GENERAL GUIDELINES
Baking: The baking function is used as you

Broiling: Broiling can be used for beef, chicken,
pork, fish and more . Broiling can also be used
to top-brown casseroles and gratins . Caution:
Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering
the broiling pan . Foil is extremely dangerous
when broiling fatty foods . Grease will
accumulate and may catch fire . We don’t
recommend the use of foil, but if foil is used to
cover drip tray, be sure foil is tucked neatly
around the pan and does not touch the walls or
heating rods . Never cover crumb tray .
Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position
B, as indicated in the diagram on page 11, for
even toasting . Always center your item/items in
the middle of the rack .
WARNINg: Placing the rack in the bottom
position or in the top position with the rack
turned upward while toasting may result in a fire .
Refer to rack position diagram for proper use .
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: The Start/
Stop button, when pushed the first time, will
start the oven . When pushed the second time,
during oven operation, the Start/Stop button will
turn the oven off . You will know the oven is off

tray is in place and that there is nothing in the

BROIL
Note: When broiling, add approximately ¼ cup
water to the bottom of the baking pan/drip tray
to reduce sizzling and splatter . Place the broiling
pan in the drip tray . Note: there are two
positions for the broiling pan so that a variety of
thicknesses of foods can be broiled . Also, the
oven rack can be turned up or down depending
