BEFORE FIRST USE
Place your AirFryer Toaster Oven on a flat surface.
Before using, move oven 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
AirFry: This function is used to AirFry meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying
in oil. The AirFry function uses a combination of hot air, high fan speed and 4 upper
heating elements to prepare a variety of meals that are both delicious and healthier
than traditional frying.
Use the provided Baking Pan and AirFryer Basket when using the AirFry function.
Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan. Use Rack Position 2 for AirFrying.
Bake: Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you would normally prepare in
your conventional oven. Baked goods that require a more gentle cooking method
like cakes, muffins and pastry yield best results on Bake. Convection Bake uses a
fan to circulate heated air around food to cook faster and is ideal for even browning.
It is best used for heartier baked goods such as scones and bread and is also excel-
lent for roasts, poultry, pizza and vegetables.
Use the Baking Pan for fresh pizza (in Rack Position 1) and the rack alone if pizza is
frozen (in Rack Position 2). Or cook it on the pizza stone available for purchase on
the Cuisinart website.
Broiling/Convection Broil: 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.
Toasting: Always have the Oven Rack in Position 2, as indicated in the diagram at
right, for even toasting. Always position your item/items in the middle of the rack.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the AirFryer Toaster Oven
accessories. If covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the Drip Tray.
Grease will accumulate on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use
foil to cover the Baking Pan/Drip Tray, be sure foil is cut to neatly fit into the pan and
does not touch the wall or heating elements.
WARNING: Placing the Oven Rack in Position 1 or 2 with the rack upward
while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack position
diagram for proper use.
Turning off the AirFryer Toaster Oven: Turn BOTH the
ON/Oven Timer and the ON/Toast Timer dials to the OFF position. The power light
will turn off.
