SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Please read and keep these instructions handy. These instructions will help you use your Cuisinart® Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven 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 unintentionally or pulled on by children.

NOTICE

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TIPS AND HINTS

AIRFRY

TIP:

For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking/Drip Pan. AirFry can be used at 200°F – 450°F for up to 1 hour. This function is used for AirFry meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil. A high fan speed and multiple heating elements circulate hot air to prepare a variety of meals that can be both delicious and healthier than traditional frying.

• Default: 400°F; 10 minutes.
• Many foods that can be fried can be AirFried without using excess amounts of
  oil. AirFried foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods.
• AirFrying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.

AIRFRYER CHART

NOTE: AirFrying doesn’t require oil, but a light coating can enhance browning and crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning
• 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
• To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Remove any residue from cleaners with a clean, damp rag. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on the interior of the oven
• Cleaning the accessories:
• After cooking greasy foods and once your oven has cooled, always clean the top of the oven interior. If this is done regularly, your oven will perform like new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle
• To remove crumbs, slide out the front Crumb Tray and discard the 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
