•Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

•Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.

•The cord length of this product has been selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be rated no less than 15 amps., 120 volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories/CSA listing.

•A six feet long, 15 amp. extension cord may be purchased from your local authorized service facility. When using a longer cord, be sure not to let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally pull or trip over it.

•Handle the cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining the cord at the plug and appliance connections.

•Note:

Initial start up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 min.). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them from salt effects during shipping from factory.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES (not for all models)

•COOKIE SHEET (G)

Must be placed directly on the wire rack. Indispensable for baking biscuits and pastries.

•OVEN LIGHT (B) AND PILOT LAMP (F)

•If the oven light (B) has been provided for, said light will remain turned ON when the oven is in function.The power lamp (F) will turn OFF once the selected baking temperature inside the oven is reached and will turn on and off during cooking.

•If your oven is not provided with the oven light (B), the power lamp (F) will light continuosly when the oven is switched on (it will not have the function of a temperature indicator).

•HANDGRIP FOR WIRE RACK (N)

Use handgrip to bring the wire rack out of the oven when it is hot.

COOKING PROGRAMS

1.HOW TO KEEP FOOD WARM

Place the food to be kept warm on the wire rack

•Set the TEMP. dial (C) to the KEEP WARM position.

•Set the TIME dial (D) up to 120 minutes.

•Do not set the TOAST COLOR dial (E).

Once the KEEP WARM function is no longer needed, turn the TIME dial to OFF and the TEMP. dial to "●".

This feature is designed to keep foods warm, after they are cooked for short periods of time without overcooking. We do not recommend keeping foods warm for prolonged periods or using this feature to reheat frozen or cold foods.

2.INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAKING

You can bake foods in your oven, just as in your regular oven. Casseroles or baking dishes may be placed directly on the removable wire rack (L). Use the shallow pan (I)(or cookie sheet, if provided) to bake such items as cookies, biscuits, rolls and uncovered casserole dishes. Place the shallow pan or the cookie sheet directly on the removable wire rack (please refer to the table on page 4 for wire rack position).

1.Close the door

2.Set the TEMP. dial (C) to the desired position/ temperature

3.Turn the TIME dial to the desired position/time

4.Do not set the TOAST COLOR dial (E)

5.When baking is finished turn the TEMP. dial to the "●" position and the TIME dial to the

"OFF" position.

•NOTE:

We do not recommend the use of glass covers on casseroles.

Glass cooking dishes should never be closer than one inch from the heating element.

• During the bake and toast function, do not put the shallow pan (or any other accessory/container) directly on the lower heating element.

•HELPFUL BAKING HINTS

To obtain best performance from this toaster-oven-broiler:

•Do not overfill the oven. Whenever possible, place foods in center of oven.

•Avoid opening the door too frequently to prevent heat loss.

•Foil may be used to cover the baking dish or pan. Be sure the ends of foil are tucked closely against the edge of the baking dish/pan.

•TEMPERATURE AND TIME FOR TYPICAL FOODS ( baking and roasting)

The suggested temperature and times will vary depending on the temperature of the food placed in the oven, the quantity and personal preference. Times given for meat and poultry are for refrigerator temperature. Add five minutes for preheating the oven. In order to avoid overcooking when using for the first time we suggest you to set a low temperature. As you use the oven, the best settings will become familiar.

•TOP BROWNING

Top browning is ideal for melting, crisping and toasting food surfaces. Use it for open face sandwiches, prebuttered muffins or browning cooked casseroles.

1.Place the food on the oven pan and place it on the wire rack.

2.Close the door, set the TEMP. dial to BROIL.

3.Turn the TIME dial to the desired position/time.

4.Do not set the TOAST COLOR dial (E).

When experimenting with new uses, watch the food to avoid overbrowning.

When the browning cycle is completed (top surface with desired colour) turn the TEMP. dial to "●" and the TIME dial to “OFF”.

3.INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROILING

Always use the oven pan with the broiling rack for broiling. No preheating of the broiler is necessary.

Do not leave the broiler unattended when in use. Before using the broiler for the first time and after use, wash the pan and the rack with warm, sudsy water. Do not cover the oven wire rack with foil.

This prevents fat and oils from draining, causing spatter and smoking, and also restricts air circulation for proper ventilation.

•BROILING

1.Place the oven wire rack as shown in the table on page 4.

2.Place the food to be broiled on the broiling rack (H) (set inside the oven pan), then put the assembly on the wire rack.

3.Always leave the oven door open to the stop position (as shown below).

4.Turn the TEMP. dial to "BROIL".

5.Turn the TIME dial to desired position/time.

6.Do not set the TOAST COLOR dial.

7. When broiling is finished, turn the TIME dial to the “OFF" position and the thermostat dial to the "●" position. Care should be taken when turning food, removing the oven

pan and disposing of the grease collected while browing. Use hot pads.

• Note:

While smoke is an inherent characteristic of good broiling, the following tips should eliminate or greatly reduce smoking:

•Trim excess fat from meat and score the edges to prevent curling. Dry meat, fish and poultry surfaces with paper towel.

•For best results, thaw frozen meats before broiling. These two precautions will reduce or eliminate smoke from the broiler.

•Placing the food on the broiling rack allows the juices and fat to drip into the oven pan and decreases spattering while broiling.

•If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1 and a half to 2 times the required broiling time as that required for unfrozen meat.

•If grease "pops" during broiling, turn the temperature control dial to a lower setting.

•Remove grease from the pan and wash the pan and broiling rack after use.

•The broiler should be cleaned inside after each use. Too much grease accumulation causes smoking. Use any non-abrasive cleaner and hot water.

•For very thick steaks and other thick foods, we recommend using the lower broiling rack position.

•Since fish is non-fatty it can be broiled directly on the oven pan. Broil until it flakes easily with a fork. Thin fillets need not to be turned.

4.DIRECTIONS FOR AUTOMATIC TOASTING

•The capacity of the wire rack (L) is such as to allow the toasting of 6 slices of bread at the same time. In any case better results are obtained with 4 slices.

•For toasting, place the slices of bread as shown below:

Toasting one slice

Toasting two slices

Toasting four slices

Toasting six slices

For consecutive toasting, turn the TOAST COLOR dial to a lower setting.

•INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOASTING

Always use the oven wire rack for toasting bread, sandwiches, English muffins, shelf foods and frozen waffles automatically.

1.Place the wire rack as shown in the table on page 4.

2.Center the food to be toasted on the wire rack. Close the door.

3.Set the TEMP. dial to “TOAST” position.

4.Do not set the TIME dial.

5.The tOAST COLOR dial (D) can be set clockwise for light, medium or dark toast or any shade desired in between.

When using the toaster-oven-broiler for the first time, set the dial (D) to a medium setting. Toast a few pieces of bread to check for desired brownness. If necessary, adjust the control to suit your preference.

6.When toasting, both the top and bottom heating element switch on to brown both sides of the food at the same time. Condensation may build up on the inside of the glass door. This is normal.

The condensation will evaporate during the toasting cycle.

7.A ring indicates the end of the set time. The toasting cycle has been completed and the heating elements will shut off automatically. Turn the TEMP. dial to the "●" position.

•Note:

This toaster-oven-broiler is capable of toasting in a wide range of colours, automatically from light to dark. However, if you prefer a lighter shade of toast, simply interrupt the automatic toast cycle by turning the TOAST COLOR dial to "OFF". This will shut the unit off without damaging the oven.

If you prefer a darker shade, restart the toasting cycle by turning the TOAST COLOR dial clockwise until the desired colour is obtained.

Then switch off manually the TEMP. dial and the TOAST COLOR dial as described earlier.

As you use the oven, the best settings for favourite breads will become familiar.

•HINTS FOR TOASTING SUCCESS

Heavier breads and frozen breads will require a darker setting. One slice of bread will require a lighter setting than several slices.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the toaster-oven-broiler and allow it to cool before cleaning. This unit has been designed and engineered with your safety in mind. To assure maximum safe operation, keep unit clean free of grease and build up of food particles.

1.Remove the wire oven rack.

2.To clean the inside walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution. Never use harsh abrasives, corrosive products or spray detergents.

•Note:

Do not clean interior with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, creating risk of electrical shock.

3.To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clan cloth.

4.To clean the exterior finish, use a damp, sudsy cloth. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive liquid cleaner or spray glass cleaner may be used. Do not use metal scouring pads, as they might mar the finish. Always remove cleaning agents by polishing with a dry cloth.

5.The wire rack, the oven pan and the broiling rack may be washed as other kitchen ware.

•CLEANING THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN

If your oven has a bottom that can be opened:

To clean the bottom of the oven, open the access panel by pressing the latch spring then pull the access panel downwards.(see fig. A/B). Place the oven on its rear panel. This will make cleaning easier.

Fig. A
