Operation
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 water to the bottom of the drip tray to reduce sizzling and splattering. Place the broiling rack in the drip tray. 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 6).
To broil, set temperature and function dials to broil. Turn ON/Toast shade dial to the ON position. Put food on the broiling rack and set in the drip tray. Place tray on the oven rack.
To stop broil operation, turn dial to off position. Note: Never use glass oven dishes to broil.
Bake
To bake, turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature, turn function dial to bake position and turn ON/Toast shade dial to the ON position. The oven indicator light will turn on. Preheat oven for three to five minutes (time will vary depending upon desired temperature); then begin to bake. You will need to turn off the oven manually by turning the ON/
Toast shade dial to the OFF position.
Warm
To keep food warm, turn the temperature dial to Warm; turn the function dial to warm position and set the ON/Toast shade dial to the always ON position. The oven indicator light will turn on. Place food on the wire rack or in the baking pan. When warming, we recommend placing oven rack in the B position, (see rack position diagram on page 6). You will need to turn off the oven manually by turning the ON/Toast shade dial to the OFF position.
Toast
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in position B (as indicated in the diagram on page 6.) If toasting two items, center them in the middle of the rack. Four items should be evenly spaced – two in front, two in back.
Shade Selection
Turn temperature dial to Toast/Broil. Set function dial to Toast. Turn the ON/ Toast shade dial to desired shade setting from light to dark within the marked settings on this dial. This will turn on the compact toaster oven broiler and the oven indicator light will turn on.
Stop Toasting
When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will ring once and turn off. If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply turn the ON/Toast shade dial to Off. The compact toaster oven broiler will cancel your toast cycle.
