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.  
BEFORE THE FIRST USE  
Before using your Cuisinart® Combo Steam + Convection Oven for the first  
time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the base, cover and controls  
with a damp cloth.  
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.  
Be sure to thoroughly clean all accessories before first use. The oven rack,  
baking pan, broiling rack and crumb tray are dishwasher safe. Rinse water  
reservoir in hot, sudsy water. Be sure to thoroughly clean all accessories  
before each use.  
Before using your Cuisinart® Combo Steam + Convection Oven, make sure  
it is two to four inches away from the wall or from any items on the  
countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surfaces. DO NOT STORE ITEMS  
ON TOP OF THE OVEN. IF YOU DO, REMOVE THEM BEFORE YOU TURN  
YOUR OVEN ON. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE.  
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.  
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). 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.
