BEFORE FIRST USE
Place your oven on a flat surface.
Before using your oven, move it two to four inches away from the wall or
from any objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surface.
OBJECTS SHOULD NOT BE STORED ON THE TOP OF THE OVEN.
IF THEY ARE, REMOVE ALL OBJECTS BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR
OVEN. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE. KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Baking: Baking function can be used as you would normally use your
kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or baking cakes,
cookies and more.
Broiling: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and
more. It also can be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins. Caution:
Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the broiling rack. If covered,
the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease will accumu-
late on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use foil to cover
the drip tray/baking pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and
does not touch the wall or heating elements.
Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position B, as indicated in the
diagram on page 6, for even toasting. Always position your item/items i
n the middle of the rack.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom position or in the top position
with the rack upward while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack
position diagram for proper use.
Turning off the compact toaster oven broiler: Turn the timer dial to Off.
The indicator light will turn off.
OPERATION
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that there
is nothing in the oven. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.
Broil
NOTE: When broiling, add approximately 1 ⁄
4
cup water to the bottom of
the drip tray to reduce sizzling and splattering. Place the broiling rack in
the drip tray. The oven rack can be turned up or down depending on the
thickness of the food being broiled. In most cases the oven rack should be
in the higher position (position C – see rack position diagram on page 6).
To broil, set temperature and function dials to broil. Turn ON/Toast shade
dial to the ON position. Put food on the broiling rack and set in the drip tray.
Place tray on the oven rack.
To stop broil operation, turn dial to Off position.
NOTE: Never use glass oven dishes to broil.
Bake
To bake, turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature, turn
function dial to bake position and turn ON/Toast shade dial to the ON
position. The oven indicator light will turn on. Preheat oven for three to five
minutes (time will vary depending upon desired temperature); then begin
to bake. You will need to turn off the oven manually by turning the ON/
Toast shade dial to the OFF position.
Warm
To keep food warm, turn the temperature dial to Warm; turn the function dial to
warm position and set the ON/Toast shade dial to the always ON position. The
oven indicator light will turn on. Place food on the wire rack or in the baking
pan. When warming, we recommend placing oven rack in the B position,
(see rack position diagram on page 6). You will need to turn off the oven
manually by turning the ON/Toast shade dial to the OFF position.
Toast
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in position B (as indicated in the diagram
on page 6.) If toasting two items, center them in the middle of the rack. four
items should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back.
Shade Selection
Turn temperature dial to Toast/Broil. Set function dial to Toast. Turn the ON/
Toast shade dial to desired shade setting from light to dark within the marked
settings on this dial. This will turn on the compact toaster oven broiler and the
oven indicator light will turn on.
Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will ring once and turn off.
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply turn the
ON/Toast shade dial to Off. The compact toaster oven broiler will cancel
your toast cycle.
Important Notes on Toasting
The oven rack must be in position B as indicated in the diagram on page 6.
Do not position rack in the bottom position or in the top position with rack
facing upward.
