BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Wash the removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse well, drain, and air dry.
Leave enough space (150 mm) around the unit to allow heat to flow without damage to adjacent cabinets and walls.
Your oven may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.

GENERAL OPERATION

TO TURN ON

For cooking functions, use the Temperature/Cooking function control to select a temperature, or cooking mode (toast, airfry, grill). Next, select a cooking time using Timer 1, or select the ‘stay on’ setting.
For toasting, set the Temperature/Cooking function control to the ‘toast’ setting. Next, select the toast shade using Timer 2.

TO TURN OFF

Rotate the timers to the ‘O’ position and the Temperature/Cooking function control to the ‘min’ position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This appliance gets hot. When in use, always use oven gloves or pot holders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.
You must set the timer or use the ‘stay on’ setting for the toaster oven to function.
Be sure food or the baking dish does not come within 40 mm of the top heating elements.
Fit the bake pan/drip tray as required below greasy or fatty foods. Food should not extend beyond the edges of the tray to avoid drippings from falling onto the heating elements where it may cause smoke and be difficult to clean.

TOASTING

Set the Temperature/Cooking function control to the toast position.
Open the door and insert the wire shelf in the bottom slot.
Place items to be toasted directly onto the wire shelf and close the door.
Turn Timer 2 clockwise to the middle ( ) and then clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired toast shade ( ).
The light will come on and remain on until the toasting cycle is complete.

When the toast cycle is complete, there will be an audible signal. The light will turn off.
Using oven gloves, open the door and slide the shelf outward, just far enough to remove the food.

NOTE: You must set the Timer 1 to a time or to the stay on setting for the oven to function.
Once the oven is preheated, open the door and insert the food. Close the door.
If you have set a time, there will be an audible signal once cooking is complete. The oven will turn off and the light will go out. If you are not using the timer (stay on) you must manually turn the appliance off once cooking is finished to your satisfaction.

AIR FRY

Remember that air frying is different from conventional oven cooking so you may need to adjust the cooking time to achieve the best results.

If you have set a time, there will be an audible signal once cooking is complete. The oven will turn off and the light will go out. If you are not using the timer (stay on) you must manually turn the appliance off once cooking is finished to your satisfaction.
Using oven gloves, open the door and slide the rack outward, just far enough to remove the food.
NOTE: Clean out the crumb tray frequently when using the air fry setting.
