of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

• To ensure no possible accidental injury
occurs, when infirmed persons (including
children) are near the appliance, they must
be closely supervised.

• Children should always be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.

• Use only on an appropriate benchtop &
indoors only, sitting away from flammable
materials such as curtains, draperies and
walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if
comes in contact or becomes covered during
operation.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric
burner, or in a heated oven.

• Do not use appliance for other than its
intended use.

• This appliance is under 220V~240V use only.
Check voltage to be sure the voltage
indicated on the nameplate agrees with your
voltage.

• Always attach plug to unit first, then plug
cord to wall outlet. To safely disconnect,

press/turn dial “OFF” to stop cooking cycle
and remove plug from electrical outlet.

• To avoid the possibility of the unit being
accidentally pulled off the working area,
which could result in damage to the unit or
personal injury, do not let the cord hang over
the edge of a table or benchtop.

• To avoid damage to the cord and possible
fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord
come into contact with any hot surfaces
including a stovetop.

• Do not operate this appliance if it has been
dropped or damaged (including the cord) in
any manner or is not operating correctly.
Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart
Repair Centre for examination, repair,
electrical or mechanical adjustment.

• Do not operate this appliance in an appliance
cabinet or under a wall cabinet. When
storing in an appliance cabinet, always
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not
doing so could create a risk of fire, especially
if the unit is in contact with the walls of any
cabinetry or on closing the cabinet door and
touching the unit.

• When in use, avoid contact with any moving
parts.

• Keep hands hair and clothing, as well as
spatulas and other utensils away during
operation to reduce the risk of injury and/or

• At no time, before or during cooking and
cleaning immerse unit, plug or cord in water,

induce injury to persons. If the unit, plug or
cord should fall into water or other liquids,
unplug the cord from the electrical output
immediately. DO NOT reach into the water.

• Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the
oven except the baking pan with metal foil –
this will cause overheating of the oven.
