SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Polarized Plug
This appliance is equipped with 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. This is a safety feature. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not attempt to modify this
plug in any way. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of this
polarized plug.
A short power-supply cord
is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Avoid the use
of an extension cord because it may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
However, if you must use an extension cord, the marked electrical rating
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your toaster oven for the first time, be sure to do the following:
• Read all instructions in this manual carefully.
• Place the oven on a dry, level surface at least 4 inches away from the wall and
other objects on the countertop.
• Remove all accessories and packing materials from the oven.
• Wash the handgrip, broiling rack, oven pan, wire rack, and crumb tray with
warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls of the oven. Do not use a
spray or abrasive polishing agent. Do not touch the electric heating elements
and do not soak the inside of the oven with water.
• Wipe the exterior surfaces and door handle.
• Unwind the power cord and plug it into a standard polarized wall outlet.
• Place the broiling rack, oven pan, wire rack, and crumb tray inside the oven
and close the oven door. Do not place the handgrip inside the oven. Preheat
the oven at the highest temperature for 20 minutes. Afterwards, preheating will
not be necessary. Turn off the oven. A small amount of smoke and odor may
be detected. This is normal and will only last a few minutes. Open the door to
let out any smoke residue inside the oven. Let the accessories cool before
handling.

COOKING FUNCTIONS
Follow the guidelines in the chart above for tips on rack positioning and cooking.
Caution! Never place oven pans, casserole dishes or any other accessories
directly onto the heating elements when the oven is in use.
Hints & Tips
For best performance:
• Do not overfill the oven. Whenever possible, place foods in the center of the
oven.
• Avoid opening the door too frequently so as to prevent heat loss.
Keep Warm
Use this setting to keep cooked foods warm for short periods of time without
overcooking. Do not use this function for prolonged periods or use this feature to
reheat frozen or cold foods.
1. Place the food to be kept warm on the wire rack.
2. Set the temperature knob.
3. Turn the timer knob to the desired position.
4. Once the ‘’keep warm” function is no longer needed, turn the temperature
knob to the OFF position.
Bake
Use the oven pan to bake cookies, biscuits, rolls, etc. Place the oven pan directly
on the removable wire rack. Refer to the table on page 8 for wire rack
positioning.
Note: Uncovered casseroles and baking dishes may be placed directly on the
removable wire rack but make sure that they are placed at least 1 inch away
from the upper heating elements.
1. Close the oven door.
2. Set the temperature knob to the desired setting.
3. Turn the timer knob.
4. When baking is completed, turn the temperature knob to the OFF position.

Top Browning
Top browning is ideal for melting, crisping and toasting food surfaces. Use it for
open-faced sandwiches, buttered muffins or browning cooked casseroles.
1. Place the food on the oven pan and place the oven pan on the wire rack.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Turn the temperature knob to the desired position.
4. Set the timer knob.
5. When experimenting with new uses, monitor the cooking process to avoid
over-browning.
6. When the surface has browned to the desired color and the browning cycle is
completed, turn the temperature knob to the OFF position.
Broiling
Always insert the broiling rack into the oven pan when broiling. No preheating of
the broiler is necessary. Do not leave the broiler unattended when in use.
Caution! Never cover the wire rack with foil. This prevents fats and oils from
draining into the pan below, which will cause spattering and smoking. The foil
also restricts air circulation and proper ventilation.
1. Place the wire rack into the oven as shown above in the table on page 8.
2. Dry the meat, poultry or fish with a paper towel.
3. To reduce the spattering, pour 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the oven pan.
4. Set the broiling rack inside the oven pan. Place the food to be broiled on the
broiling rack, then put the assembly on the wire rack.
Note: Fish can be broiled directly on the oven pan since it is non-fatty.
5. Turn the temperature knob to the desired position.
6. Set the timer knob.
7. If the grease “pops” during the cooking process, turn the temperature knob to
a lower setting.
8. Care should be taken when turning food, removing the oven pan from the
oven and disposing of grease collected in the oven pan while browning.
Always use the handgrip or oven mitts.
9. A bell chime will signal that broiling is finished. Turn the temperature knob to
the OFF position.
10. Once the grease from the pan has cooled, wash the pan and the broiling
rack.
11. Clean the inside of the oven after each use. Accumulation of grease will
cause smoking. Wipe with a damp sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning
solution.

Hints & Tips
• For best results, thaw frozen meats before broiling. This will reduce the amount
of smoke from the broiler.
• If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1-1/2 to 2 times the required
broiling time as that required for thawed meat.
Toasting
Always use the wire rack when toasting bread, sandwiches, muffins, frozen
waffles, etc.
• The wire rack can accommodate up to 4 slices of bread. However, for better
results, toast only 2 slices at a time.
• Arrange the slices of bread as shown below:
Toasting one slice
Toasting two slices
Toasting four slices
1. Place the wire rack as shown in the table on page 8.
2. Center the food to be toasted on the wire rack.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Set the temperature and the timer knobs.
Note: When using the toaster oven for the first time, set both the temperature
knob and the timer knob to a medium setting. Monitor the toasting
progress and adjust the knobs as needed.
5. When toasting, both the top and bottom heating elements will be turned on in
order to brown both sides of the food at the same time. To stop the toasting
process, interrupt the cycle by turning the timer knob to the OFF position.
This will shut the unit off without damaging the toaster oven. To continue
toasting after a cycle has ended, restart the oven by turning the timer knob
clockwise.
6. Condensation may build up on the inside of the glass door. This is normal. It
will evaporate during the toasting cycle.
7. Once the cycle has been completed, a bell will chime and the heating
elements will shut off automatically. Turn the temperature knob to the OFF
position.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance and safe operation, always keep the unit clean and
free of grease and buildup of food particles.
• Unplug the toaster oven from the wall outlet and allow it to cool before
cleaning.
• Remove the wire rack. Use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild liquid soap
solution to wipe the interior walls of the toaster oven. Never use harsh abra-
sives, corrosive products or spray detergents.
• Do not clean the interior with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off and
touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.
• Do not soak the inside of the oven or wash it under running water, as this will
cause serious damage to the appliance.
• Do not use sharp or hard kitchen utensils on the oven since this could damage
the surface of the appliance.
• To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or a damp cloth. Wipe dry with a
clean cloth.
• Wipe the exterior finish with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stub-
born stains, a non-abrasive liquid cleaner or glass cleaner may be used. Do
not use metal scouring pads, as they might mar the finish. Always remove
cleaning agents by polishing with a clean dry cloth.
• The wire rack, oven pan and broiling rack should be removed and washed
with running water and detergent, or in a dishwasher after each use.
• Slide the crumb tray out from the bottom of the oven. Wash by hand under
running water with a mild soap detergent. For tough stains, soak the crumb
tray with hot soapy water and scrub with a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and
wipe dry before replacing in the oven.
• If the oven has not been used for a long time, be sure to remove dust and
moisture before operating.
• If servicing is required, contact an authorized service representative for
instructions.
