4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord or plug, or place
any part of the oven in water or other liquids. See instructions for
cleaning on page 14.
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 oven 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. Do not let cord touch
hot surfaces, which could damage it.
10. Do not place oven on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
11. Do not use this oven for anything other than its intended purpose.

CONVECTION
Convection uses a fan to circulate heated air around food as it cooks.
Convection cooking cooks food faster and more evenly. Most recipes
recommend reducing temperatures by 25ºF or reducing cooking time using
convection.
You may select Convection with most cooking functions: Bake, Broil, Roast,
Pizza, Rotisserie, Keep Warm or Leftovers. First select the function and set
the oven temperature and time. Then press the Conv button to activate the
convection fan. The oven will display the Convection icon. You may turn on
Convection at any time as you are setting the function during preheating or
during cooking. You may turn off Convection at any time by pressing the
Conv button again.
ROTISSERIE
Put the baking pan on the rack in position 1.
When using the Rotisserie function always begin with a
cold oven and always have the baking pan in place to
catch any grease.
Press the Rotisserie button (Rotis). Select either Chicken,
Duck, Meat or Custom by turning the Selector dial and
then pressing the dial. Bake temperature will flash. Turn
Selector dial to select the temperature and press. Time
will flash. Turn the dial to adjust the time and press. Convection is preset in
all Rotisserie settings. It can be turned off at any time before or after you
press Start/Stop by pressing the Conv button. Press Start/Stop to begin the
cooking cycle and the timer will begin counting down.
Insert the food, on rotisserie spit, into the oven
before selecting the Rotisserie function. For
instruction on how to attach and truss poultry see

inside the oven. The right side has 1 notch and a slightly rounded tip. The
left side has 2 notches and a flat end. Once the spit is inserted into the
oven, press Start/Stop.
LEFT
RIGHT
11
Note that for each type of food (Chicken, Duck or Meat) the oven has a
specialized cooking program. For the first 10 minutes of every cycle, all 4
heating elements will turn on for rapid preheating. After 10 minutes and for
remainder of the cycle only the top 2 heating elements will be cycling on and
off according to the program to maintain the set oven temperature and cook
the rotisserie food to perfection. During the final phase of the programs for
Chicken, Duck and Meat, the oven temperature will be automatically
increased to enhance and crisp the poultry skin or outer surface of the food.
Use the Custom Rotisserie option to set any desired temperature and time
for other types of food such as fish, vegetables, or fruit.
The oven will beep when the cooking time has expired. The oven will shut off
and the display will revert to the clock.
Tips for cooking duck:
When using the rotisserie duck function, line the baking pan with two clean
pieces of aluminum foil, one positioned left to right and the other front to
back. The edges of the foil should be raised about ½ -inch over the pan walls
around all four edges (see the picture below). This will help reduce excess
duck grease from splattering and dripping.
Do not open the door during the last 15
minutes of the duck cooking cycle to avoid
contact with hot grease. Once the cooking
cycle has finished and the oven has turned
off, take care that the duck grease is not
bubbling in the pan or splattering when you
remove the duck. Do not remove the baking
pan until the oven and pan are fully cool.
Trussing Poultry
Tying meats ensures even cooking. It is
important to use butcher’s twine to tie items
that are to be prepared for the Rotisserie
function. First truss the item and then secure
it onto the rotisserie spit and skewers.
1. First insert the rotisserie spit into the food
for rotisserie (Fig. 1).
2. Insert the skewers at different angles to
hold the food more firmly (Fig. 2).
3. Next, install the fixing screws to secure the
meat or poultry to the rotisserie spit.
There are different methods of trussing, but all aim to achieve the same
results. Tuck the wings underneath the chicken to secure them. For trussing,
use a length of butcher’s twine that is approximately 4 or 5 times the length
of the chicken. Place the middle of the twine under the tail, bring both sides
up and cross over the top of the tail. Wrap ends of the twine around the end
of each drumstick and pull to draw the legs together, crossing ends over
each other again. Turn the bird over. Pull ends of twine up over the thighs
and wrap around the upper wings, catching the tips of the wings in the loop.
The twine is wrapped around the wing close to the body, and then both
ends are brought to the upper side. If there is a flap of skin at the neck, it is
folded up and the two ends of twine are tied over it.

Brining
Brining leaner cuts of meat such as poultry, turkey,
and pork in a saltwater solution produces juicier
roasts. The difference between brined and non-brined
meats is very noticeable. If you have the time it is
definitely recommended.
The rule to follow is to use a cup of table salt or 1½
cups kosher salt for every gallon of water.
Or, for smaller cuts of meat, ½ cup kosher salt for
every quart of water.
Simply mix salt and water together. Place item to be
brined in a non-reactive container or sealable plastic
bag large enough to completely immerse the meat.
Pour in the brine, cover, and refrigerate.
The amount of time needed to brine depends on how big the roast is.
Following is a simple guideline:
Whole chicken 3–8 hours
Chicken parts 1–2 hours
Turkey breast 4–6 hours
Game hens 1–2 hours
Pork chops 2–6 hours
Pork tenderloin 2–6 hours
Pork loin 24 hours
It is important to thoroughly rinse and dry the meat once you remove it
from the brine, so when it roasts it will be juicy, not salty.

4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
Heaters
Please note that the oven’s four heaters are programmed to turn on and off
and run at different powers for each of the functions, so you may not always
see all of the heaters glowing red. For some functions the heaters are
programmed to run at a lower power and they will not glow as bright red as
the other heaters. For example, the Bagel function uses full power on the top
heaters and half power on the bottom heaters.

Nutritional information per ser ving (based on 12 servings):
This versatile dough can be used for sweet or savory treats.
Makes two single-crust 9-inch tarts/pies, or one double-crust pie
2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
4 tablespoons ice water
1. Put flour and salt into a Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the
chopping blade. Process for 10 seconds. Add butter to work bowl and
pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in water, 1
tablespoon at a time, and pulse until a dough just forms. Divide dough
into 2 flat discs; wrap in plastic and refrigerate until ready to use.*
2. To roll and blind-bake: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the
pastry discs into an 11-inch circle that is about
the dough onto the rolling pin and unroll it evenly over a 9-inch tart
pan. Press the dough lightly into the pan, lifting the edges and working
it gently down into the corners of the pan. Trim off excess dough by
rolling the pin over the top of the pan.
1
⁄8-inch thick. Reverse

3. With your thumbs, push the dough
1
⁄8 inch above the edge of the mold,
to make an even, rounded rim of dough around the inside
circumference of the mold. You can then press a decorative edge
around the rim of the pastry with the dull edge of a knife. Chill in
refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
4. Adjust the rack to position 2. Set the oven to Bake with Convection at
350°F for 25 minutes. Using a fork, prick the dough evenly all over, but
make sure not to go entirely through the dough. Line the shell with
parchment and weigh it down with dried beans or rice. Once
preheated, place into oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the
dough under the parchment is no longer wet. Remove the beans/rice
and parchment and continue baking for the remaining 5 minutes, until
the shell is golden brown.
*Extra dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and in the
freezer for up to 2 months.

the machine running, first drop the cheese through the feed tube and
process until finely chopped. Add the garlic and shallot to finely chop.
Add the cream cheese and heavy cream; process until creamy and
smooth. Crumble the spinach over the cream cheese mixture. Add half
of the Gorgonzola and pulse about 10 times, or until well blended.
Scrape the work bowl. Add the reserved artichoke hearts and crushed
red pepper; pulse another 10 times. Transfer the mixture to the
prepared dish and then top with the remaining Gorgonzola.

minutes. Once preheated, put the filled dish into the oven and bake for
the allotted time, or until just browned on top.
6 cups tortilla chips (this is an estimate – you need enough
to cover the bottom of the baking tray, but can have more or less depending on how many mouths you
need to feed), divided
1½ to 2 cups shredded Cheddar and/or Monterey Jack, divided
¾ cup refried beans (about half of a 15.5-ounce can)
1 small to medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeño, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chiles
1 cup sliced black olives (These can be purchased pre-sliced
in a 2.25-ounce can. Be sure to drain them first.)
Salsa, guacamole and sour cream for serving
Lime wedges, for serving
1. Line the baking pan with foil. Evenly distribute half of the chips in the
prepared pan. Cover with about ½ cup of the cheese, then the
remaining chips. Top with the remaining ingredients, as evenly as
possible, finishing with the remaining cheese.
2. Adjust the rack to position 4 and place the filled tray in the oven. Set
oven to Broil for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the nachos while they are
cooking – some cheeses melt and brown more quickly than others.
3. Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole sour cream, and lime
wedges.
