SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension
cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled on by children.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

BEFORE THE 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.
DO NOT STORE OBJECTS ON THE TOP OF THE OVEN. IF YOU DO,
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.
Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the drip tray. Foil is
extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and
may catch fire. The use of foil is not recommended, but if foil is used to cover
broiling pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch
the walls or heating rods. Never cover crumb tray.
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Slide the function dial to off. The
indicator will turn off.
USE AND CARE
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
broiling pan to reduce sizzling and splattering. Place the drip tray in the
broiling pan.
To broil, set temperature and function slides to broil. Preheat oven for five
minutes with door closed. After the five-minute preheat period, place the
broiling pan in the oven.
Note: Never use glass oven dishes to broil.
To stop broil operation, slide the function dial to off position.
Bake
To bake, set temperature slide to the desired temperature and move function
slide to bake position. The oven indicator light will turn on. Preheat oven for
five to ten minutes (time will vary depending on desired temperature); then
begin to bake.
Toast
If toasting two items, center them in the middle of the rack. Four items should
be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back.
Browning Selection
Set function slide to toast. Move toast shade slide to desired browning setting. Press “Start/Cancel” paddle to begin toasting.
Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep 5 times and turn off.
If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the
“Start/Cancel” paddle. The toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
RECIPES
Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe
the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the toaster oven, before cleaning.
3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or
a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive
products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use Brillo pads,
etc. on interior of oven.
4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe
clean and replace. Crumb tray is dishwasher-safe. To remove baked-on
grease, soak the tray in hot sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners.
Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
5. Wire rack, broiling pan and drip tray are dishwasher-safe. If heavily soiled,
soak in hot sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush.
6. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage
cleats on the back of the oven.
IMPORTANT:
After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean top
interior of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like
new. Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after
cycle.
