IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
GROUNDED PLUG
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only 
fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper 
connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult 
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a)  A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from 
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b)  Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in 
their use.
c)  If an 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, and
 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. 
   If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should  
   be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal 
of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to 
remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be 
done only by authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified 
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
❑ Do not cover crumb tray or any parts of the oven with metal foil. This will 
cause overheating of the oven.
❑ To stop toasting, broiling or baking turn the controls to OFF.
❑ Use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing of hot grease.

BROILING TIPS (O)
• Placing food on broil rack allows the drippings to flow into the drip tray pan and helps to eliminate or prevent smoking from the broiler.
• To prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements, be sure food does not extend past the edges of the drip tray.
• Be sure the top of the food is at least 1½ inches from the top heating element.
• 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.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
• Brush foods to be broiled with sauce or oil and season as desired before broiling.
• Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled on bake pan without the broil 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.
Important: Wash broiler pan and clean inside of oven after each use with nonabrasive cleaner and hot water. Too much grease accumulation will cause smoking.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEMPOSSIBLE CAUSESOLUTION
Oven is not heating or stops heating.Oven is not plugged in or outlet is not working.Check that the temperature and time settings have been properly entered and that the digital display is lit and shows the 
oven is in preheat or has reached preset temperature. Check that outlet is working.
Second toasting is too dark.Setting on toast 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 glass door during toasting.The amount of moisture differs in different products, whether bread, bagels or frozen pastries.
The moisture that forms on the door is common and usually disappears before the final 30% of the toasting cycle. As this oven is a closed appliance, the moisture cannot evaporate as it would in a traditional toaster.
Food is overcooked or undercooked.Temperature and 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.
There is burnt food odor or smoking when oven is being used.
There are remnants of food in crumb tray or on the walls of the oven.
Refer to the directions in Care & Cleaning in this booklet. Make sure all parts of the oven are clean and free of debris.
Heating elements do not seem to be on.The heating elements cycle on and off during baking.Check toaster oven to make sure proper function is selected. On Broil, only the top heating elements will be on.
