IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or 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 putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to Rival (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated
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.

12. To disconnect, rotate the TIMER CONTROL to the OFF position, then
remove plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

14. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the oven as they
may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

15. A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material,
including curtains, draperies, walls, or the like, when in operation.
Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.

16. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and
touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (CONT.)

18. Do not place any cardboard, paper, plastic or other flammable items
inside the oven.

19. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This
will cause overheating of the oven.

20. To turn the oven off, rotate the TIMER CONTROL to the OFF position.

21. Use extreme caution when removing pan or disposing of hot grease.

22. Failure to clean crumb tray may result in a fire hazard.

23. Do not store any materials other than the manufacturers recommended
accessories in this oven when not in use.

24. Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian®and other surfaces,
are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain
appliances. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your Rival
product to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce hazards resulting from

entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be
used with care; however, the marked electrical rating should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the oven. The extension cord should not be
allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over, unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is

intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If

it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Leave 6 – 8 inches of open surface all around the exterior of the

Counter Top Oven.

• Place the Counter Top Oven on a dry, level heat resistant surface.

• The Counter Top Oven should be operated on a separate electrical

circuit from other appliances. If the circuit is overloaded, this appliance
may not operate correctly.

• Do not use airtight containers inside the oven. Containers must have

room to allow for expansion of liquids.

• Do not touch hot surfaces such as the GLASS DOOR, top and sides.

• Watch the toasting process carefully when toasting items such as

croutons and crackers. Select a light setting for these types of foods.

• Do not use any sharp utensils to clean the GLASS DOOR as this may

cause damage to the glass or breakage. Clean only with a damp cloth.

PREPARING YOUR COUNTER TOP OVEN FOR USE

Your Rival®Counter Top Oven is equipped with all of the options of a full­size oven in a countertop appliance – it toasts, bakes and broils.

NOTE: Initial start up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke
(about 15 min). This is normal. It is due to the protective substances on the
heating elements, which protect them from salt air effects during shipment
from the factory.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOASTING

Your new Counter Top Oven has a large capacity for toasting up to 6 slices
of bread, 6 muffin halves, 6 frozen waffles, or 6 frozen pancakes. When
toasting only 1 or 2 items, place food in the center of oven.

1. Set TEMPERATURE CONTROL to TOAST.

2. Turn FUNCTION CONTROL to TOAST.

3. Ensure CRUMB TRAY is in place.

4. Place food to be toasted on Wire Oven Rack

5. Turn TIMER CONTROL to desired darkness.

6. Bell will signal end of TOAST cycle.
NOTE: For the best toasting result, WIRE OVEN RACK should be positioned

in the bottom RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, face up.

IMPORTANT:

When choosing toast color (light, medium or dark) always rotate the timer
past 5 minutes and then rotate back to dark, medium or light. This will
ensure that the timer operates correctly and safely.

• When the toast cycle is finished the bell will ring and the electrical
power will automatically turn off.

• To stop the cycle at any time, turn the timer control counter-clockwise
to the OFF position and the bell will ring.

• Six (6) slices will be lighter than one (1) slice, adjust TIMER CONTROL
accordingly.

• If toasting only one slice, place bread in the center of the WIRE OVEN
RACK, 6 slices should be toasted side by side.

In this cycle, both the top and bottom heating elements operate.

-E6-

CAUTION: Do not set timer past the darkest toast setting. This may
cause the food to burn.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAKING

NOTE: When using a single rack, position the WIRE OVEN RACK in the
lowest RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, facing up.

1. Place WIRE OVEN RACK in bottom or top RACK SUPPORT GUIDE,
depending on the height of pan or according to recipe directions.

2. Preheat oven as directed in recipe.

3. Ensure CRUMB TRAY is in place.

4. Place item to be baked on BROIL PAN.

5. Place BROIL PAN on WIRE OVEN RACK.

6. Set TEMPERATURE CONTROL to desired temperature.

7. Turn FUNCTION CONTROL to BAKE/ROAST/PIZZA.

8. Set TIMER CONTROL to desired time or turn to STAY ON.

9. Turn TIMER CONTROL to OFF when complete.

NOTE: In this cycle, both the top and bottom heating elements operate.

Baking on Two Racks

Two racks of cakes, cookies, or pies can be baked at the same time.
However, it is necessary to rotate them (i.e. move the top to the bottom
and the bottom to the top) halfway through cooking time.

Positioning of Bake Racks
Cookies - Use bottom and top RACK SUPPORT GUIDES with racks face

down.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom and top RACK SUPPORT GUIDES. Rack

should be face down in bottom position and face up in top position.
Pies - Use bottom and top RACK SUPPORT GUIDES with both racks face

down. Place a bake pan under pies to catch any spills or drips.
Follow package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperatures.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROILING / TOP BROWN

For best results, preheat oven for 5 minutes on BROIL before
BROILING/TOP BROWNING. Trim excess fat from meats and dry any
moisture that may be on food.

1. Set TEMPERATURE CONTROL to BROIL.

2. Turn FUNCTION CONTROL to BROIL.

3. Preheat oven.

4. Place BROIL RACK onto BROIL PAN.

5. Place food on BROIL RACK then place the BROIL PAN on the WIRE OVEN
RACK and slide into RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, face up or face down
depending on the thickness of food you are cooking.

6. Food should be placed as close as possible to top heating element
without touching it.

7. Brush food with sauces or oil, if desired.

8. Set TIMER CONTROL to desired time or turn to STAY ON.

9. Turn food over midway through prescribed cooking time.

10. Turn TIMER CONTROL to OFF when broiling is complete.

In this cycle, only the upper heating element operates.

NOTE: Always monitor the food at this setting to ensure that you are not
over cooking.

We suggest using the timer as food can burn quickly at this setting.
When broiling, turn the food over for even cooking. Food should not be

placed directly on the WIRE OVEN RACK.
For top browning simply broil as long as desired.

Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the heating elements.
