OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Your Toaster Oven/Broiler is equipped with all the options of a full-size oven in a countertop appliance; toasts, bakes, and broils.
NOTE: During the initial start, you may detect a slight smell and/or smoke. Turn the temperature to max and let run for approximately 5 minutes.
USING YOUR TOASTER OVEN
Toast
- Place oven rack in Broil/Toast position. Place food on the rack.
- Turn the function knob to Toast.
- Rotate the Toast Color Control/Timer Dial clockwise past 10 minutes then back to the desired toast shade.
Tips
When choosing Toast color light, medium (set between light and dark), and
dark, always rotate the timer over 10 minutes and then rotate back to Dark,
Medium, or Light. This will ensure that the timer operates correctly and
safely. When the toast cycle is finished the bell will ring and the electrical
power is automatically turned off. To stop the cycle at any time, turn the
timer counterclockwise to the “Off” position and the bell will ring. In this
cycle both the top and bottom heating elements operate, however, they may not
glow red hot. Please note this is normal and they are operating properly.
Baking
-
Place the food on the baking pan and then place the pan on top of the Wire Rack in the oven. Close the oven door.
NOTE: We suggest always preheating the oven at this “Baking” setting before placing the food inside. -
Rotate the Temperature Dial to the desired temperature.
-
The Timer Dial is the On/Off Switch.
-
After rotating the Temperature Dial to your desired temperature, then you must select from the following options on the Timer Dial. For items requiring shorter baking times, rotate the Timer Dial clockwise (up to 30 min). At the sound of the bell, the bake function will automatically turn “Off.” During this cycle, both the top and bottom heating elements operate.
NOTE: Always monitor the food at this setting to ensure that you are not overcooking. Do not use oven plastic or paper cooking bags in the toaster oven
Broiling – Top brown
- Place the food on the baking pan and then place the pan on top of the wire rack in the oven. Close the oven door.
- Rotate the Temperature Dial clockwise to the “Broil” position.
- The Timer Dial is the On/Off switch. After rotating the Temperature Dial to the “Broil” position, select the Timer Dial with the following options. For items requiring short broil times, rotate the Timer Dial clockwise (up to 30 minutes). At the sound of the bell, the broil function will automatically turn “Off.”
In this cycle only the upper heating elements operate, however, they may not glow red hot. Please note this is normal and they are operating properly.
NOTE: Always monitor the food at this setting to ensure that you are not overcooking. We suggest using the Timer as food can burn quickly in this setting. When broiling, turn food over for even cooking. Food should not be placed directly on the wire rack. For Top Browning simply broil as long as desired.
NOTE: Do not preheat, Do not allow aluminum foil to touch heating elements. Allow one inch between the heating element and the food.
