3. Set the Function Knob to TOAST or
BAKE/TOAST.
4. Set Timer Knob to desired toast
color. To set Timer
properly, always
rotate past the 10
minute mark and
then rotate back
to the toasting
symbol that repre-
sents the desired toast color.
This will ensure that the timer
operates correctly and safely.
NOTE: Due to the height and depth
of this oven, you will experience
longer toast times than you would in
a smaller oven or in a toaster.

toast cycle. To stop toasting before
the cycle is complete, turn Timer
Knob to OFF.
6. When finished, turn OFF. Unplug
from outlet.

Toasting Tips
This oven retains heat very well. When
making more than one batch of toast,
the toast shade selector should be set
to a lighter color on the second batch
to get the same shade of toast as the
first.
• To toast bread, place bread 1
1 ⁄
2
inch-
es (4 cm) from the front edge of rack.
• To toast bagels, place oven rack in
the high position and place bagels
cut side facing up. This will toast the
cut side more than the outside of the
bagel. Set Toast Shade Selector to
the Medium setting.
• To toast English muffins, place oven
rack in the middle position and place
English muffins with the split side
facing up. Set Toast Shade Selector
to a Medium setting.
• To toast regular toaster pastry,
frozen pastry, or waffles, place oven
rack in the middle position. Select a
light color and toast directly on the
oven rack. If pastry has a glaze of
frosting, use baking pan.
• When toasting, condensation may
form on the oven door. A toaster oven
is enclosed so the moisture is slow to
escape. After toasting, wipe door to
dry and make clean-up easier.
• When the bell sounds at the end of
the cycle, remove toast immediately
or the heat remaining in the toaster
oven will continue to toast and dry
out your toast.
• The number of slices of bread, the
bread freshness, and the starting
temperature of the oven will affect
toast color. If the oven is already hot,
select a lighter shade of toast than
normal. Adjust the Toast Shade
Selector to achieve the desired color.
