Before first use

Place your oven on a flat surface.

Before using your oven, move it two to four inches away from the wall or from any objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surface.

OBJECTS SHOULD NOT BE STORED ON THE TOP OF THE OVEN.

IF THEY ARE, 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 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 broiling rack. If covered, the foil prevents the fat from dripping into the drip tray. Grease will accumu- late on the foil surface and may catch fire. If you choose to use foil to cover the drip tray/baking pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the wall or heating elements.

Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position B, as indicated in the diagram on page 6, for even toasting. Always position your item/items i n the middle of the rack.

WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom position or in the top position with the rack upward while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack position diagram for proper use.

Turning off the compact toaster oven broiler: Turn the timer dial to Off. The indicator light will turn off.

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 14 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.

Important Notes on Toasting

The oven rack must be in position B as indicated in the diagram on page 6. Do not position rack in the bottom position or in the top position with rack facing upward.
