IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following:
• Read all instructions before using appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children.
• This appliance is not for use by children.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and oven mitts.
• Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service center for examination, repair, electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
• Before using this appliance, move it four to six inches from the wall or
any object on the countertop. Do not store any item on top of the
appliance. Do not use on surfaces where heat may cause a problem.
• A fire may occur if this appliance touches or is covered by flammable
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, etc., when in operation.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.
• Do not cover any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the oven.
• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed
of other than metal.
• Do not place any flammable material such as paper, cardboard, plastic,
etc. in the oven.
• When broiling, the bake/broil pan and broil insert rack must be used.
• Oversized foods or utensils must not be inserted into the
toaster-oven-broiler.
• Do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. See
instructions for cleaning.
• Do not use outdoors or while standing in a damp area.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces of the pad may break off
and touch electrical parts.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Turn controls to
OFF position before unplugging. Allow to cool before attaching or
removing parts and before cleaning the appliance.
• CAUTION: Never leave toaster-oven-broiler unattended when broiling,
top browning or toasting.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• The toaster-oven-broiler is Off when the oven and timer controls are in
the Off position.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.
• Use extreme caution when removing broiling pan or disposing of hot
grease.
2
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Use attachments only if recommended by Toastmaster Inc.
• Only use appliance as indicated in these instructions.
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 13 A, 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.
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
Remove all packaging materials including the piece of paper that has been
placed between the top of the oven door and oven for protection during
shipping. Also remove the piece of cardboard that has also been placed
between the bottom of the oven door and the oven.
Your new Toastmaster toaster-oven-broiler has the versatility to bake,
defrost, broil, 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 keep foods warm. Only the upper element
will be on when broiling.
The toaster-oven-broil has an interior oven light that comes on
automatically when the oven door is opened and the oven is plugged in.
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.
ALWAYS ALLOW OVEN TO COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING LINER.
Ovenware manufacturers do not recommend using see-through glass
baking containers or lids in toaster-oven-broilers. 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, WIRE RACK AND BROIL INSERT RACK
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 wire
rack. When broiling, both the pan and the broil insert rack must be used.
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. Each
section of instructions suggest a specific rack position, however, the rack
may be adjusted to accommodate the different thickness of foods.
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
cooking time is complete, a signal will sound and the unit will turn off
automatically. If you are cooking for less than 10 minutes, using the timer
is not recommended.
