•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.

•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 (or on the cookie sheet, if provided) and place it on the wire rack.

2.Close the door, set both the selector and temperature dials to BROIL.

3.Turn the ON/OFF timer knob to MEDIUM or to ON (for longer browning times)

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

When the browning cycle is completed (top surface with desired colour) turn the thermostat dial to " the ON/OFF 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 thermostat dial (C) and the selector dial (E) to "BROIL".

5.Turn the ON/OFF dial to "ON".

6.Turn the function control knob to "BROIL".

7.When broiling is finished, turn the ON/OFF 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 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 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	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 programming 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 thermostat dial to TOAST/BROIL position and the function selector dial to TOAST/BAKE.

4.The toast programming 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.

5.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.

6.A ring indicates the end of the set time. The toasting cycle has been completed and the heating elements

will shut off automatically

" 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 ON/OFF knob 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 dial (D) clockwise until the desired colour is obtained.

Then switch off manually the thermostat dial and the toast programming dial as described earlier.

As you use the oven, the best settings for favourite breads

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.
