OVEN RACK POSITION GUIDE

All of our recipes give you step-by-step directions and indicate how to position the oven rack for best results. Please refer to the diagram below.

WARNING:

 Placing the rack in the lower rack position or in the upper broil position while toasting may result in a fire. Toast only in the middle 

rack position.

Set Your Clock

Plug the oven into a 120 volt AC outlet. The LCD display 
will be illuminated blue. Clock will read 12:00 am. To set 
clock, press and hold the program button until the time 
starts flashing. Scroll the dial to select am/pm and then 
press button to confirm. Scroll the dial to set hour and 
then press to confirm. Finally scroll the dial for minutes 
and then press to set. 

Additional Control Panel Icons

Add Water – Add water indicator will 
illuminate and unit will continuously beep 
and shut off when the reservoir needs to be 
filled. Fill reservoir and replace on oven. Wait 
30 seconds and press the program button. 
Oven will automatically resume from the 
point cooking cycle was interrupted. A full 
reservoir should run for approximately 2 
hours on a steam function.

dark toast. Always use crumb tray when 
toasting.

Active heating elements – Illuminate which 
heating elements are on for individual
