Before you begin:
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.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom position, or in the top position
with the rack upwards while toasting, may result in a fire. Refer to rack
position diagram for proper use.
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: The “Start/Stop” button, when pushed
the first time, will start the oven. When pushed the second time, during oven
operation, the “Start/Stop” button will turn off the oven. You will know the oven
is off when the LED light turns off.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Convection Baking (Only available with select models): The fan gently circulates the heat and surrounds the food to provide exceptionally even temperature. This method has been used for many years in large commercial ovens.
Because convection baking provides consistent even temperature, it may
cook faster than conventional baking. When convection baking, you generally
use a lower than normal oven temperature, about 25ºF lower than conventional (see charts and recipes), and as a result, foods come out more moist
and delicious. Convection baking can be used for roasting meats, whole
chickens, baking cakes, cookies and more.
Conventional Baking: Conventional baking can be used as you would normally use your large kitchen oven.
Broiling: Broiling can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more. Also can
be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins. 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. We don’t
recommend the use of foil, 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.
Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position “B”, as indicated in the diagram on page 12, for even toasting. Always center your item/items in the middle of the rack.

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.
B r o i l :
Note: When broiling, add approximately 1/4 cup water to the bottom of the
broiling pan to reduce sizzling and splatter. Place the drip tray in the broiling
pan. Note: There are two positions for the drip tray so that foods of varying
thicknesses can be broiled. Also, the oven rack can be turned up or down
depending on the thickness of the food being broiled. In most cases the oven
rack should be in the higher position (position C – see rack position diagram
on page 12).
To broil, press the “Broil” button on the touchpad. The LED light above the
“Broil” button will turn on. The temperature will automatically set to (500˚F)
broil temperature. Press the “Start/Stop” button to begin broiling. Temperature
cannot be changed. Preheat oven for five minutes with door closed. The clock
display will indicate “BRL” for broil. After the five-minute preheat period, place
the broiling pan in the oven. Always leave door ajar when broiling. Note:
Never use glass oven dishes for broiling.
To stop broil operation, press the “Start/Stop” button.
The built-in timer can be used with this function.
See timer instructions on page 7.
B a k e :
To bake, press the “Bake” button. The LED light above the bake button will
turn on. The oven temperature is preset for 150°F. Press the “Temp” button

to your desired temperature. Note that the temperature will increase and
decrease in increments of 25ºF. The temperature will read out on the clock
display. Press the “Start/Stop” button to start the oven. When oven reaches
the selected temperature, the words “Temp Ready” will be displayed on the
clock display, and the Temperature Ready Tone will sound 5 times to let you
know the oven is ready to bake.
The built-in timer can be used with this function. See timer instructions

NOTE: AS A SAFETY MEASURE, THIS OVEN WILL AUTOMATICALLY
SHUT OFF AFTER FOUR HOURS OF CONTINUOUS USE. NEVERTHELESS, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN WHEN NOT IN USE AND NEVER
LEAVE THE OVEN ON WHEN UNATTENDED.
Ti m e r :

need to press the “Timer” button again. Note: If you do press the “Start/Stop”
button and you have already started the oven, the oven will turn off .
If you set the incorrect time, press the “Timer” button once to clear the timer
to 0:00, then begin to set the correct time. If the timer has been set and is
counting down, the timer can be reset to 0:00 by pressing the “Timer” button
two times. The display will begin to blink to let you know you can enter the
correct time.
At the end of timer setting, the timer will ring continuously until it is turned off.
To stop timer ring, press “Timer” button. Pressing “Start/Stop” can turn off
both the timer and oven.

After 5 seconds, the display will return to the timer countdown without interruption. This can only be done while using the bake or convection bake functions. It will not work with the broil function. The broil function is set to 500ºF.
I m p o r tant Note s on Oven Use:
The “Bake” and “Convection Bake” features are always used with the “Temp”
selection button.
The “Broil” button only has one temperature. It is preset to 500ºF so it cannot
be used with the “Temp” button.
The timer can only be used with the bake, convection bake, or broil functions.
To a s t :
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in rack position “B”, as indicated in the

white bread.
To select your choice of browning, press the “Toast” button and then the “Up”
arrow for darker toast or the “Down” arrow for lighter toast. You have seven
browning selection shades to choose from. Your browning selection is indicated by the black dots located at the bottom of the clock display. The row of

number you have selected will also be displayed on the clock.
Your choice of browning selection will remain in the memory of the oven until
you change it or unplug the oven. When you unplug the oven, the browning
selection will automatically return to number 4, medium brown setting.
When toasting, the toasting time will count down on the clock display. The
timing will be different for each custom setting you choose. Keep in mind that
the timing is adjusted by the oven thermostat, so if your oven is already
warm, the toasting time will be shorter than if you start with a cold oven.
