SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

CORD PLUG

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. 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 into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

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.
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.

Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power -supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Before you use this product for the first time, please take a few moments to read these instructions and keep them for reference. Pay particular attention to the Safety Instructionsprovided. Please review the product service and warranty statements.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS

USING THE CONTROLS

The oven has a 30-minute timer with optional STAY ON feature, a
Temperature/Mode control and a Power Indicator Light. Before attempting to operate the toaster oven, be sure to become familiar with the controls to ensure optimum performance.

Power Indicator Light

The light will be illuminated when the oven is operating. The light will illuminate as soon as the timer is set or turned to the STAY ON position.

Timer

The timer can be set by rotating the knob clockwise. When the timer is set the unit will be ON and operating. When the timer completes a cycle it will sound an audible bell and turn the unit OFF.

NOTE
When setting the timer to less than 5 minutes always rotate the Timer Knob past 10 minutes and then rotate back to the desired time. This will ensure a more accurate time setting.
To use the STAY ON feature, rotate the Timer Knob counterclockwise. The oven will remain ON until the Timer Knob is manually rotated back to the OFF position.

Temperature/Mode

The temperature of the oven cavity may be controlled up to 450°F.
Rotate the Temperature Knob clockwise to the desired setting.

Both heating elements function when the unit is set from 150°F to 450°F setting. On the Bake setting only the bottom element functions. The oven temperature is maintained at approximately 400°F-425°F.
On the Broil setting only the top element functions. The oven temperature is maintained at approximately 425°F-450°F.

Toast Mode

This oven has a Toast setting on the Temperature Knob. Both elements will function on the Toast setting. The heating elements will cycle On and Off. See Toasting Instructions in the USING YOUR TOASTER OVEN section.

Baking rack positions

This oven has two positions for the baking rack. The upper position should typically be used for broiling. The lower position is best suited for baking and toasting.

Exact positions are difficult to recommend due to personal preference. Experiment with different rack positions to suit individual taste.

NOTE
Unless toasting bread never place food directly on the baking rack.
Always use baking pan.

USING YOUR TOASTER OVEN

Before use remove any packing materials and wipe the body of your toaster oven with a damp cloth. Remove baking rack and baking pan. Wash baking rack and pan in hot, soapy water, and dry thoroughly. Place oven on a flat counter or other stable surface. Position oven at least 3 inches away from wall or rear of counter. Make sure that nothing has been placed on top of the oven.

NOTE
Ensure that before plugging the toaster oven into the outlet, all controls are in the OFF position. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, 60 Hz AC outlet.
For the first time only, turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F and the Timer Knob to 15 minutes. This will burn off any residue or oils still on the oven or elements.

NOTE
The oven may lightly smoke during this process. This is normal for a new oven and should not last more than 10-15 minutes.

DO NOT WRAP THE CORD AROUND THE MAIN BODY OF APPLIANCE DURING OR AFTER USE.

Toasting

1. Place bread on the baking rack and close oven door.
2. Turn Temperature Knob to the Toast setting (just past 450°F).
3. Select toast shade preference by turning the Timer Knob clockwise to desired toast setting (LIGHT, MED or DARK).

NOTE
When setting the timer to less than 5 minutes always rotate the Timer Knob past 5 minutes (Med) and then rotate back to the desired time. This will ensure an accurate time setting.

Never use the STAY ON position when toasting. The power light will be illuminated and both heating elements will operate while bread is toasting. When the timer has completed the cycle, a bell will sound and the unit will shut off. To stop the toasting cycle early, turn the Timer Knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.

Toasting Tips

• Exact toasting settings are difficult to recommend due to personal preference. Experiment to suit individual taste.
• Results will vary depending on a particular type of bread's moisture, thickness and texture.
• Remember that thicker breads, toaster pastries and any foods containing fillings will require a longer toasting time.
• Remove bread promptly after toasting to avoid over-toasting by residual heat.
• Any pastry or foods containing fillings will be very hot. Always remove with caution.

Baking

1. Set the Temperature Knob to the Bake setting.
2. Rotate Timer Knob clockwise to 5 minutes (Med) and allow oven to preheat.
3. While oven is preheating, place food on multipurpose pan. When timer bell sounds and oven has turned OFF, place the pan atop the baking rack inside the oven.
   
   INSIDE OF OVEN WILL BE HOT. USE OVEN MITTS OR HOT PADS TO PREVENT BURNING.
4. Close oven door. For baking times of 30 minutes or less rotate the Timer Knob clockwise to the desired time. The power light will be illuminated. Only the bottom element will function during the Bake setting.
5. When timer bell sounds and unit is OFF, open door and remove food from oven.
6. For longer baking times, rotate the Timer Knob counterclockwise to the STAY ON setting. In the STAY ON setting the unit will remain ON and not shut OFF until the Timer Knob is manually rotated back to the OFF position.

NOTE
Always monitor food very carefully to avoid overcooking.

Broiling

1. Place food to be broiled in the baking pan and set pan on top of baking rack inside the oven. NEVER place food directly on the baking rack. Close oven door.
2. Rotate the Temperature Knob clockwise to the Broil setting.
3. For items requiring a broiling time of 30 minutes or less rotate the Timer Knob clockwise to the desired time. The power light will be illuminated. Only the top element will function during broiling. When the timer has completed the cycle, a bell will sound and the unit will shut off.
4. For longer broiling times, rotate the Timer Knob counterclockwise to the STAY ON setting. In the STAY ON setting the unit will remain ON and not shut OFF until the Timer Knob is manually rotated back to the OFF position.
5. For even broiling, turn food over when it is about half cooked.

NOTE
Always monitor food very carefully when broiling to avoid overcooking.

USEFUL HINTS

1. Smoke may appear during broiling or baking. When broiling, it is always recommended to cut off excess fat on food before placing it in oven to minimize smoke. If oven smokes during baking, this usually means the banking pan is dirty and requires cleaning. See CARE AND CLEANING.
2. Some items may produce condensation on the oven door. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
3. Frozen foods and thick meat will take longer to cook.
4. To prevent heat loss, avoid opening the door during cooking unless absolutely necessary.
5. When toasting, remember that frozen bread or multiple slices will require a longer toasting time.
6. Except when toasting, NEVER place items directly on baking rack. Always use the multipurpose pan.
7. Remove all plastic and paper wrappings from food before cooking.
8. Always make sure there is adequate s pace between top of food being cooked and upper heating element.
9. When setting the timer to less than 5 minutes always rotate the Timer Knob past 5 minutes (Med) and then rotate back to the desired time. This will ensure an accurate time setting.

Use these oven temperatures and food suggestions as a guide. If using a packaged food, always follow the time and temperature recommendation on the package label. The exact cooking time and temperature will be effected by desired doneness, thickness of food, starting temperature, pan shape and material and other factors.
