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 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 1⁄4cup water to the bottom of the
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
Set function dial to toast. Turn toast shade dial to desired browning setting.
Press “Start” 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
“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
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, 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.
All of our recipes have been tested in our kitchen and specially developed to

Broiler can do.

Pesto Cheese Twists
Serve these an appetizer, or with soup in place of crackers.

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed at room temperature for
20 to 30 minutes
1 tablespoon prepared pesto
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
1 egg white, beaten until foamy
On a lightly floured surface, roll the thawed puff pastry until it measures
10 x 12 inches; use a pastry wheel to cut the puff pastry in half crosswise.
Combine the pesto, grated cheese and half the beaten egg white (discard
the remaining egg white). Spread the pesto mixture over one of the half-
sheets using an offset spatula; top with the second half-sheet. Use a rolling
pin to lightly roll together. With the pastry wheel, cut the sheet in half
crosswise, then cut each piece into eight strips, 6 x 1⁄2inches each. Twist
each strip 3 to 4 times; pinch ends to seal. Place on a tray and refrigerate
for at least 30 minutes.
Ten minutes before baking, place the rack in position B; preheat the toaster
oven to 425ºF. Line the broiler pan (without drip tray) with a sheet of
parchment paper.
Arrange 8 puff pastry twists evenly on the parchment-lined pan. Bake for
11 to 13 minutes at 425º F until puffed and crispy. Remove from the pan
with tongs or a spatula and place on a rack to cool. Arrange the second
batch on the same pan and repeat. Serve slightly warm or at room
temperature.
