When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. UNPLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE, BEFORE PUTTING
ON OR TAKING OFF PARTS AND BEFORE CLEANING.
Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs
or place any part of the toaster oven broiler in water or other liquids.
See instructions for cleaning on page 8.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
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 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 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.
13. To avoid burns, use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing
of hot grease.
14. When not in use, always unplug the unit. Do not store any materials
other than manufacturer’s recommended accessories in this oven.
15. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper,
cardboard, plastic and similar products.
16. 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.
17. Oversize foods, metal foil packages and utensils must not be
inserted in the toaster oven broiler, as they may involve a risk of fire
or electric shock.
18. A fire may occur if the toaster oven broiler is covered or touching
flammable materials such as curtains, draperies, walls and the like
when in operation. Do not store any items on top of the appliance
when in operation. Do not operate under wall cabinets.

SPECIAL CORDSET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord must 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 tripped over or pulled on by children.
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.

OVEN RACK
POSITION GUIDE
All of our recipes give you
step-by-step directions
and will tell you where
the oven rack should be
positioned for best results.
Please refer to the diagram
below for oven rack positions.
Each position is described
with a letter that is referred
to in the recipe.
WARNING: Placing the rack
in the bottom position (A) or
in the top position (B) with
the rack upwards while
toasting may result in a fire.
Toast only in rack position C.
Rack Position A
Rack Position B
Rack Position C
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Place your oven on a flat surface. Remove any packaging and promotional
labels in or on the oven. Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray
is in place by inserting it into the opening below the door, and check that
there is nothing inside or on top of the oven. Plug power cord into wall outlet.
Before using your oven, make sure it is two to four 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 OVEN.
IF YOU DO, REMOVE ALL OBJECTS BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR
OVEN. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE. KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Toast/Bagel: Always have the rack in rack position C, as indicated in the
diagram at left, for even toasting. Always center your item/items in
the middle of the rack.
Bake: 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.
Broil: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more.
It also can be used to brown the tops of casseroles and gratins.
Caution:
Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the drip pan. Foil is
extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate
and may catch fire. If foil is used to cover drip pan, be sure foil is tucked
neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods.
Never cover the crumb tray.
Sandwich: Cook the perfect open-faced sandwich. This function provides
full heat on the bottom to toast bread and less heat on top to melt cheese
or brown a sandwich.
Leftover: Perfect setting for reheating food that has already been cooked.
Keep Warm: Maintains the oven at a low temperature using only the bottom
heating elements to keep foods warm without drying out.
5
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Any cooking cycle can be stopped by
pressing the Start/Stop button at any time. This will stop the heating cycle.
Dormant Mode: The oven will go dormant when cooking cycle is completed
or when no button is pressed or dial moved after 2 minutes. When dormant
the oven has power but is not lit up. Pushing any button or turning the
selector dial will activate the dormant oven.
Deactivating Oven Sounds: You have the option of turning off the
electronic beeping sounds. To deactivate all beeps, push the Time button
and Shade button simultaneously for 2 seconds. To reinstate all beeps,
repeat by again pushing both the Time and Shade buttons simultaneously
for 2 seconds. If you unplug the oven, all beeps will turn back on.

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 cleansers, as they will damage the finish. Simply
wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the
cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the toaster oven, 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 Brillo pads,
etc. on interior of oven.
4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Wipe clean and replace. Crumb tray is dishwasher safe. To remove
baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot sudsy water or use nonabrasive
cleaners. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
5. Wire rack, baking pan and crumb tray are dishwasher safe. If heavily
soiled, soak 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 top interior of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven
will perform like new and help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
