LABELS AND WARNINGS BEFORE USING
THE TOASTER OVEN.
• Do not touch the hot surfaces. The
temperature of the door and the outer
surfaces may be high when the toaster
is operating. Always use oven mitts
when handling hot materials, and allow
metal parts to cool down before cleaning.
Allow the units to cool before putting
in or taking off parts. Always use the

HOW TO USE
NOTE:
1. There may be an odor or smoke during initial use. This is normal. It is due to the
protective substance on heating elements, which avoids salt effects during shipping
from the factory. It is recommended to operate the oven dry for about 15 minutes
the first time. Ensure the room is properly ventilated.
2. The minimum distance between the food and the upper heating element should be
at least 1.25 inches, for uniform baking.
3. The baking pan can only be used when installed on wire rack.
Toasting
1. Rotate the Temperature controller clockwise to the “toast” position, and the heating
elements will turn on. Open the oven door and place the bread slice on the wire
rack. One slice of bread is placed in the center of the wire rack, or four slices side
by side. Four slices will be lighter than 1 slice – adjust Timer accordingly.
NOTE: Remember to first remove the baking pan for even toasting result.
2. Time setting
Turn the time controller to the corresponding position depending on the desired
bread color: dark, medium or light. Usually the time is in the range of about 3-5
minutes. The more toasting time, the darker the bread. When setting the timer dial
for less than 5 minutes, always rotate the timer to over 5 minutes and then rotate
back to your desired time. This will ensure a safe and accurate timer setting. To
interrupt the toasting process, turn back the timer to the “off” position. When the
timer has reached to the “off” position a bell sound will be heard to indicate the
completion of toasting, and the power will be shut off automatically.
NOTE: The bread may catch fire if the toasting time is set too long. Close supervision
is necessary during toasting.

MAIN FEATURES
Grilling
1. Put the baking pan above the wire rack and place the food on baking pan. Always
use the baking pan when grilling food like chicken wings or drumsticks with fat,
as it can catch the drippings when grilling the food.
2. We always suggest preheating the oven for 10 minutes before placing the food in
the oven.
1. Rotate the temperature controller clockwise to your desired setting. For grilling
thick slices of food, turn the temperature controller to “Toast” for best results.
NOTE: When grilling, both heating elements will be ON.
2. Set the time based on the food type and thickness. The heat element will be
cycled on and off to maintain a constant temperature. For items requiring greater
than 15 minutes of cooking time, set the timer to Stay On. Once the food is cooked
you must shut off the oven manually by turning the timer controller to OFF position.
NOTE: Always monitor the food to prevent overcooking. Always use oven gloves to
avoid risk of burns.
Broiling
For broiling function, only the upper heating element will be on, the setting is
applicable for browning the top surface of food or broiling chops or steaks.
1. We recommend preheating 15 minutes with the door closed before broiling food
to achieve satisfactory result.
2. Place the food on the wire rack, and the baking pan should always be placed
underneath to catch the dripping oil.
Defrosting
1. Remember to put the baking pan above the wire rack when defrosting.
2. Put the food on the wire rack directly, removing all paper or plastic wrapping. The
temperature should be set at 150-2500F.It is unnecessary to preheat the oven.
The time needed for defrosting is largely dependent on food weight, type and shape.
If the food is thick and heavy the temperature should be set at 2500F. It is necessary to turn over the food. The oven temperature should not be set too high as this
may cause the food to be burned. Always cook food promptly after defrosting.
Baking
1. Temperature and time is based on food type and thickness.
2. When baking, the upper and lower heating elements will cycle on and off to
maintain the constant temperature.
3. When baking is finished, turn the Time controller to “off” position.
4. Remove the food from the oven carefully.

Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Before cleaning, unplug the toaster oven and allow it to cool completely.
2. Wash all the accessories with soap and water including the wire rack and the
baking pan.
3. Do not use abrasive cleansers, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaner as this
will cause damage to the baking pan.
4. Using a soft, wet cloth to wipe the inside of the oven, clean the door using a wet
cloth saturated with detergent or soap.
5. Never immerse the unit in the water.
6. To empty the crumbs unplug toaster oven, pull tray out.. (See Fig 1) Wipe interior
of crumb tray with a damp cloth. After cleaning, slide in the crumb tray. (See Fig.2).
7. Do not wipe the two metal covers of the heating elements with brushes.
8. After cleaning the parts, install the wire rack along the slots in oven cavity and
place the baking pan on the wire rack.
9. Do not use any metal pads to clean the surfaces.

risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
