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 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 w ay . If the plug does not fit into the outlet, rev erse t he 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 a pplianc e should b e servi ced and the line c ord rep laced .
Please return it to our Service Departm ent or to an authorize d s erv ice r epr ese ntative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this c oul d place undue stre ss o n
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.

Upper Position Lower Position
Baking rack positions:
This oven has two positions for the baking rack. The upper 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 body of your toaster oven wit h a
damp cloth. Remove baking rack a nd 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.

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 new oven
and should not last more than 10-15 minutes.
DO NOT WRAP THE CORD AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF APPLIANCE DURING OR

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.

USEFUL HINTS
1. Smoke may ap pear dur i ng bro i ling or baking. When broili ng, i t is always recommended
to cut off ex cess fat on food before placing it in oven to minimiz e smoke. If oven smokes
during baking, this usually means the oven interior or multipurpose pan is di rty 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.
