HELPFUL BAKING HINTS

To obtain best performance from this toaster-oven-broiler:

•Do not overfill the oven. Whenever possible, place foods in center of oven.

•Avoid opening the door too frequently to prevent heat loss.

•Foil may be used to cover the baking dish or pan. Be sure the ends of foil are tucked closely against the edge of the baking dish/pan.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES FOR BAKING

•Cookie sheet: must be placed directly on the wire rack as shown in the figure, the rack inserted in the lower slot. This is necessary to cook cookies and pastry.

•Muffin pan: butter and flour the molds before filling them. Pre-

heat the oven to the desired temperature before inserting the muf- fin pan on the wire rack in the lower slot.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROILING

Always use the multi-purpose oven tray with the wire rack for broiling. No preheating of the broiler is necessary. Do not leave the broiler unattended when in use. Do not cover the oven wire rack with foil. This prevents fat and oils from draining, causing spatter and smoking, and also restricts air cir- culation for proper ventilation.

BROILING

1. Place the accessories as follows:

If the oven is not provided with the broiler rack

-Insert the wire rack in the upper slot (please see page 4).

-Place the multi-purpose oven tray directly on the lower heating ele- ment reflector (please see page 4).

-Put the food to be broiled on the wire rack.

If the oven is provided with the broiler rack

- Put the broiling rack inside the multi-purpose oven tray, as shown in figure

-Place the food to be broiled on the broiling rack.

-Insert the wire rack in the lower slot (please see page 4) and then put the broiling assembly with

the food on the wire rack.

Always allow 1" between food and upper heating element.

In order to reduce bad smell, smoke and spattering: before starting the broiling process, pour half a glass of water in the multi-purpose oven tray.

2.Turn the upper knob clockwise to “BROIL”.

3.Turn the lower knob counterclockwise to "OVEN/BROIL”.

4.When broiling is finished, turn the lower knob to “Off” and the upper knob to position " ". Care

should be taken when removing the oven tray and disposing of the grease collected while broiling. Note: While smoke is an inherent characteristic of good broiling, the following tips should eliminate or greatly reduce smoking:

•Trim excess fat from meat and score the edges to prevent curling.

•For best results, thaw frozen meats before broiling. These two precautions will reduce or eliminate smoke from the broiler.

•Placing the food on the rack allows the juices and fat to drip into the oven tray and decreases spattering while broiling (in particular if you have poured half glass of water).
