Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.

Before Using Your Convection Toaster Oven

1.Read all of the instructions included in this manual.

2.Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the time control is in the “OFF” position.

3.Wash all the accessories in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.

4.Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven. Plug oven into outlet and you are ready to use your new Toaster Oven with Convection.

5.After re-assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the highest temperature (450°F.) on the toast function for approximately 15 minutes to eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping. This will also remove all traces of odor initially present.

Please Note: Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless. It is due to burning of the protective substance applied to the heating elements in the factory.

Convection Cooking

Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the regular features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler. Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food significantly faster than conventional ovens.
