Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at least 13A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Getting to Know Your Toaster-Oven-Broiler

Your new Toastmaster toaster-oven-broiler has the versatility to bake, broil, defrost, toast, top brown and keep foods warm. The adjustable thermostat allows you to prepare recipes according to package or recipe directions. The Power Light will be on any time the unit is operating. Both upper and lower heating elements will be on when toasting, baking, defrosting, top browning and keeping foods warm. Only the upper elements will be on when broiling.

CAUTION: APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT DURING AND AFTER USE.

CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE, INSULATED OVEN MITTS ON HANDS WHEN TOUCHING HOT OVEN OR HOT DISHES AND FOOD OR WHEN INSERTING OR REMOVING RACK, PAN OR BAKING DISH.

Ovenware manufacturers do not recommend using see-through glass baking containers or lids in this oven. Glass-ceramic baking containers may be used. Do not use oven roasting bags in this oven, as they may come in contact with the heating elements. If you have any questions regarding the use of either of these items, please contact the manufacturer.

Bake/Broil Pan, Rack and Broil Insert

For best results use bake/broil pan to bake, defrost, top brown, keep warm and to minimize clean-up due to spills.

For toasting, place bread directly on rack.

When broiling, both the bake/broil pan and the broil insert rack must be used.

Timer

The TIMER control dial also acts as the oven’s on and off switch. Turn the timer clockwise to select the appropriate cooking time up to 15 minutes. When cooking time is complete, a signal will sound and the unit will turn off automatically.

If you are cooking for more than 15 minutes, or do not wish to use the timer feature, simply turn the dial counter-clockwise to Stay On to turn the oven on and check on food visually. Return to OFF position when cooking is complete.

Wire Rack

The wire rack must be used for all cooking functions. It may be inserted in either the upper or lower shelf position as shown in Figure 1.

The wire rack may also be inverted for two additional positions. Each section of instructions suggests a shelf specific position, however the rack may be adjusted to accommodate different thickness of foods.
