INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer extension
cords may be used if care is exercised.
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
INTRODUCTION
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will 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
modify the plug in any way.
Cuisinart is about to change the way
you cook some of your favorite foods.
Once you vertically rotisserie your first
chicken, you’ll never go back! Juices
get locked in and fat drains off.
Designed to efficiently cook and
evenly brown everything from roasts
to vegetables to shish kebabs, this is
a countertop cooker you are going
to love.
IMPORTANT
Never operate rotisserie without
chrome insert in place.

Cooking with the Skewers
CLEANING
1. Put the poultry tower onto the drip
tray.
1. Unplug your Cuisinart® Vertical
Rotisserie and let it cool.
2. Take the roasting rack
and place it upside
down on the poultry
tower.
2. Wash all accessories in hot soapy
water with a mild detergent and towel
dry, or place them in the dishwasher
to clean.
3. Put any combination
of meats, vegetables
or fruits onto the
skewers.
3. Never use abrasive or strong
household cleaners that will damage
the finish of the accessories.
4. Hook the loaded
skewers onto the
rings, evenly
distributing the
weight.
4. To clean "chrome insert", use a non-
abrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami®
Polishing Cleaner to remove baked on
stains.
4. To clean the base, inside and outside,
and interior oven walls, use a damp
cloth or sponge.
5. Lift the drip tray
carefully, and place
the assembled
skewers into the
Vertical Rotisserie.
5. Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
Cooking with the Roasting Rack
1. Place the roasting rack on the drip
tray.
2. Center the meat
vertically over the
rack, with the thickest
part on top, and slide
it down until it rests
firmly on the stand.
3. Place the assembly
into the Vertical
Rotisserie.
NOTE: When the meat is removed from
the rotisserie, allow it to sit for 5 to 10
minutes before carving. This allows
juices to settle into the meat and
produces a more moist roast.

on to allow you to keep an eye on food
as it’s cooking. Press the Light button
on the control panel to turn light on, and

This warranty excludes all incidental or
WARRANTY
LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY
consequential damages. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so
this limitation may not apply to you.
This warranty is available to consumers only.
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart®
Vertical Rotisserie that was purchased at retail
for personal, family or household use. Except
as otherwise required under applicable law, this
warranty is not available to retailers or other
commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart® Vertical
Rotisserie will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship under normal home use for 3 years
from the date of original purchase.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store
where it was purchased or (B) to another retail
store that sells Cuisinart® products of the same
type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either
repair the product, refer the consumer to an
independent repair facility, replace the product,
or refund the purchase price less the amount
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage
of the product. If the above two options do not
result in the appropriate 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
and not the consumer will be responsible for
the reasonable cost of such service, repair,
replacement, or refund for nonconforming
products under warranty.
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed
product registration card promptly to facilitate
verification of the date of original purchase.
However, return of the product registration card
does not eliminate the need for the consumer to
maintain the original proof of purchase in order to
obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you
do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase
date for purposes of this warranty will be the date
of manufacture.
If your Cuisinart® Vertical Rotisserie should prove
to be defective within the warranty period, we will
repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To
obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free
number 1-800-726-0190 for additional information
from our Customer Service Representatives, or
send the defective product to Customer Service
at Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road, East Windsor, NJ
08520.
California residents may also, according to their
preference, return nonconforming products
directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service
Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the
repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for
such products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR
CUISINART® PRODUCT
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your
return, please enclose $10.00 for shipping and
handling of the product.
If you are experiencing problems with your
Cuisinart® product, we suggest that you call our
Cuisinart® Service Center at 1-800-726-0190
before returning the product to be serviced. If
servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm
whether the product is under warranty and direct
you to the nearest service location.
Please pay by check or money order (California
residents need only supply proof of purchase
and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping
instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling
of any Cuisinart® product that is being returned,
we recommend you use a traceable, insured
delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held
responsible for in-transit damage or for packages
that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged
products are not covered under warranty. Please
be sure to include your return address, daytime
phone number, description of the product defect,
product model number (located on bottom of

be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s
Authorized Service Center, please remind the
servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with
the correct parts, and the product is still under
