READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Remove and safely discard any packing

materials and promotional labels before
using the oven for the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug
of this appliance.

• Do not place the oven near the edge of a

bench or table during operation. Ensure
the surface is level, clean and free of
water, flour, etc.

• Always operate the oven on a stable,

heat resistant surface. Do not use on a
cloth-covered surface, near curtains or
other flammable materials.

• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or

touches flammable material, including
curtains, draperies, walls, and the like,
when in operation.

• Do not place the oven on or near a hot

gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch another heated oven.

• Do not let the power cord hang over

the edge of a table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces .

• To protect against electric shock do not

immerse the oven, power cord or power
plug in water or any other liquid.

• When operating the oven, keep a

minimum distance of 4” (10cm) of space
on both sides of the appliance. This
will allow for adequate air circulation
and help prevent the possibility of wall
discoloration due to radiated heat.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Appliance

surfaces, including the door and outer
surface of the oven are hot during and

after operation. To prevent burns or
personal injury, always use protective
hot pads or insulated oven mitts, or use
handles and knobs where available,
when inserting, removing or handling
items from the oven. Alternatively, allow
the oven to cool down before handling.

• Extreme caution must be used when

removing pans, dishes and accessories
such as the included broil rack and
baking pan, that contain hot oil or other
hot liquids.

• The glass of the oven door has been

specially treated to make it stronger,
more durable and safer than ordinary
glass, however it is not unbreakable.
If struck extremely hard, it may brea k
or weaken, and could at a later time,
shatter into many small pieces without
apparent cause.

• Do not leave the door standing open for

extended periods of time when the oven
is turned ON.

• The top of the oven is very hot during

and after operation. Do not store
any item on top of the oven when in
operation. The only exceptions are
described on Page 45 - one layer of
ceramic plates for warming, and the any
accessory provided by Breville for use in
the ribbed section on top of the oven. If
the ribbed section is used as a warming
tray during operation, protective hot
pads or insulated oven mitts should
be used when removing heated items.
Alternatively, allow the oven to cool
down before handling.

• Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper, or

other flammable materials in the oven.

• Caution should be exercised when

cooking foods with high oil content
such as pine nuts and walnuts. Broiling
these foods; cooking them for extended
periods of time or at high temperatures
may create a fire risk.

• In the event that any foods catch fire

in the oven, keep the oven door closed.
Turn the oven off and unplug from the
power outlet. Wait until the fire goes out
before opening the oven door.

• Caution should be exercised when using

pans and dishes constructed of materials
other than metal. If using ceramic or
glass pans or dishes it is important that
they are oven safe to prevent cracking.

• Caution should be exercised when using

lids in the oven, as pressure build up
in a covered pan or dish may cause hot
ingredients to expel or the dish to crack.

• Oversized foods and metal utensils must

not be inserted in the oven as they may
create fire or risk of electric shock.

• Metal utensils such as knives should not

be inserted in the oven to remove food
residue from the quartz tube elements.
This can damage the elements as well as
lead to electrocution.

• It is recommended to use only the

accessories supplied with this oven.
When broiling, the broil rack must be
inserted into the supplied baking pan.

• The use of any accessory attachments

not recommended by Breville may
cause injuries.

• Do not use the toast function for

purposes other than toasting foods.

• Do not place hands inside the oven

during operation.

• This appliance is for household use only.

• Do not use the appliance for anything

other than its intended purpose as
described in this booklet. Do not use
outdoors. Do not use in moving vehicles
or boats.

• Do not attempt to operate the oven by

any method other than those described
in this booklet.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended

when in use.

• Close supervision is necessary when the

appliance is used by or near children.

• This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• To turn OFF the oven, press the

START/CANCEL button on the control
panel. The oven is OFF when the button
surround illumination is OFF and LCD
is blue.

• To disconnect from the wall outlet, first

turn OFF the oven, and then remove the
power plug from the wall outlet.

• When the oven is not in use or when left

unattended, disconnect the oven from
the wall outlet.

• Before attempting to move the oven,

or before assembling or disassembling
parts, cleaning or storing, turn OFF the
oven, allow to cool, and disconnect from
the wall outlet.

• Strictly follow the Care and Cleaning

instructions on Page 47. Do not clean
with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
break off the pad and touch electrical
parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

• Regularly clean the crumb tray to

discard crumbs. Ensure to turn OFF the
oven, remove the power plug from the
wall outlet and allow the oven to cool
before pulling the crumb tray out.

• Always ensure the crumb tray is

thoroughly dried after cleaning. Ensure

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• Do not store any materials other than

the supplied accessories in the oven
when not in use.

• This appliance is equipped with a

power cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The appliance
must be grounded using a 3-hole
properly grounded outlet. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock.

• If the power outlet is a standard

2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord or use an adapter.

• Consult a qualified electrician if

the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

• The installation of a residual current

device (safety switch) is recommended
to provide additional safety protection
when using electrical appliances. It
is advisable that a safety switch with
a rated residual operation current
not exceeding 30mA be installed in
the electrical circuit supplying the
appliance. See your electrician for
professional advice.

• Regularly inspect the supply cord, plug

and actual appliance for any damage. Do
not operate if damaged in anyway or after
the appliance malfunctions. Immediately
cease use of the appliance and visit
www.Breville.com or call Breville
Customer Service at 1-866-BREVILLE for
examination, repair or adjustment.

• For any maintenance other than

cleaning, visit www.Breville.com
or call Breville Customer Service at
1-866-BREVILLE.

• Your Breville appliance comes with

a unique Assist Plug™, conveniently
designed with a finger hole in the
power plug for easy and safe removal
from the wall outlet. For safety reasons
it is recommended you plug your
Breville appliance directly into its own
electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit
separate from other appliances. If the
electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not
function properly. Use in conjunction
with a power strip or extension cord is
not recommended.

SHORT CORD
INSTRUCTIONS

Your Breville appliance is fitted with a short
power supply cord as a safety precaution
to prevent personal injury or property
damage resulting from pulling, tripping or
becoming entangled with a longer cord.
Do not allow children to use or be near this
appliance without close adult supervision.
If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally and (3) the extension
cord must include a 3-prong grounding plug.

OVEN FUNCTIONS

TOAST FUNCTION: Evenly toasts bread so
it’s crisp and crunchy on the outside, while
soft and moist on the inside.

Rack Position: Middle
Optional Settings:

FROZEN

FOODS button.

NOTE

During the toasting cycle,
condensation may form on the oven
door and steam may be emitted. This
is normal - caused by the moisture
content of the bread. Freshly baked
and frozen breads generally produce
more condensation and steam.

BAGEL FUNCTION: Crisps the insides of

your cut bagel while only lightly toasting
the outside.

Rack Position: Middle
Optional Settings:

FROZEN

FOODS button.

NOTE

The upside of the bagel must always
face upwards towards the top heating
elements - so the top side becomes
crisp while the crust is only lightly
toasted.

BAKE FUNCTION: Bakes cakes, muffins,

brownies and pastries evenly throughout.
Also is ideal for cooking pre-packaged
frozen meals including lasagna and pies.

NOTE

When Broiling, the Breville Broil
rack must be inserted into the
Breville baking pan. When assembled
together, the Broil rack is designed to
drain grease and fats away from meats
for healthier cooking. The baking
pan collects these pan drippings and
helps prevent spattering. Depending
on the food being Broiled, it may be
necessary to turn food over half way
through the cooking time to achieve
even cooking and browning.

A NOTE ON COOKING TIMES

The Breville Compact Smart Oven™ features
Element IQ™ - a unique cooking technology
that adjusts the power of the cooking
elements for optimum results.

Broil

High temperature top heat, and low
temperature bottom heat: melts and browns.

Toast

Searing top and bottom heat: seals and crisps.

Bake

Even heating: cooks right through.

It is normal to notice the following occur
during the cooking cycle:

• It is normal that during the broil

function, the bottom set of elements
turn off while the top set is heating at
full power.

• It is normal that the ends of each heating

element will glow more brightly than the
middle of the element.

• It is normal that the elements are

heating even if they are not lighting up.

This cooking technology allows foods to
cook more evenly and quickly, significantly
reducing cooking times. The oven’s preset
cooking temperatures and times, as well as
the cooking temperature and time directions
on pre-packaged foods, may need to be
changed depending on the recipe, the
amount of food and your personal taste.

We recommend experimenting with the
temperature and time settings to produce
the desired results.

The cooking temperature and time can be
adjusted before or during the cooking cycle.

Pressing the center of the TEMP/TIME
dial changes the display on the LCD screen
from TEMPERATURE to TIME and vice
versa; while rotating the dial increases or
decreases the TEMPERATURE or TIME.

NOTE

The TEMP/TIME dial also functions as
the Darkness and Slice selection control
on the TOAST and BAGEL functions.

a) To change the cooking temperature,

press the center of the TEMP/TIME
dial until the LCD screen displays the
temperature screen.

• Turn the dial to the left to reduce the

temperature, or to the right to increase
the temperature.

• The cooking temperature can be

adjusted in 10°F increments, from
120°F to a maximum of 450°F (or in
the Celsius mode, 5°C increments, from
50°C to a maximum 230°C).

b) To change the cooking time, press the

center of the TEMP/TIME dial until the
LCD screen displays the time screen.

• Turn the dial to the left to reduce the

cooking time, or to the right to increase
the cooking time.

• The cooking time can be adjusted in

one minute increments up to 1 hour, and
in 5 minute increments between 1 and
2 hours.

A NOTE ON RACK HEIGHT POSITIONS

Cooking results are significantly affected
by the position of the wire rack as this
determines how close the food is to the
heating elements. We highly recommend
following the rack height position for each
function as printed on the right hand side
of the oven door’s glass window. However,
these are a guide only. Certain foods may
require a different rack height position
depending on the recipe, the amount and
size of the food and your personal taste.

18 19

BEFORE FIRST USEBEFORE FIRST USE

Top rack height position: BROIL and
BAGEL functions.

Middle rack height position: TOAST, PIZZA
and COOKIE functions.

Bottom rack height position: BAKE, ROAST,
and REHEAT functions.

NOTE

When using metal foil to cover
accessories, pans, and dishes, it is
recommended that the wire rack be
in the middle or bottom rack height
position. This is to minimize the risk
of the metal foil coming into contact
with the top heating elements.

For optimum cooking results:

• The wire rack should always be inserted

into the rack height position with the
spokes facing upwards.

• Food should be positioned on the center

of the wire rack, Broil rack or baking tray
to let maximum airflow reach the food.

2. If toasting 1-2 slices, center the slices

on the wire rack. If toasting 3-4 slices,
evenly space them with 1-2 slices at the
front of the wire rack and 1-2 slices at the
back of the rack.

3. Close the oven door.

4. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the

indicator reaches the TOAST function.
The left figure on the LCD screen
indicates the preset browning or
‘Darkness’ setting ‘4’, while the right
figure on the LCD screen indicates the
preset number of slices ‘2’.

5. The browning setting and number of

slices can be adjusted before or during
the toasting cycle.

a) To change the browning setting,

press the center of the TEMP/TIME
(Darkness/Slices) dial until the LCD
screen displays a flashing ‘DARKNESS’.

Turn the dial to the left to reduce the
browning setting, or to the right to
increase the browning setting.

NOTE

The browning settings range from
‘1’ (lightest) to ‘7’ (darkest).

As a general guide:

DESIRED TOAST COLOR SETTING

Light colour toast
Medium colour toast
Dark colour toast

1 or 2
3, 4 or 5
6 or 7

When using the TOAST function for the
first time, we recommend toasting on
the preset browning setting ‘4’ so you
can adjust the browning setting to your
preference - considering the type, thickness
and freshness of the bread.

For example, raisin toast, white light­textured breads or thinly sliced bread may
require a lighter setting, whilst heavier
textured rye, whole wheat or fresh breads
may require a darker setting.

b) To change the number of slices,

press the center of the TEMP/TIME
(Darkness/Slices) dial until the LCD
screen displays a flashing ‘SLICES’.

Turn the dial to the left to reduce the
number of slices, or to the right to
increase the number of slices. The
number of slices range from ‘1’ to ‘4’.

NOTE

Your customized TOAST browning
setting and number of slices will
remain in the memory of the oven until
you change them or unplug the oven
from the power outlet. When the oven
is plugged back into the power outlet,
the TOAST function will automatically
return to the preset browning setting
‘4’ and preset number of slices ‘2’.

6. Press the START/CANCEL button

to activate this setting. The button
surround will illuminate red, the oven
alert will sound and the LCD screen will
illuminate orange.

7. The timer will be displayed and begin to

count down. The time can be adjusted
during the toasting cycle by turning the
TEMP/TIME dial.

NOTE

Element IQ™ will automatically
adjust the toasting time depending
on the heat already present inside
the oven. For exa mple, if the oven
is already wa rm after one cycle of
toasting, the toasting time for the
second cycle will be less.

NOTE (continued)

During the toasting cycle,
condensation may form on the oven
door and steam may be emitted. This
is normal. Condensation and steam
occur as a result of the moisture
content of the bread. Freshly baked
and frozen breads generally produce
more condensation.

8. At the end of the toasting cycle,

the oven alert will sound three times.
The START/CANCEL button surround
will no longer illuminate red and LCD
screen will illuminate blue.

IMPORTANT

The outer surface of the oven,
including the oven door, is hot during
and after operation. Always use
protective hot pads or insulated oven
mitts when inserting, removing or
handling items from the oven.

9. The toasting cycle can be stopped at any

time by pressing the START/CANCEL
button. This will cancel the cycle. The
button surround illumination will go out
and the LCD screen will illuminate blue.

NOTE

Default temperatures and times
shown in the illustrations in this
section may vary from those displayed
on your oven.

BAGEL FUNCTION

Elements

Top and bottom heating elements cycle on
and off to regulate the correct temperature.

Rack Position

Middle rack height position.

Optional Settings

FROZEN FOODS button.

The BAGEL function crisps the insides of
your cut bagel while only lightly toasting the
outside. This function is also ideal for toasting
thick sliced speciality breads which require
one side to be toasted more than the other.

NOTE

If you like your bagel halves equally
crisp on both the top and bottom ,
we recommend using the TOAST
function to toast your cut bagel .

1. Insert the wire rack into the top

rack height position. The wire rack
should be positioned with the spokes
facing upwards.

2. Slice each bagel into two equal halves

3. If toasting 1-2 bagel halves, center the

halves on the wire rack. If toasting 3-4
halves, evenly space them with 1-2
halves at the front of the wire rack and
1-2 halves at the back of the rack.

NOTE

The upside of the bagel must always
face upwards towards the top heating
elements. This allows the topside to
be crisp while the crust is only lightly
toasted.

NOTE

For bagels, change the rack to
the middle rack height position,
cut the bagel in half, lengthways.
The upside(cutside) of the bagel
must always face upwards towards
the top heating elements - so the
topside(cutside) becomes crisp while
the crust is only lightly toasted.

4. Close the oven door.

5. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the

indicator reaches the BAGEL function.
The left figure on the LCD screen
indicates the preset browning or
‘Darkness’ setting ‘4’, while the right
figure on the LCD screen indicates the
preset number of bagel halves ‘2’.

6. The browning setting and number of

bagel halves can be adjusted before or
during the bagel cycle.
