Both the top and bottom elements will heat when this function is used. Recommended Positions: Use the lower slots along oven walls. Slide in the Wave-Rack™ oven rack, using a rack-up orientation (see Position C on page 8).

1.For best results, place the bread to be toasted directly on the rack and toward center of the oven.

TIP: For more consistent results, preheat oven for 5 minutes prior to first batch of toast.

7.The bell will ring and the oven will automatically shut off when the Countertop Oven has finished toasting.
