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.
INTRODUCTION
Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their
use.
Get ready to enjoy all the benefits of a
real brick oven right at home! Bread and
pizza crusts will be lighter and crispier,
chickens will roast to a perfect golden
brown, and your pies will be the talk of
the town! Cuisinart lets you decide which
method to use in cooking family favorites
or company cuisine. We’ve even included
some of our favorite brick oven recipes in
case you run out of your own. Have fun
savoring even more of the good life, with
Cuisinart!
If a long 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 counter top 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.

various levels. For best results with
conventional baking, do not use more
than one rack at a time.
To bake, turn the temperature dial to the
desired temperature and turn function dial
to bake position. Make sure oven rack is
in position B – see rack position diagram
above. The oven indicator light will turn
on. Preheat oven for five to ten minutes
(time will vary depending upon desired
temperature); then begin to bake.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Place your oven on a flat surface.
Before using your oven, move it two to
four inches away from the wall and from
any objects on the countertop. Do not
use on heat-sensitive surface.
Baking Stone
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.
To bake with the baking stone, preheat
the oven with the stone for 30 minutes.
Use the baking stone when baking bread,
pizza dough, pies and tarts; use
whenever you want a firm, crispy bottom
on your baked goods.
CONVECTION BAKING
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.
Convection baking/roasting uses a fan
to circulate heated air around food as
it cooks.
The convection/bake function can be
used for all the same functions as
conventional bake or roast, but will
cook faster and more efficiently. With
convection baking the key is the airflow,
so it is important to use the right cooking
pan and place it in the oven as directed
in the rack position diagram.
OVEN RACK POSITIONS
Position A
Position B
For best results use cookie sheets with
no sides and baking dishes, baking
stones and roasting pans with very low
sides to let maximum airflow reach food.
For the same reason, do not cover foods
while cooking.
Most baking recipes recommend
reducing temperatures by 25 degrees
when using the convection feature.
Always check for doneness 10 minutes
before suggested cooking time.
Position C
For roasting larger items such as poultry
or roasts, use the recommended
temperature but reduced cooking time.
Start checking progress 20 to 30 minutes
before end-cook time.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
BAKING
The baking function can be used as you
would normally use your kitchen oven
for roasting meats, including chicken, or
baking cakes, cookies and more.
To convection bake: Turn the temperature
dial to desired temperature and turn
function dial to convection/bake position.
Your brick oven is equipped with two
oven racks and rack positions. The racks
can be easily removed and arranged at

oven will beep and turn off. If you wish
to stop the toasting cycle before it is
finished, simply press the stop button.
The toaster oven broiler will cancel your
toast cycle.
When using the baking tray in the bottom
rack position, center it so air flows in
back, as well as front of oven.
Important Notes on Toasting
The oven rack must be in position B as
indicated in the rack position diagram on
page 5.
BROILING
The broiling function can be used for beef,
chicken, pork, fish and more. It also can
be used to top-brown casseroles and
gratins. Use caution while broiling:
Aluminum foil is not recommended for
covering the broiling pan when broiling,
because it will cover the holes in the drip
tray. When broiling fatty foods, grease
will accumulate and may cause a fire.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom
position or in the top position with the
rack upward while toasting may result in
a fire. Refer to rack position diagram for
proper use.
ROTISSERIE
There are two positions for the broiling
pan and drip tray to accommodate a
variety of thicknesses of foods to be
broiled (positions A and B). Also, the oven
rack can be turned up or down (position
C) depending on the thickness of the food
being broiled. In most cases the oven
rack should be in the higher position.
When using the rotisserie function, it is
helpful to line the baking tray with foil
and place it in the bottom back position
to catch drips. Start the rotisserie in a
cold oven.
When using the rotisserie function, items
should not exceed 4 lbs.
To ensure even cooking, firmly tie meat
and poultry with butcher’s twine or string
before securing to rotisserie skewers.
To broil, set temperature and function
dials to broil. Preheat oven for five
minutes with door closed. After the five
minute preheat period, place the broiling
pan in the oven. Always leave the door
ajar when broiling.
For crispy skin, leave door ajar for the last
15 minutes of cooking time.
To use the rotisserie function properly,
please follow the diagrams below:
To stop broil operation: turn function
dial to off position.

in the middle of the rack. Four items
should be evenly spaced – two in front,
two in back. Six items – three in front,
three in back. Door should be closed.

1. Always allow the oven to cool
completely before cleaning.
2. Always unplug the oven from the
electrical outlet before cleaning.
6. Place the
rotisserie
skewer through
the center of
the roast or
chicken.

3. Do not use abrasive cleansers, 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.
7. Insert the
rotisserie forks
on either side
of the roast or
chicken and
secure with the
rotisserie
screws to hold
the roast or
chicken firmly
in place.

4. Where there are no bricks, the walls
are coated with a nonstick interior. 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 metal

9. Set the function to Rotisserie.
10. Set the temperature as specified
in recipe.
6. Wire rack, broiling pan and baking/
drip tray are dishwasher-safe. If
heavily soiled, soak in hot sudsy
water or use a nylon scouring pad or
nylon brush.
11. Cook according to instructions.
12. To remove cooked food: Using the
rotisserie lift handle, hook the grips on
the skewer and carefully lift food out of
the oven. Always use a potholder or
oven mitt when removing hot food
from oven.
Never wrap the cord around the outside
of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats
on the back of the oven.
To clean the baking stone
Note: The ends of the rotisserie skewers
are marked with L for left side and R for
right side of oven. Use this as a guide for
inserting the assembled rotisserie into the
sockets.
The baking stone is oven and freezer safe;
however, to prevent cracking it, do not
subject the stone to extreme temperature
variations such as from freezer directly to
oven, or from oven to cold water.
ꢅ

Do not use the stone on an open flame.
Allow the stone to cool before cleaning.
To remove baked-on foods, scrape with
a wooden or plastic spatula and rinse in
warm water. Do not soak or clean in
dishwasher or wash with detergent or
soapy water; the stone may absorb the
taste and smell of the detergent. Let the
stone air-dry completely before your next
use.
Your baking stone will darken and retain
some staining with continued use over
time. This is normal and part of the
stone’s natural seasoning process; it will
not affect its cooking performance nor
affect the taste of the food.
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.

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

*A “butcher’s cut” standing rib roast is the
easiest to carve. The butcher removes the
chine bone and separate the meat from the
bones to create a boneless rib roast. Then
the meat is tied onto the bone cradle with
butcher’s twine for roasting. This allows for
the flavor from the bones, and keeps the
meat moist. Fat should be trimmed to a ¼-
inch thickness.
