Caution
a
B
iMportant:   this oven gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the oven (D). 
note:  Set oven to BAKe  at 350º F and set timer to 20 minutes 
without any food in oven to burn off any oils used in production. 
The On indicator light comes on and will remain lit during the 
entire baking time.  during first few minutes of use you may 
notice smoke and a slight odor.  This is normal and should cause no concern.
sLiDe  raCK  positions
There are 4 possible positions for the slide racks.  There is an upper and a lower slot; the rack can also be inverted for 2 additional positions  (e).  
note:
  All 4 positions can be used when baking; when broiling because the bake/broil pan is inserted under the rack, the rack can only be placed in 2 positions:  Position 2 and 4.
HeLpFuL Hints  aBout Your oven
•  When the oven is turned on, the indicator light will come on and remain illuminated until 
the oven is turned off manually or automatically when the timer has been used.
•  When selecting baking time for a particular product or recipe include preheat time.
• This oven has a 60 minute timer.  If baking something that will 
take longer than 60 minutes, we suggest you use the STAY On 
feature (F) (see page 8). 
•  Metal, ovenproof glass and ceramic bake ware without lids 
 can be used in the oven. If foods require covering use aluminum foil.
•  Be sure the top of the container or food being baked or broiled 
is at least 1½ inches away from the upper heating elements.

BroiLinG tips • Placing food on rack reduces calories, allows the drippings to 
flow into the bake/broil pan and helps to eliminate or prevent smoking from the broiler (L).
•  For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before 
broiling.
•  If frozen steaks and chops are broiled allow 1½ to 2 times the 
broiling time as required for fresh meats.
•  Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
•  Brush foods to be broiled with oil and season as desired before broiling.
•  Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled directly on bake/broil pan 
placed on the slide rack.
•  There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks 
midway through broiling cycle.
•  If broiler “pops” during broiling, reduce the temperature or lower the food in the oven.
•  Wash bake/broil pan and clean inside of oven after each use with non-abrasive cleaner 
and hot soapy water. Too much grease accumulation will cause smoking. toastinG BreaD

proBLeM possiBLe Cause soLution
Oven is not heating or stops  heating.Oven is not plugged in or outlet is not working.
Check that all three knobs are set to the appropriate setting and the blue light is on.  Check that outlet is working.
Second toasting is too dark.Toast setting selected is too dark.When doing repeated toast cycles remember to select a slightly lighter setting for the 2nd and 3rd toasting.
Moisture forms on the inside of the door during toasting.
The amount of moisture in the product being toasted will vary from one manufacturer to another.
The moisture that forms on the door is common and usually disappears before the completion of the toasting cycle. Because the oven is a closed appliance, the moisture cannot evaporate as it would in a toaster.
Food is overcooked or undercooked.Temperature and/or cook time may need to be adjusted.
Since the toaster oven is much smaller than a conventional oven it may cook faster.  Try lowering the temperature setting 25 degrees from the suggested setting in a recipe or label directions. Be sure to check food at minimum cooking time recommended in a recipe or on a package.
There is a burnt food odor or smoking when oven is in use.
There are remnants of food on the walls of the oven or in the crumb tray. refer to the directions in 
C
Are & CleAnInG
 in this manual.  Make sure all parts of the oven are clean and free of debris.
Heating elements do not seem to be on.The heating elements in the toaster oven will cycle on and off during baking. This is normal.
