Crumb Tray

The crumb try is the full width of the unit interior and is designed for easy removal and cleaning. Located under the oven door, the crumb try can be removed without opening the oven door.

Convection Cooking

Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the regular features (broil, bake and grill). Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces a more even temperature all

around the food by air movement so that food cooks evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler. Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food cooking it significantly faster than conventional ovens.

1. Warm

Keep cooked food warm for up to 30 minutes. Longer periods of time are not recommended as food will become dry or will spoil.

Operation

1. Set temperature control to the 180°F.

2. Turn the function control t o “Warm”.

3. Turn the time control to "Stay On" position.

4. Turn the time control to “OFF" position when finished.

Caution: When sliding the oven rack out

Broiling Guide

Cooking results may vary, adjust these times to your individual requirements. Also, check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.

The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be preheated for 15 minutes at the desired temperature. A broiling guide with approximate broiling times is included below for your convenience. In the convection oven it is not necessary to turn the food because the fan circulates hot air around the food. The food must be placed on the wire rack with the baking pan beneath it to allow the circulation of air.

9. Turn time control to the "Stay On" position.

10. It is advisable to leave the door slightly ajar.

11. When broiling is complete, turn the time control to "OFF“ before you remove the food from the oven.

Note: Preheat the oven for 15 minutes

at the desired temperature. All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer. The use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended.

3. Bake with Convection

Operation

1. Place the w ire rack in the low er or upper oven rack support guide depending on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.

2. Preheat the ov en as directed in the recipe, approximately 15 minutes.

3. Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the wire rack.

4. Turn the function control t o “Bake”. The convection indicator light will turn “On”.

5. Turn the time control to position "Stay On".

6. When baking is complete, turn the time control to "OFF".

Convection baking is very consistent and even. The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly. Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bake ware that will fit in your oven are up to 12 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of oven roasting bags or non-ovenproof glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.

Baking Cookies

For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using cookie sheets placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on the cookie sheets might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.

• Preheat oven for 15 minutes, then place cookie sheet on the wire rack to begin baking.

• Use parchment paper on cookie sheets so cookies will not stick.

• Cookie sheet baking times and temperatures may differ from those necessary when using other baking materials.

Positioning of Oven Rack

Cookies - Use the upper or lower support

guides. Layer cakes - Use the lower support guide

only (bake cakes one at a time). Pies - Use the upper or lower support

guides.

Baking Guide

Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.

Recommended Pan Sizes

The following recommended pan sizes should fit your convection toaster oven. To be sure pan will fit, place the pan inside the oven to check before preparing your recipe. 6 - cup muffin pan 8 x 4 loaf pan 9 x 5 loaf pan 8" round or square baking pan or ovenproof dish 1-1 1/2 quart ovenproof casserole dish - most types 12” pizza pan When baking in loaf pans, we recommend you do not fill them more than half full.
