Return the toaster oven broiler to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart® may cause injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the 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.
- Do not place the toaster oven broiler on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

- Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and similar products.

- Where applicable, always attach the plug to the appliance and check that the function dial is off before plugging the cord into a wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the function dial to off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
SPECIAL CORDSET 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 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 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: The 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, and two in back. Six items should be evenly spaced – three in front, three in back. Close the glass door. Set the function dial to TOAST. - Shade Selection:
Turn the 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.

Set the function dial to BAGEL. - Shade Selection:
Turn the toast shade dial to desired browning setting. Press Start/Stop button to begin toasting. - Stop Toasting:

To broil, turn the temperature dial to BROIL and turn the 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 the broil operation, turn the function dial to the OFF position.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
- Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.
- 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 to the toaster oven, before cleaning.
- 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 the interior of the oven.
- To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe clean and replace. The 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.
- Wire rack, baking pan, and crumb tray are dishwashers safe. If heavily soiled, soak in hot sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush.
- Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats on the back of the oven.
- Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
IMPORTANT
After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean the top interior of the oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep the toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.

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.

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.
