasting two items, center them in the middle of the rack. Four items should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back. Six items should be evenly spaced – three in front, three in back.
2. Close the glass door. Set dial to desired function (Toast or Bagel).
3. Turn the shade dial to the desired browning setting. Press the START/STOP button to begin the cycle.
4. When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep 5 times and turn off. If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the START/STOP button.

Bake: The Baking function can be used as you would normally use your large kitchen oven for roasting meats, including chicken, or baking cakes, cookies and more.

1. Turn the function dial to Bake and the temperature dial to the desired temperature.
2. Press the START/STOP button to begin the bake cycle. Allow the oven to preheat for at least five minutes before putting some foods in the oven to bake, such as cakes and other baked goods.
3. To cancel/end the cycle, press the START/STOP button.

Pizza:

1. Place the rack or pan in the lower position if pre-baking the crust. Place the rack or pan in the upper position for top melting cheese.
2. Set the function dial to Pizza, set the temperature dial accordingly, and press the START/STOP button to begin the cycle.
3. To cancel/end the cycle, press the START/STOP button.

Broil: The Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish, and more. It can also be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the crumb tray. Foil is extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch fire. If foil is used to cover the baking pan, be sure the foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods. Never cover the crumb tray.

1. Turn the FUNCTION dial to Broil and turn the TEMPERATURE dial to Broil.
2. Press the START/STOP button to begin. Allow the oven to preheat for at least five minutes before putting food in the Toaster Oven Broiler to broil.
3. To cancel/end the cycle, press the START/STOP button.

   NOTE: Never use glass oven dishes to broil.
   Turning off the Toaster Oven Broiler: Press the START/STOP button. The indicator light will turn off.

Warm:

1. Turn the function and temperature dials to Warm.
2. Press the START/STOP button. To cancel/end the cycle, press the START/STOP button.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If using a cleaning agent, apply it to the cloth, not to the Toaster Oven Broiler, before cleaning.
3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use scouring soap pads on the interior of the oven.
4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the Toaster Oven Broiler without the crumb tray in place.
5. Wire rack, pan, and crumb tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush.
6. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats on the back of the oven.
7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
   IMPORTANT: After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean the interior of the Toaster Oven Broiler. If this is done on a regular basis, your Toaster Oven Broiler will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.

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 of 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.
