OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR
TOASTER OVEN
Place the Toaster Oven on a dry, flat,
level surface such as a countertop or
table. Be sure the sides, back and top of
the oven are at least four inches (10 cm)
away from any walls, cabinets or objects
on the counter or table. Plug the cord
into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC-only outlet.
We recommend a trial run at a high
temperature to familiarize yourself
with your oven and to eliminate any
protective substance or oil that may
have been used for packing and
shipping. Set the Temperature Control
to and the Time Control to 10 minutes. A
small amount of smoke and odor may
be detected. This is normal.
Familiarize yourself with these oven
functions prior to the first use:
BAKING AND HEATING
When this function is used, the bottom
element will cycle on and off to
maintain the desired oven temperature.
1. When baking or heating, we
recommend preheating the oven for
10 minutes before placing your food
into the oven. Turn the temperature
knob to the desired temperature.
Turn the timer clockwise to the
10 minute mark. When the 10
minutes has elapsed, the timer bell
will ring and the toaster oven will
automatically shut off.
2. Place the food to be baked/heated
into the centre of the toaster oven.
Close door.

3. Ensuring that the temperature
control is set to your desired
temperature, turn the timer knob
to the required cooking time as per
package or recipe instructions.
4. When the set time has elapsed, the
timer bell will ring and the toaster
oven will automatically shut off.
5. When baking or heating for more
than 60 minutes, turn the time
control knob to the STAY ON
position. When the food is done,
turn the time control knob to the
OFF position.
DEFROSTING
To defrost frozen foods, follow
instructions 2 - 4 in the "BAKING
& HEATING" section; however, we
recommend setting the temperature
control to the lowest setting of 200°F
when defrosting. For food safety
reasons, always be cautious when
defrosting foods in your toaster oven.
• Thaw pieces or portions only if
they are small enough to thaw in
an hour or less on the counter. Do
not let your food come to room
temperature.
• Thawed food held too long or
brought to a warm temperature can
cause bacteria to form.
• Large amounts of food should be
defrosted in a refrigerator.
• Ensure foods are fully defrosted
before cooking unless specified to
cook from frozen.
NOTE: · This oven is not recommended for
defrosting meats, dairy products, fish
and seafood.
SET UP & USE
BROILING/TOP BROWNING
Only the top element will heat when this
oven function is used.
1. Place the food to be broiled on the
Baking/Drip Pan and close the oven
door.
2. Turn the Temperature Control
clockwise to the Broil setting.
3. Turn the Time Control clockwise to
the desired time.
4. When broiling food that needs to
be cooked on both sides, set the
Time Control for the time necessary
to cook on one side. When the bell

Rack and Drip/Baking Pan about
half way out of the oven with a pot
holder. Turn the food over, slide the
Rack/Pan into the oven and close

TOASTING
Both the top and bottom elements will
heat continuously when this

1. For best results, do not use Baking/
Drip Pan when toasting. Put the
bread to be toasted directly on the
rack in the center of the oven. Close
the door. Toast up to four slices of
bread. When toasting only one or
two slices of bread, center the bread
in the oven.
2. Turn the temperature control

3. Turn the Time Control clockwise to
the desired toasting time.
Light 0-3 Minutes
Medium 4-6 Minutes
Dark 7-10 Minutes
4. The bell will ring and the oven will
automatically shut off when the
toast is done.
The Toaster Oven has a fully automatic
60-minute timer. For accurate toasting
times under 10 minutes, turn the Time
Control to at least 10 minutes and then
back to the desired time.
It is normal for condensation to form on
the door when toasting moist or fresh
breads.
