SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It ma y be plugged into an AC e lectrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any ot her electrical outlet.

CORD PLUG

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. This appliance has a polari zed 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 into the outlet, reverse the plug and
try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
Please return it to our Service Department or to an authorized service representative.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord

or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least

as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Control

Timer / Stay On/Off
Control

The oven has a 30-minute timer with optional STAY ON feature, a Temperature/Mode
control and a power indicator light. Before attempting to operate the toaster oven, be sure
to become familiar with the controls to ensure optimum performance.

Power Indicator Light: The Light will be illuminated when the oven is operating. The Light
will illuminate as soon as the Timer is set or turned to the STAY ON position.

will be ON and operating. When the timer completes a cycle it will sound an audible bell
and turn the unit OFF.
Note: When setting the timer to less than 5 minutes always rotate the Timer Knob past 5
minutes (Med) and then rotate back to the desired time. This will ensure an accurate time
setting.
To use the STAY ON feature, rotate the Timer Knob counterclockwise. The oven will
remain ON until the Timer Knob is manually rotated back to the OFF position.

function on the Toast setting. The heating elements will cycle On and Off.
See Toasting instructions in the USING YOUR TOASTER OVEN section.

Upper Position Lower Position

Baking rack positions:

This oven has two positions for the baking rack. The uppe r position should typically be
used for broiling. The lower position is best suited for baking and toasting.
Exact positions are difficult to recommend due to personal preference. Experiment with
different rack positions to suit individual taste.
Note: Unless toasting bread never place food directly on the baking rack. Always use
multipurpose baking pan.

USING YOUR TOASTER OVEN

Before use remove any packing materials and wipe the bod y of your toaster oven with a
damp cloth. Remove baking rack and multipurpose baking pan. Wash baking rack and pan
in hot, soapy water, and dry thoroughly.
Place oven on a flat counter or other stable surface. Position oven at least 3 inches away
from wall or rear of counter. Make sure that nothing has been placed on top of the oven.

5

Note: Make sure the crumb tray is in the closed position before using. See CARE AND
CLEANING instructions for proper crumb tray positioning.
Note: Ensure that before plugging the toaster oven into the outlet, all controls are in the

OFF position. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.
For the first time only, turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F and the Timer Knob to 15
minutes. This will burn off any residue or oils still on the oven or elements.
NOTE: The oven may lightly smoke during this process. This is normal for a ne w oven
and should not last more than 10-15 minutes.

DO NOT WRAP THE CORD AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF APPLIANCE DURING OR
AFTER USE.
Toasting:

1. Place bread on the baking rack and close oven door.

2. Turn Temperature Knob to the Toast setting (just past 450°F).

3. Select toast shade preference by turning the Timer Knob clockwise to desired toast

setting (LIGHT, MED or DARK).
Note: When setting the timer to less than 5 minutes always rotate the Timer Knob past 5
minutes (Med) and then rotate back to the desired time. This will ensure an accurate time
setting.
Never use the STAY ON position when toasting. The power light will be illuminated and
both heating elements will operate while bread is toasting. When the Timer has completed
the cycle, a bell will sound and the unit will shut off. To stop the toasting cycle early, turn
the Timer Knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Toasting Tips:

• Exact toasting settings are difficult to recommend due to personal preference.

Experiment to suit individual taste.

• Results will vary depending on a particular type of bread’s moisture, thickness and

texture.

• Remember that thicker breads, toaster pastries and any foods containing fillings will

require a longer toasting time.

• Remove bread promptly after toasting to avoid over-toasting by residual heat.

• Any pastry or foods containing fillings will be very hot. Always remove with caution.

Baking:

1. Set the Temperature Knob to the Bake setting.

2. Rotate Timer Knob clockwise to 5 minutes (Med) and allow oven to preheat.

3. While oven is preheating, place food on multipurpose pan. When Timer bell sounds and

oven has turned OFF, place the pan atop the baking rack inside the oven.

6

CAUTION: INSIDE OF OVEN WILL BE HOT. USE OVEN MITTS OR HOT PADS TO

PREVENT BURNING.

4. Close oven door. For baking times of 30 minutes or less rotate the Timer Knob

clockwise to the desired time. The power light will be illuminated. Only the bottom

element will function during the Bake setting.

5. When Timer Bell sounds and unit is OFF, open door and remove food from oven.

6. For longer Baking times, rotate the Timer Knob counterclockwise to the STAY ON

setting. In the STAY ON setting the unit will remain ON and not shut OFF until the Timer

Knob is manually rotated back to the OFF position. NOTE: Always monitor food very

carefully to avoid overcooking.

Broiling:

1. Place food to be broiled i n multipurpose baki ng pan and set pan on top of baking ra ck

inside the oven. NEVER place food directly on the baking rack. Close oven door.

2. Rotate the Temperature Knob clockwise to the Broil setting.

3. For items requiring a broiling time of 30 minutes or less rotate the Timer Knob clockwise

to the desired time. The power light will be illuminated. Only the top element will function

during broiling. When the Timer has completed the c ycle, a bell will soun d and th e u nit

will shut off.

4. For longer broiling times, rotate the Timer Knob counterclockwise to the STAY ON

setting. In the STAY ON setting the unit will remain ON and not shut OFF until the Timer

Knob is manually rotated back to the OFF position.

5. For even broiling, turn food over when it is about half cooked.
NOTE: Always monitor food very carefully when broiling to avoid overcooking.

USEFUL HINTS

1. Smoke may appear during broiling or baking. When broiling, it is always recommended

to cut off excess fat on food before placing it in oven to minimize smoke. If oven smokes

during baking, this usually means the oven interior or mult ipurpose pan is dirty and

requires cleaning. (See CARE AND CLEANING).

2. Some items may produce condensation on the oven door. This is normal and will

quickly disappear.

3. Frozen foods and thick meat will take longer to cook.

4. To prevent heat loss, avoid opening the door during cooking unless absolutely

necessary.

5. When toasting, remember that frozen bread or multiple, slices will require a longer

toasting time.
