5. UNPLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE AND BEFORE CLEANING. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.

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.

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 and 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 on page 6, 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 top brown 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. Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Turn the function dial to OFF.

The indicator light will turn off.

OPERATION

Toast:

To toast, make sure the oven rack is in rack position C, 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. Close the glass door. Set function dial to TOAST.

Shade Selection: Turn toast shade dial to desired browning setting. Press Start/Stop button to begin toasting.

Stop Toasting:

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. The toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle.

Bagel

To toast a bagel, make sure the oven rack is in rack position C 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. Close the glass door. Set function dial to BAGEL.

Shade Selection: Turn toast shade dial to desired browning setting. Press Start/Stop button to begin toasting.

Stop Toasting:

Bake

To bake, turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature and turn function dial to BAKE. The oven indicator light will turn on. Allow the oven to preheat for at least five minutes before putting food in the oven to bake.

Broil:

To broil, turn the temperature dial to BROIL and turn function dial to BROIL. The oven indicator light will turn on. Allow the oven to preheat for at least five minutes before putting food in the oven to broil.

Note: When broiling place the broiling rack in the drip pan. In most cases the oven rack should be in the higher position (position C, but for thicker items use position B; see diagram on this page).

Note: Never use glass oven dishes to broil. To stop broil operation, turn function dial to OFF position

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. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.

WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Custom Classic™ Toaster Oven Broiler that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart® Custom Classic™ Toaster Oven Broiler will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase.

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.

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. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling of such nonconforming products under warranty.
