OVEN RACK POSITION GUIDE
All of our recipes give you step-by-step directions and will tell you where the oven rack should be positioned for best results.
Please refer to the diagram for oven rack positions. Each position is referred to in the recipe.

WARNING: Placing the rack in the Lower rack position while toasting may result in a fire. Toast only in the Upper rack position.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Place your oven on a flat surface. Remove any packaging and promotional labels in or on the oven. Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and check that there is nothing inside or on top of the oven. Plug power cord into wall outlet.
Before using your oven, make sure it is two to four inches away from the wall or from any objects on the countertop. Do not use on heat-sensitive surfaces. DO NOT STORE OBJECTS ON THE TOP OF THE OVEN.
IF YOU DO, REMOVE ALL OBJECTS BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR OVEN. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• Toast/Bagel: Always have the rack in Upper rack position, as indicated in the diagram at left, for even toasting. Always center your item/items in the middle of the rack.

• Bake: Baking function can be used as you would normally use your large kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or baking cakes, cookies and more.

• Broil: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more.
  It also can be used to brown the tops of casseroles and gratins.
  Caution:
  Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the drip pan. Foil is extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch fire. If foil is used to cover drip pan, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods.
  Never cover the crumb tray.

• Convection: You may turn on the convection fan by pressing the Conv button with Bake or Broil. A fan circulates the heat so food will cook faster and more evenly. This is best used for breads, cakes or other baked goods.

• Reheat: Perfect setting for reheating food that has already been cooked.

• Keep Warm: Maintains the oven at a low temperature using only the bottom heating elements to keep foods warm without drying out.

• Turning off the toaster oven broiler: Any cooking cycle can be stopped by pressing the Start/Stop button at any time. This will stop the heating cycle.
  Dormant Mode: The oven will go dormant when cooking cycle is completed. When dormant, the oven has power but is not lit up. Opening the door, pushing any button or turning the Selector dial will activate the dormant oven.
  Deactivating Oven Sounds: You have the option of turning off the electronic beeping sounds. To deactivate all beeps, push the Shade and
  Defrost buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. To reinstate all beeps, repeat by pushing both the Timer and Shade buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
  If you unplug the oven, all beeps will turn back on.

OPERATION

TOAST
To toast, make sure the oven rack is in Upper rack position, as indicated in the diagram on page 5. If toasting two items, center them in the middle of the rack. Four items should be evenly spaced with two in front, two in back.
Close the door. Turn Selector dial to Toast. The Shade and Start/Stop buttons will begin to flash.

• Shade Selection
  Press Shade button and then turn dial to desired shade setting as indicated by the 7 dots in the LCD digital display from Light (1 dot) to Dark (7 dots).

  Press Start/Stop button to begin toasting. During toasting you may change your shade selection simply by pressing the Shade button and turning the dial to adjust the shade setting. The new setting will automatically hold since the oven has already been started. You should not press Start/Stop again, as that would cancel the Toast cycle.

• Stop Toasting
  When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep and turn off.
  If you wish to stop the toasting cycle before it is finished, simply press the Start/Stop button, as that will cancel the Toast cycle.

BAGEL
For best bagel results, place your bagels on the oven rack with the cut side facing up. Make sure the oven rack is in the Upper rack position, as indicated in the diagram on page 5. If toasting two bagel halves, center them in the middle of the rack. Four bagel halves should be evenly spaced with two in front, two in back. To begin toasting your bagel, close the door and turn Selector dial to Bagel. The Shade and Start/Stop buttons will begin to flash.

• Shade Selection
  Press Shade button and then turn dial to desired shade setting as indicated by the 7 dots in the LCD digital display from Light (1 dot) to Dark (7 dots).

  Press Start/Stop button to begin toasting your bagel. During bagel toasting you may change your shade selection simply by pressing the Shade button and turning the dial to adjust the shade setting. The new setting will automatically hold since the oven has already been started. You should not press Start/Stop again, as that would cancel the Bagel cycle.

• Stop Bagel Toasting
  When the toasting cycle is finished, the oven will beep and turn off.
  If you wish to stop the Bagel cycle before it is finished, simply press the Start/Stop button to cancel the bagel cycle.

Important notes on Toast and Bagel functions

Toasting is a combination of drying and cooking the bread. Therefore, differences in denseness and moisture level from one bread to another can result in varying toasting times.
For slightly dry bread or thinly sliced bread, use a lighter setting than you normally would, as it will toast more quickly.

For very fresh bread, thickly sliced bread or whole wheat bread, use a darker setting than normal. Dense, moist bread may also require a darker setting.
Breads with very uneven surfaces (such as English muffins) will require a darker toast setting.
Thickly cut pieces of bread will take longer, since more moisture must be evaporated from the bread before toasting occurs. Very thick pieces may require two cycles.
When toasting raisin or other fruit breads and muffins, remove any loose fruit, etc. from the surface of the bread before placing into the oven. This will help prevent pieces from falling and baking onto the crumb tray.
To prevent overtoasting of a single slice, set browning control to a lighter setting than you normally would.

The Bagel feature adds the appropriate amount of extra time to the toasting cycle to toast your bagels at the color level selected with the touchpad shade control. The Bagel function is designed for the standard bagel size (3 ounces).
For deli-size bagels (3–6 ounces) you may need to increase the darkness setting. The Bagel function can also be used to toast English muffins, thicksliced breads, and thick-sliced specialty Italian or Portuguese breads, which require longer toasting times than an average slice of white bread.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

1. Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet.

2. Do not use abrasive cleansers, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the toaster oven, before cleaning.

3. To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a spray solution on a sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could damage the oven surface. Never use Brillo pads, etc. on interior of oven.

4. To remove crumbs, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs.
   Wipe clean and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot sudsy water with nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.

5. Wire rack, baking pan and crumb tray should be hand-washed in hot sudsy water or use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush.

6. Never wrap the cord around the outside of the oven. Use the cord storage cleats on the back of the oven.

7. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
   IMPORTANT: After cooking greasy foods and after your oven has cooled, always clean top interior of oven. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new and help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle.
