Close the countertop oven door.
Turn the Function control knob to the
TOAST setting.
Turn the Temperature control knob to
the right to the Broil/450 ° setting.
Turn the Toast control knob to the right
to the desired toast color; Dark, Medium
or Light. Toast ready bell will not sound
unless the control knob is turned past
first dot before turning the control to the
Light icon.
TIP: For more consistent results,
preheat countertop oven for 5 minutes
prior to first batch of toast. First batch of
toast is typically lighter than the selected
setting on a cold oven. Preheating the
countertop oven, or adding more time to
first batch, yields more accurate
toasting on first batch.
7. The bell will sound and the countertop
oven will automatically shut off when
toasting has finished.
8. Turn the Time control knob to "0" (off) if
toast is removed before the bell sounds.
9. Adjust Time control knob settings as
needed to get desired results.
NOTE: It is normal for condensation to form
on the door when toasting moist or fresh
breads.
IMPORTANT: Countertop oven will only
operate when the Toast function is selected
and the Toast timer is used to select time.
The Time control knob does not work with
the Toast function.
The upper and lower cooking elements are
on during warming.
Recommended Rack Positions:
Select the rack-positioning slots, oven rack,
and broil pan with grill positions to match
the size of food being heated. When first
using the countertop oven, position the
oven rack as shown in Position C
(bottom slot, rack up) in the "Understanding
Positions of the Oven Rack" section. Adjust
as needed for your cooking situation.
To Warm:
1. Turn the Function control knob to the
BAKE setting.
2. Turn the Temperature control knob to a
desired setting. Warm is the lowest
temperature setting available.
3. Turn the Time control knob to a desired
setting.
Setting very short times
When setting timer for 5 minutes or less,
turn the Time control knob beyond the
10-minute mark. Then, turn the knob back
to the desired time.
Are guesstimates OK?
Experience will teach you how much time to
use for toasting various kinds of bread.
Frozen, dark or whole-grain breads require a
longer time. Fresh, soft or white breads
require a shorter time.
For foods that melt
When cooking small pieces of foods or
foods that will melt, use the broil pan. This
will keep food from falling onto the cooking
elements.
To minimize cleanup
Spray the broil pan with nonstick cooking
spray for easier cleanup when cooking wet
or sticky foods. Wash pan thoroughly after
each use to avoid buildup of cooking spray.
Size limits for food
For best results, food and/or oven-safe
containers (see "Food Cooking Tips"
section) must fit into the countertop oven
without touching the cooking elements or
inside walls of oven. The door must close
completely.
When oven is off
Turn the Temperature control knob to Warm,
or minimum setting, when countertop oven
is not in use.
For extended use
When cooking for a long time at high
temperatures, you may detect a slight odor
from the oven insulation materials. This is
normal.
