TIPS AND HINTS
TOAST
Use this function to toast fresh and frozen items, including bread, bagels,
waffles, pastry items, etc .
- If toast is lighter than you like after the cycle is complete, turn the Toast Dial to Light and toast bread for additional time
- For best results and more evenly toasted items:
º If toasting two slices, center them in the middle of the Wire Rack .
º Four slices should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back .
º Bread items should not overlap .
º Thicker sliced bread items may require more time .
º One slice will take less time to toast . Adjust shade accordingly .
º Put bagels on the Wire Rack with cut sides facing up for even toasting
AIRFRY
TIP: For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking
Pan . This function is used to AirFry meals as a healthy alternative to deep
frying in oil .
A high fan speed and multiple heating elements circulate hot air to cook a
variety of meals that can be a healthy and delicious alternative to
traditional frying .
-
Many foods that can be fried can be AirFried using significantly less oil . AirFried foods taste lighter and are 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 cooking spray to keep it extra light . A pastry brush can also be used to evenly coat foods with a little oil .
Alternatively, pour a little oil into a bowl, add food, and toss . -
Most oils can be used for AirFrying . Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavour .
Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavours . -
An assortment of coatings can be used on AirFried foods . Some examples of different crumb mixtures include breadcrumbs, seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes, potato chips, and graham crackers . Various flours, including gluten-free and other dry meals, like cornmeal, work as well .
-
Most foods do not need to be flipped during cooking, but larger items, like chicken cutlets, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure even cooking and browning .
-
When AirFrying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly cooked results and colour .
-
Use higher temperatures for frozen foods and lower temperatures for uncooked items .
-
Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into same-size pieces .
-
Please note that many foods release water when they cook . When cooking large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up, which could leave moisture on your countertop .
BAKE
Baking is recommended for a variety of foods you would normally prepare in a
conventional oven .
NOTE: The Bake function operates with a convection fan . As with all
convection toaster ovens, food may cook faster than in a traditional toaster
oven .
-
Cooking times and temperatures may need to be reduced—start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the
suggested cooking time to avoid overcooking or burning . -
For homemade baked goods, like cakes, breads and muffins, it is recommended to preheat the oven for 5 minutes when using the Bake function .
-
Important: All of our recipes were specially developed for the Cuisinart ® Compact AirFryer Toaster Oven and have been tested in our Cuisinart ® Test Kitchen .
PIZZA
The Pizza function can be used to cook fresh or frozen pizza .
- For fresh pizza, the recommended baking temperature is 450°F (230°C) .
- Stretch or roll the pizza dough to fit the Baking Pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray . Toppings can be added before baking or after initial browning of the pizza dough .
- On occasion, fresh pizza dough may dome, due to the high heat of the oven .
- For frozen pizza, the recommended baking temperature is 400°F (200°C) or follow manufacturer’s instructions .
- Bake frozen pizza using the baking tray or directly on the wire rack according to manufacturer’s instructions .
- Pizza recipe ideas can be found in this booklet on the Cuisinart website .
BROIL
Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish, and more . It
also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins .
- Recommended temperature is 450°F (230°C) . For best results, preheat oven for 5 minutes .
- For best results, use the provided AirFryer Basket fitted into the Baking Pan to broil .
- Never use glass oven dishes to broil .
- Be sure to keep an eye on food – items can brown quickly when broiling .
WARM
Use this function to keep food warm once cooked .
- Add Warm at the end of a cooking function so your dish is held at the proper serving temperature .
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 nonabrasive cleaners to a cloth, not directly onto the toaster oven, before cleaning .
- Accessories are not dishwasher safe . These items should be washed by hand in hot, sudsy water, or with a nylon scouring pad or brush, and thoroughly rinsed .
- After cooking greasy foods and once your oven has cooled, always clean top of oven interior . When done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new . Removing the grease will help to keep cooking consistent, cycle after cycle .
- 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 steelwoolors couringpadsontheinteriorofoven.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Operation| Why won’t my unit turn on?| Make sure your unit is plugged into a
functional outlet.
---|---|---
Make sure the oven door is closed.
Call Consumer Service at
1-800-472-7606.
Cooking| Why is my food not crispy or fried evenly?| Some foods may require
more oil than others.
If not crispy enough, lightly spray, brush, or rub more oil on the food.
Make sure food is spread evenly in a single layer in the AirFryer Basket with
no overlap. If food still overlaps, toss or flip food halfway through cooking
cycle.
Food may need additional cooking time. Make sure to check periodically until
food reaches desired brownness. Do not leave oven unattended.
Why is my food undercooked?| If you put too much food in the basket, try with
smaller batches of food and single layers, rather than stacking food on top of
each other.
The temperature might be too low. Use the Temperature Dial to increase
temperature.
Food may need additional cooking time. Make sure to check periodically until
food reaches desired brownness. Do not leave oven unattended.
Why is my food overcooked or burned?| Cooking time and temperature may need to
be reduced – start checking foods about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the
suggested cooking time.
Make sure food is spread evenly in one single layer in the AirFryer Basket
with no overlap. If food still overlaps, toss or flip food halfway through
cooking cycle.
Why does condensation and steam come out of my unit?| When preparing greasy
foods, oil may leak into the pan and produce steam.
This will not affect the unit or the end result. It may fog up the viewing
window on the sides or corners.
When preparing foods with a high moisture content, water evaporates from it
and causes condensation. This will not affect the unit or the end result. It
may fog up the viewing window on the sides or corners.
The pan, basket, or bottom oven may contain grease residue from previous use.
Make sure all accessories and oven parts are properly cleaned after each use.
Cleaning| Are the parts dishwasher safe?| Accessories are not dishwasher safe.
Hand-wash them with warm, sudsy water.
How do I clean tough-to- remove food residue from my accessories?| To remove
baked-on grease, soak the accessories in hot, sudsy water or use a nonabrasive
cleaner.

1 pound (454 g) pizza dough Scallion Cream Cheese:
4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons (30 ml) thinly sliced scallions
Pinch fine sea salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese:
4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese, softened
1 ounce (28 g) smoked salmon, chopped Baking Soda Wash:
1 cup (250 ml) warm water
1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking soda
Egg Wash:
1 large egg
1 teaspoon (5 ml) water
1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) “everything bagel” spice blend (if this
cannot be found in the store, poppy seeds or untoasted sesame seeds work
well)
- Bring pizza dough to room temperature (be sure it is covered so it does not dry out) .
- While pizza dough is resting, choose one of the cream cheese mixtures to prepare . Each of these mixtures can either be stirred together in a small bowl, or if a mini food processor/chopper is available, that can be used . If using the mini food processor/chopper to prepare the scallion cream cheese, first chop the scallions in the processor and then add the cream cheese, salt and pepper . The smoked salmon cream cheese can be prepared by first processing the cream cheese, then adding the salmon in 1-inch (2 .5 cm) pieces and finally pulsing to combine .
- Divide the rested dough into 6 pieces . Roll a piece into a small ball and then stuff with about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the filling . Fold the dough over so it completely covers the filling . Transfer to a lightly floured surface and cover with plastic wrap . Repeat with remaining dough pieces .
- Place a 6-quart (5 .6 L) saucepan filled with water over high heat and bring to a boil .
- While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the baking soda wash bystirring together the warm water and baking soda together in a small bowl . Reserve .
- Carefully slide one filled dough round into the boiling water at a time flipping each after 1½ minutes . (In most pots, three rounds can be boiled at one time . You want to be sure not to overcrowd the pot or the dough will stick together) . Boil for 3 minutes total (they should start to rise to the surface) . Allow to drain on a wire cooling rack while boiling the others
- Dip each boiled dough round into the baking soda wash and place on a clean plate . Lightly brush the bites with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with the everything bagel spice blend .
- Lightly coat the AirFryer Basket with cooking spray . Then transfer the coated bagel bites onto the basket .
- Put into the oven and set to Bake at 350°F (180°C) . Bake the bagel bites until dark and golden, approximately 12 to 15 minutes . When bagels are finished, transfer to a wire cooling rack .
