2. Move the rack to center (or other
desired) position.
3. The ON Light should now be lit.
This is normal when toasting in a toaster
oven. Moisture is slower to escape from
the toaster oven than from a toaster. The
amount of moisture will differ among
fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastry.
Smoke and odor is normal during the first
use of most heating appliances.
This will not be present after the initial
heating period.
Press the STOP button. If light stays on,
unplug unit and call our toll-free cus-
tomer assistance number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment. Do
not continue to use your toaster oven.
Use the oven rack position to center food
in the oven. Adjust the oven temperature
or cooking time for best results with your
recipes. Dense frozen foods may take
longer to cook in a toaster oven than the
traditional oven cooking time shown on
the food’s package.
Please be careful. The top and sides of
oven get very hot, but this is normal.
Oven starts timing after preheat light goes
out. Oven turns off at end of set time. If
you do not set the time, it will default to
the last time selected for the last item
baked. If the unit is unplugged or power is
lost, time will default to standard function
defaults.
Toasting varies with different types of
bread, age of the bread, and location of
bread on rack or rack position.
