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 15minutes 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.

Caution:
Always use extreme care when removing broiler pan, wire rack or
any hot container from a hot oven. Always use an oven mitt when
removing hot items from the oven.
Warning:
To avoid risk of injury or burns, do not touch hot surfaces when
oven is in use. Always use oven mitts.
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.
