This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY and may be plugged into any 120-volt AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other type of outlet.
BEFORE USING:
Unpack carefully and wipe outer surfaces with a clean, damp cloth to remove
residual packing debris. Remove wire rack from unit. (See
CARE AND CLEANING,
for directions on
rack removal/replacement.) Wash wire rack and multi-purpose pan in hot, soapy water, and dry
thoroughly. Replace wire rack.
USING THE CONTROLS:
Control panel features a 15-minute timer with toast shade selections plus
an Oven On setting, a temperature control dial and a power Indicator Light that will illuminate when
toaster oven is turned on and operating. (See Fig. 2.) Before attempting to operate toaster oven, be
sure to become familiar with the controls to ensure optimum performance.
TOASTING/TOP BROWNING
For toasting:
Automatic timer allows for precise regulation of toasting time, and convenient glass door permits
close visual monitoring of bread and toaster food.
1. Remove the multi-purpose pan from oven and set it aside.
2. Place up to four slices of bread side by side on wire rack. (If toasting only a single slice, be sure
to center it on the wire rack.)
3. Turn temperature control dial to Toast position. Select toast shade preference by turning timer
to desired position (Light, Medium or Dark). Both heating elements (top and bottom) will operate
while bread is toasting.
4. When toasting is finished, bell will ring and toaster oven will shut off automatically.
5. To stop toasting cycle at any time, turn timer counterclockwise to Off position. Timer bell
will ring.
6. If additional toasting time is preferred, reset timer function and monitor toast visually until
desired shade has been reached.
Toasting Tips
•
Exact toasting settings are difficult to recommend due to personal preference; experiment to
suit individual taste. Initially, we suggest toasting a slice or two at the Medium setting, as
results will vary according to a particular type of bread's humidity, thickness and texture.
•
Bear in mind that 4 slices will toast lighter than a single slice, whatever the setting, so allow
some additional toasting time for larger quantities of bread.
•
Remember that thicker breads, toaster pastries and any foods containing fillings will require
a longer toasting time.
•
Some condensation may form on door when oven is heating very moist baked goods. This will
not affect the toasting.
•
Remove bread promptly after toasting to avoid over-toasting by residual heat.
For top-browning:
Use to brown, melt or crisp cheese and crumbs and other food toppings on many dishes.
1. Position food in the multi-purpose pan, place it in the oven and close the door. Do not place
food directly on wire rack.
2. Set temperature control dial at BROIL position, and set timer at 1-15 minutes or continuous On
setting. Only the top heating element will operate.
3. Monitor food while it is browning. Do not leave toaster oven unattended.
4. Length of browning time will vary according to user preference and items being browned.
5. When browning is completed, switch unit Off and remove food from oven.
BAKING
1. Set control dial to temperature specified by recipe or directions on packaging of item
being prepared.
2. Set timer at 5 minutes and allow oven to preheat at temperature specified.
3. While oven is preheating, place food on multi-purpose pan. When timer bell rings, place the
pan atop the wire rack inside the oven.
4. Close the oven door, and reset timer for desired baking time. For baking function, both heating
elements will operate.
5. If baking time designated is 15 minutes or less, set the timer as specified in recipe or on
package. Bell will ring and oven will shut off automatically when baking is complete.
6. If food requires a longer baking time, set timer to continuous On position, and monitor visually
until item has finished baking.
7. Turn unit off manually, and remove food from oven.
NOTE:
Even when using timer, it is important to check food periodically to ensure that it is baking
properly.
BROILING
1. Place food to be broiled in multi-purpose pan, and set pan on top of wire rack inside the oven.
NEVER place food directly on wire rack
.
Close the oven door.
2. Rotate the temperature control dial to the BROIL position, and switch oven On. It is not
necessary to preheat.
3. In this setting, only the upper heating element will operate.
4. If broiling time required is 15 minutes or less, set the timer as desired. Bell will ring and oven
will shut off automatically when broiling is complete.
5. Although food cooks very quickly at this setting, and 15 minutes of broiling should be sufficient
for most items, if anything does require a longer broiling time, set timer to continuous On
position, and monitor visually until item has finished broiling.
6. For even broiling, turn food over when it is about half-cooked.
7. When broiling has finished, switch off and remove food from oven.
NOTE: Always monitor food very carefully when broiling to avoid overcooking.
DEFROSTING
1. Do not preheat oven.
2. Remove all plastic and paper wrappings from item to be defrosted, and place it in the
multi-purpose pan. Set the pan on the wire rack inside the oven, and close the door.
HOW TO USE
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, the marked
electrical rating shall be at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension
cord should not be allowed to drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this
indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to
our Service Department or to an authorized service representative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the
cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
