IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug,
or toaster oven in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning appliance and putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Be sure to allow hot oil or liquids to cool before moving appliance.
12. To disconnect, turn all controls to Off, then remove plug from wall outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
15. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a
toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
16. A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered, touching or near flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation, or before the appliance cools down.
17. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any materials, other than Hamilton Beach/ Proctor-Silex, Inc. recommended accessories, in this oven.
19. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
20. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
21. To turn oven off, turn ON/OFF Control Dial to OFF position. See “Parts and Features” section.
22. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered safety glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.

This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the toaster oven. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door. The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break, however it breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to avoid scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or nick, call our toll-free customer service number.
Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.
Before First Use
Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used for the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an outlet. Turn the Function/Temperature Knob to 450°F. Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Wash baking pan and oven rack before using.

Toasting Tips
THIS OVEN RETAINS HEAT VERY WELL. WHEN MAKING MORE THAN ONE BATCH OF TOAST, THE TOAST SHADE SELECTOR SHOULD BE SET TO A LIGHTER COLOR ON THE SECOND BATCH TO GET THE SAME SHADE OF TOAST AS THE FIRST.
• If the bottom surface of the toast is too light, place the
bread near the back or front of the oven. This toasts top and bottom more evenly than if placed in the center of the oven.
• To toast bagels, place oven rack in the low position and
place bagels cut side facing down. This will toast the cut side more than the outside of the bagel.
• To toast English muffins, place oven rack in the low
position and place English muffins with the split side facing down. Set Toast Shade Selector to the dark setting.
• To toast regular toaster pastry, frozen pastry, or waffles,
place oven rack in the high position. Select a light color and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze of frosting, use baking pan.
Oven Rack Positions
The toaster oven comes with a dual-position oven rack. Flip the rack over to change the position.
To Toast

To Broil
Do not leave appliance unattended when in operation. Wash the baking pan and broil rack before using.
1. Place broil rack inside baking pan.
2. Place oven rack in high position. Place
baking pan on the oven rack.
3. Set the Function Selector Knob to Broil.
4. Set Timer to desired time or “Stay On.”
The Indicator Light will come on. Only the top heating elements come on during the Broil Function.
5. Halfway through cooking time, or when food has browned, turn food over to brown and cook other side.
6. When finished turn OFF; unplug from outlet.
NOTES:
• For best results, do not preheat when broiling.
• Always allow at least one inch between the food and the
heating element.
Toasting Tips (continued)
• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door. A toaster oven is enclosed so the moisture is slow to escape. After toasting, wipe door to dry and make clean-up easier.
• When the bell sounds at the end of the cycle, remove toast immediately or the heat remaining in the toaster oven will continue to toast and dry out your toast.
• The number of slices of bread, the bread freshness, and the starting temperature of the oven will affect toast color. If the oven is already hot, select a lighter shade of toast than normal. Adjust the Toast Shade Selector to achieve the desired color.
To Bake
Do not leave appliance unattended when in operation. Wash the baking pan and broil rack before using.
1. Place oven rack in low or high position
depending on food to be cooked.
2. Select temperature then set Timer to
5 and let preheat for five minutes before beginning to bake.
3. Set Timer to desired time or “Stay On.”
The indicator light will come on and oven will begin baking.
4. When finished, turn OFF. Unplug from outlet.
Baking Tip: Most foods should be baked according to pack-
age or recipe directions. Watch carefully and adjust the time or temperature if necessary.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, do not use oven cooking bags in the toaster oven.
