Care and Cleaning

Your Toaster Oven should be cleaned regularly for best performance
and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire hazard.
1. Unplug and allow to cool completely.
2. Wash Oven Rack, Bake/Broil Pan, Air Fry Basket, and Crumb Tray in
hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
3. To clean inside of Toaster Oven, wipe oven walls, bottom of Oven,
and glass door with a damp, soapy cloth. Repeat with a damp, clean
cloth. For stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad.

Troubleshooting

Toaster Oven will not heat.
• Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and Oven is plugged
in. Turn Temperature Dial to 350°F (177°C). Turn Function Dial to
BAKE; then turn Timer counterclockwise to Stay On while pressing
and holding buttons on side of Dial.
Moisture forms on inside of oven door when toasting.
• This is normal when toasting in a toaster oven. Moisture is slower
to escape from a toaster oven than from a toaster. The amount of
moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastries.
An odor and smoke come from the Toaster Oven.
• Smoke and odor are normal during first use of most heating
appliances. These will not be present after initial heating period.
How large a bake pan will the Oven hold?
• The Oven will hold up to 10" round or square cake pan, 10" pie plate
or 12" pizza pan.
How big a chicken will the Oven handle?
• The Oven will hold up to 3 1/2 pounds (1.6 kg) chicken pieces.
When should I chose Air Fry, Bake or Broil?
• Choose Air Fry to brown and crisp foods quickly.
• Choose Bake for foods such as roasts, potatoes, or cakes.
• Choose Broil to brown foods such as beef, chicken, fish, pork, and
casseroles.

w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not clean with metal
scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts.
4. Use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner to clean exterior stainless
steel areas. Apply cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth.
5. Wipe outside of Toaster Oven with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
Toaster Oven will not toast.
• Check to make sure outlet is working and Oven is plugged in. Turn
Temperature Dial to Toast/Broil. Turn Function Dial to TOAST; then
rotate Timer clockwise past 10 and then back to the desired toast
color.
Some foods burn and some are not done.
• Adjust oven rack position to center food in Oven.
• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your
recipes.
If I want to toast bread, what setting is best?
• Toast mode is best for toasting both sides of sliced breads or
English muffins. Use Broil mode for open-faced sandwiches, bagels,
baguettes and crostini. Broil mode activates top heating element and
is great when toasting is required on one side only (e.g. bagels or
English muffins), or the breads can be flipped when desired level of
browning is reached.
Where is the Slide-Out Crumb Tray?
• Slide-Out Crumb Tray is located inside Oven under bottom heating
elements.
