SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and keep these instructions handy. These instructions will help
you to use your Cuisinart®Convection 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.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If an 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 FIRST USE
Place your oven on a flat surface.
Before using your oven, move it 2 to 4 inches away from the wall or from any
objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surfaces.
OBJECTS SHOULD NOT BE STORED ON THE TOP OF THE OVEN. IF THEY
ARE, 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
Pizza/Bake: This function can be used as you would normally use your kitchen
oven for roasting meats, including chicken, or for delicate baked goods like cakes
and custards.
Use the provided baking pan for making fresh pizza. When baking frozen pizza,
place directly on the rack.
Convection Bake: Convection baking uses a fan to circulate heated air around
food as it cooks. Use this function for baked goods that require even browning like
muffins, scones, cookies, pastry and bread.
Most baking recipes recommend reducing temperatures by 25 degrees when using
the convection feature. Always check doneness 10 minutes before suggested
cooking time.
Broiling: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more. It
also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins. Convection broil is best
for meats and fish, while traditional broil should be reserved for top browning.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the rack or tray. If cov-
ered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease will accumu-
late on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use foil to cover the
drip tray, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the wall
or heating elements.
Toasting: Always have the rack in the upper toasting position, as indicated in the
diagram on page 6, for even toasting. Always position your item/items in the mid-
dle of the rack.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the lower position or in the upper position with
the rack upward while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack position
diagram for proper use.
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Turn the ON/Toast Shade dial to OFF. The
indicator light will turn off.
OPERATION
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 or Convection Broil
Set temperature dial to Broil. Then set the function dial to either Broil or Conv
Broil. Turn ON Toast Shade dial to the always ON position.
To stop Broil operation, turn ON/Toast Shade dial to OFF position.
Note: Never use glass oven dishes to broil.
Pizza/Bake
If making fresh pizza, place directly in the pan in the lower position. If making
frozen pizza, place directly on the rack in the lower position. For chicken or other
large items, the pan can be in the lower position. Turn the temperature dial to the
desired temperature, turn function dial to Bake position and turn ON/Toast Shade
dial to the always ON position. The oven indicator light will turn on. You will need
to turn off the oven manually by turning the ON/Toast Shade dial to the OFF posi-
tion. Preheat oven for five to 10 minutes (time will vary depending upon desired
temperature); then begin to bake.
Convection Bake
Place the pan in upper position for baking. For chicken or other large items, the
pan can be in the lower position. Turn the temperature dial to the desired tempera-
ture, turn function dial to Convection Bake and turn ON/Toast Shade dial to the
always ON position. The oven indicator light will turn on. You will need to turn off
the oven manually by turning the ON/Toast Shade dial to the OFF position. Preheat
oven for five to 10 minutes (time will vary depending upon desired temperature);
then begin to convection bake.
Most baking recipes recommend reducing temperatures by 25 degrees when using
the convection feature. Always check 10 minutes before suggested cooking time.

Warm
To keep food warm, turn the temperature dial to Warm; turn the function dial to
Warm and set the ON/Toast Shade dial to the always ON position. The
oven indicator light will turn on. Preheat oven for five minutes.
Toast
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in the upper position, as indicated in the dia-
gram. 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.
Shade Selection
Turn temperature dial to Toast. Set function dial to Toast. Turn the ON/Toast Shade
dial to desired shade setting from light to dark within the marked settings on this
dial. This will turn on the toaster oven broiler and the oven indicator light will turn on.
Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will ring once and turn off. If you wish
to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply turn the ON/Toast Shade dial
to OFF. The toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle.
Important Notes on Toasting
The oven rack must be in the upper position 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 cleaners, 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 directly onto 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 steel wool pads,
etc., on interior of oven.
4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean and
replace. 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 should be handwashed 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.

QUESTION ANSWER
Why is my food burning? a.
Check if you are in convection mode. Convection
can speed up cooking, so you should try less
time and/or lower the temperature.
b. Adjust oven rack position. Food may be too
close to heating elements.
c. Because of its smaller capacity, countertop
ovens heat up quicker than convectional
ovens and may require less time and/or lower
temperature for cooking. .
Why would I use convection? a.
Convection uses a small fan to circulate hot air
around food for even cooking, often resulting in
quicker cook times.
Why is there condensation on the
oven door? a.
This is normal, as moisture is created from
cooking high-moisture foods; it will dissipate
during the cooking process.
Why are the heating elements
going on and off, and/or aren’t all
on at the same time?
a. Heating elements cycle on and off to achieve
temperature accuracy.
b. Different functions utilize the heating elements
differently; for instance, Broil only uses the top
heating elements.
Why isn’t my oven heating up? a.
Make sure your unit is securely plugged into a
wall outlet and the door is properly sealed.
b. Make sure to turn knob to left ON position.
c. Call Customer Service.
Why is there smoke/odor? a.
Smoke and/or odor are normal during the first
use of your oven. It will not continue after the
initial heating period.
b. If smoke and/or odor appear after first use, make
sure there is no food residue on the heating
elements (do not clean heating elements until
unit is turned off and has cooled down).
Why is only one side of my toast
toasting? a.
The unit has a Bagel function, where the top is
meant to get darker than the bottom. Make sure
you are in the right Toast function.
