SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. 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.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. 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.

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.

Bake/Broil Pan, Toast Rack
And Broil Insert

For best results use 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
2 hours. When timer is complete, a signal will sound and the unit will
turn off automatically. If cooking for less than 10 minutes, using the
timer is not recommended.

5.

If you do not wish to use the timer feature, turn the dial to STAY ON
to turn the oven on and watch food for doneness. Turn dial 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 rack position as shown in Figure 1.

The wire rack may also be inverted for two additional positions
(see Figure 3). Each section of instructions suggest a rack specific
position. However, the rack may be adjusted to accommodate the
different thickness of foods.
