Consumer Safety Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household

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 assistance number.
Always unplug appliance from the outlet
when not in use.
When heavy foods are on the oven rack, do

Do not place bake pan directly on heating
elements.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high-wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the toaster oven.

electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.
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

To Toast (cont.)
Toasting Tips!
• To toast bagels or English muffins,
place bread cut-side down. This will
toast the cut side more than the outside. English muffins may need a
darker setting than regular bread to
achieve the same color.
• To toast frozen pastry or waffles.
Select a light color and toast
directly on oven rack. If pastry has a
glaze or frosting, use baking pan to
prevent dripping.
• When toasting, condensation may
form on oven door. A toaster is
open and allows moisture to escape.
A toaster oven is a closed space and
so moisture is slow to escape.
• At the end of the toast cycle,
remove toast immediately or the
heat remaining in the toaster oven will
continue to toast and dry out your
toast.
1. Place oven rack in toaster oven.
2. Select temperature.
3. Set Toast Shade Selector/Timer to
Oven ON. Let preheat for five
minutes before
beginning to bake
then place food in
oven.
4. Set Toast Shade Selector/Timer to
desired time or Oven ON.
5. When finished, turn Toast Shade
Selector/Timer to OFF. Unplug from
outlet.
To Bake

• The toaster oven operates very much
like a regular oven. When first using,
check to determine if time or
temperature should be adjusted.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not use
oven cooking bags in the toaster oven.

Troubleshooting
Question
The toaster oven will not heat.
The toaster oven will not toast.
Moisture forms on the inside
of the oven door when toasting.
An odor and smoke comes
from the toaster oven.
The Indicator Light stays on.
Some foods burn and some
are not done.
The oven gets hot on the outside.
Answer
Check to make sure the outlet is working
and the oven is plugged in. Next turn the
Oven Control Switch to 350°F and then
turn the Toast Shade Selector/Timer to
Oven ON. The Indicator Light should
now be lit.
Check to make sure the outlet is working
and the oven is plugged in.
1. Set Oven Control Switch to Toast.
2. Select toast color.
The Indicator Light should now be lit.
This is normal when toasting in a toaster
oven. Moisture is slower to escape from
the toaster oven than from a toaster.
The amount of moisture will differ among
fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastry.
Smoke and odor is normal during the
first use of most heating appliances.
This will not be present after the initial
heating period.
Turn Toast Shade Selector/Timer to
OFF. If light stays on, unplug unit and
call our toll-free customer assistance
number for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment. Do not continue to
use your toaster oven.
Use the oven rack position to center
food in the oven. Adjust the oven
temperature or cooking time for best
results with your recipes.
Please be careful. The top and sides of
oven get very hot, but this is normal.
