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 customer 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.
Call Customer Service. See Warranty for
numbers.
