Before you begin:
Place your oven on a flat surface.
Before using your oven, move it two to four inches (5 to 10 cm) away from the wall or from any objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat sensitive surface. DO NOT STORE OBJECTS ON THE TOP OF THE OVEN. IF YOU
DO, REMOVE ALL OBJECTS BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR OVEN. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Baking: Baking function can be used as you would normally use your large kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or baking cakes, cookies and more.
Broiling: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more.
It also can be used to top brown casseroles and gratins. Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the drip tray. Foil is extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch fire. The use of foil is not recommended, but if foil is used to cover broiling pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods. Never cover crumb tray.
Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position “B”, as indicated in the dia- gram on page 5, for even toasting. Always centre your item/items in the mid- dle of the rack.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom position or in the top position with the rack upwards while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack position diagram for proper use.
Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Turn the function dial to off. The indicator will turn off.
USE AND CARE
Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that there is nothing in the oven. Plug power cord into the wall outlet.
Broil:
Note: When broiling, add approximately 1/4 cup (50 ml) water to the bottom of the broiling pan to reduce sizzling and splattering. Place the drip tray in the broiling pan. Note: There are two positions for the drip tray so that a variety of thicknesses of foods can be broiled. Also, the oven rack can be turned up or down depending on the thickness of the food being broiled. In most cases the oven rack should be in the higher position (position “C” - see rack position diagram on page 5).
To broil, set temperature and function dials to broil. Preheat oven for five minutes with door closed. After the
To stop broil operation, turn function dial to off position.
Bake:
To bake, turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature and turn func- tion dial to bake position. The oven indicator light will turn on. Preheat oven for five minutes, then begin to bake.
Toast:
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in rack position “B”, as indicated in the diagram on page 5. If toasting two items, centre them in the middle of the rack. Four items should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back.
Six items should be evenly spaced – three in front, three in back. Close the glass door.
Browning Selection:
Set function dial to toast. Turn toast shade dial to desired browning setting. Press "Start" button to begin toasting.
