IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. UNPLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE, BEFORE
PUTTING ON OR TAKING OFF PARTS AND BEFORE
CLEANING. Allow to cool before cleaning or handling.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs
or place any part of the toaster oven broiler in water or other
liquids. See instructions for cleaning on page 9.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
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
intended purpose.
12. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers
constructed of materials other than metal or glass in the toaster
oven broiler.
13. To avoid burns, use extreme caution when removing tray or
disposing of hot grease.
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 except the
baking pan 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, walls and the
like 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. Do not rest cooking utensils or baking dishes on glass door.
23. Where applicable, always attach plug to appliance and check that
the cooking cycle is stopped before plugging cord into wall
outlet. To disconnect, press the START/STOP button to cancel
the cooking cycle, then remove plug from wall outlet.
24. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a
wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always
unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls
of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
