Toastation^® is intended to prepare foods most commonly cooked in a toaster oven: appetizers, pizza, bagels, chicken nuggets, fries, and toaster pastries. It was designed with these foods in mind.

• Most foods should be baked according to package or recipe directions. Watch carefully and adjust time or temperature if needed.
• To reheat pizza, never place box in Oven. Cook at 450ºF (230ºC) for 3 minutes or until ready.
• For crisp crust pizza, cook frozen pizza directly on Oven Rack.
• For soft crust pizza, cook on Baking Pan.
• For baked potato, bake directly on Oven Rack at 400ºF (204ºC) for 1 hour.
• For a homemade crust pizza (or any soft dough), cook pizza on Baking Pan.
• To toast regular toaster pastry or frozen pastry, toast directly on Oven Rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use Baking Pan.
• When toasting, condensation may form on oven door. A toaster oven is enclosed so moisture is slow to escape. After use, wipe door to dry and make cleanup easier.
• Remove food immediately or heat remaining in Oven will continue to bake and dry out your food.

Care and Cleaning

Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts.

Your Toastation^® should be cleaned regularly for best performance and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire hazard.

1. Unplug Toastation ® and allow to cool.
2. Hand-wash Oven Rack and Baking Pan in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Troubleshooting

Oven will not heat

• Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and the Oven is plugged in. Ensure that ON/OFF Button has been pressed after setting desired temperature.
• Make sure Mode Selector is set to OVEN.
• Oven turns off automatically after 2 hours.

Moisture forms on inside of oven door when toasting

• This is normal when toasting in a toaster oven. Moisture is slower to escape from toaster oven than from a toaster. The amount of moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastries.

An odor and smoke comes from Oven

• Smoke and odor are normal during the first use of most heating appliances. This will not be present after the initial heating period.

Indicator light stays on

• It is normal for the green Oven Light to be illuminated when the unit is plugged in. If the red Power Light stays on after the ON/OFF Button is pressed to cancel toasting or baking, unplug unit and call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Do not continue to use your Toaster Oven.

Some foods burn and some are not done

• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.

• Do not use in toaster mode with food that has been spread with butter, jelly, frosting, etc.
• Do not use in toaster mode with rice cakes, fried foods, frozen prepared foods, or nonbread items.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door. The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break, however it breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to avoid scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or nick, call our tollfree customer service number.

When heavy foods are on the oven rack, do not pull the oven rack out more than halfway. To baste or check for doneness, remove food from the oven and place on heat-resistant countertop surface or trivet.

Do not place bake pan directly on heat shields that protect lower heating elements.
