SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and keep these instructions handy. These instructions will
help you to use your Cuisinart® Toaster Oven Broiler to its fullest so that
you will achieve consistent, professional results.
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 6, 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 position.
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
When broiling, add approximately ¼ cup water to the bottom of the
broiling pan to reduce sizzling and splattering. Place the broiling pan in
the drip tray. Note: There are two positions for the broiling pan 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 6).
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.
Caution: 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 6. 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 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. Turn toast shade dial to desired browning
setting. Press Start button to begin toasting.
5
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 Stop button. The toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast
cycle.
Important: The oven rack must be in rack position B as indicated in the
diagram on this page.
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 metal scouring 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, 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.
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.

RECIPES
Jammy Muffins
Get your ingredients all ready to mix the night before – combine dry
ingredients and cover; combine egg, milk, yogurt and vanilla; cover and
refrigerate. In the morning mix and bake for fresh warm muffins.
Makes 6 regular muffins
1½ teaspoons + 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
cooking spray
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¹⁄8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
¼ cup lowfat milk
2 tablespoons plain lowfat yogurt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons jam or marmalade (not jelly)
Place the rack in position A, preheat toaster oven to 400°F. Combine 1½
teaspoons granulated sugar with cinnamon and reserve. Lightly coat a
standard 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Place flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir to blend. Place egg in a small
bowl and stir until smooth. Add milk and yogurt to beaten egg and stir
until smooth, then stir in vanilla. Add the liquid mixture to the dry
ingredients and whisk until just smooth – do not overmix – the muffins
can become tough and rubbery. Divide the batter evenly among the
prepared muffin cups. Top each in the center with about ¾ teaspoon
jam or marmalade. Sprinkle muffins with the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Bake in toaster oven for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the muffin tin after
approximately 9 minutes. Turn out onto a rack and cool for at least
5 to 10 minutes (the jam will be hot enough to burn) before serving.
