TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Unit is not heating or stops heating. Electrical outlet is not working or
oven is unplugged. Check to make sure outlet is working. Both the temperature

control and the timer must be set in order for the oven to function.
Second toasting is too dark.| Setting on toast is too dark.| If doing repeated toasting in the oven, select a shade slightly lighter than the previous setting.
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 oven door is quite common and will usually disappear during the toasting cycle. Since the oven

is closed 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.| As your a toaster oven is much smaller than a regular oven, it may

heat up faster and cook faster. Try lowering the temperature

25 °F from the suggested temperature in a recipe or on a label.

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 the CARE AND CLEANING section of this Use & Care booklet. Make sure all parts of the oven, bake pan and rack are clean.
Heating elements do not seem to be on.| The heating elements cycle on and off during baking.| Check the oven to make certain the function desired is being used.

On broil, only the top element is on.
