IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not place any part of the toaster
oven broiler in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
4. This appliance should not be used by or near children.
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.
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

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 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, 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, involving a risk of electric shock.
20. Do not attempt to dislodge food when the toaster oven broiler is plugged
into electrical outlet.
21. Warning: To avoid possibility of fire, NEVER leave toaster oven broiler
unattended during use.
22. Use recommended temperature settings for baking and roasting.
23. Do not rest cooking utensils or baking dishes on glass door.
24. Turn the function dial to the off position to turn off toaster oven broiler.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a long 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.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Place your oven on a flat surface.
Before using your oven, move it two to four inches away from the wall or
from any objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surface.
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
Baking: Baking function can be used as you would normally use your
kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or baking cakes,
cookies and more.
Broiling: 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 tray. Foil is extremely dangerous
when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch fire. The use
of foil is not recommended, but if foil is used to cover broiling pan, be sure foil
is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods.
Never cover crumb tray.
Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position “B”, as indicated in the
diagram on page 5, for even toasting. Always center your item/items in the
middle of the rack.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom position or in the top position
with the rack upwards while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack
position diagram for proper use.
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Turn the function dial to off. The
indicator will turn off.
USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that there
is nothing in the oven. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.
Broil
Note: When broiling, add approximately
broiling pan to reduce sizzling and splattering. Place the drip tray in the
broiling pan. Note: There are two positions for the drip tray so that a variety of
thicknesses of foods can be broiled. Also, the oven rack can be turned up or
down depending on the thickness of the food being broiled. In most cases the
oven rack should be in the higher position (position “C” – see rack position
diagram on page 5).
To broil, set temperature and function dials to broil. Preheat oven for five
minutes with door closed. After the five-minute preheat period, place the
broiling pan in the oven. Always leave door ajar when broiling.
Note: Never use glass oven dishes to broil.
To stop broil operation, turn function dial to off position.
Bake
To bake, turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature and turn
function dial to bake position. Make sure oven rack is in position “A” – see
rack position diagram on page 5. The oven indicator light will turn on.
Preheat oven for five to ten minutes (time will vary depending upon desired
temperature); then begin to bake.
Toast
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in rack position “B”, as indicated in
the diagram on page 5. 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.
Browning Selection

If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the
“Stop” button. The toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle.
Important Notes on Toasting
The oven rack must be in rack position “B” as indicated in the diagram
on this page.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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.
All of our recipes have been tested in our kitchen and specially developed to
work in the Cuisinart
recipes are just a sampling of what the Cuisinart
Broiler can do.
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
OVEN RACK POSITION DIAGRAMS
Each recipe gives you step-by-step
directions and will even tell you
where the oven rack should be
positioned for best results.
Please refer to the diagram
for oven rack positions.
Each position is described with
a letter that is referred to in
the recipe.
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, broiling pan and drip 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.
