SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety
conscious. We design and
manufacture consumer
products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, foremost
in mind. In addition we ask
that you exercise a degree of
care when using any electrical
appliance and adhere to the
following precautions.

IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• 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.

2

• 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
break 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.

3

• 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 34 - 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.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE SMART
OVEN® COMPACT CONVECTION

The Breville Smart Oven® Compact
Convection features Element IQ® - a cooking
technology that adjusts the power of the
heating elements to cook food more evenly
and quickly. Each of the oven’s functions
are preset with our recommended settings,
however we suggest experimenting with these
depending on the recipe, amount of food and
your personal taste. Your customized setting
will remain in the memory of the oven until
changed or the oven is unplugged from the
power outlet.

rack height position. These are
conveniently printed on the right hand side
of the oven door’s glass window. The wire
rack should be positioned with the spokes
facing upwards.

2. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the
indicator reaches the desired setting.

3. To change the cooking temperature
or time, press the center of the TEMP/
TIME dial until the LCD screen displays
the corresponding temperature or time
screen. Turn the dial to the left to reduce the
temperature/time or to the right to increase
the temperature/time.

NOTE

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

Center the food on the wire rack - either
placing directly on the rack or positioned
on the Breville baking pan and broil rack
(see Page 23 of the Instruction Book for
recommended cookware types and sizes).

NOTE

Some functions feature a preheating cycle.
When the START/CANCEL button is pressed,

‘PREHEATING’ and the temperature alert has
sounded.

4. Close the oven door.

5. Press the START/CANCEL button
to activate. The button surround will
illuminate red, the oven alert will sound and
the LCD screen will illuminate orange.

6. The timer will be displayed and begin to
count down. The cooking temperature and
time can be adjusted during the cooking
cycle.

7. At the end of the cooking cycle, the oven
alert will sound three times. The START/
CANCEL button surround will no longer
illuminate red and LCD screen will
illuminate blue.

NOTE

The cooking cycle can be stopped at any time
by pressing the START/CANCEL button. This
will cancel the cycle and the button surround
illumination will go out.
