Functions

Air Fry
This mode is ideal for browning and crisping the exterior of foods. The air fry mode can produce a taste and texture similar to deep frying without the need to submerge the
food in oil.
Bake
This mode is ideal for cooking foods that generally lack structure before the cooking process, such as cakes, Food will be cooked thoroughly and evenly, which also makes this mode suitable for packaged frozen meals.
Toast
This mode is ideal for browning slices of bread, bagels, the food.
Broil
This mode is ideal for quickly searing meats (e.g. steaks or the top surface of foods (e.g. casseroles).
Roast
This mode is ideal for cooking foods that are generally solid before the cooking process, including a wide variety of meats and vegetables. Foods will be tender and moist on
the inside while developing a crispy texture on the exterior.
Proof
This mode is ideal for preparing yeast bread and other baked goods where the dough is allowed to rest and rise before baking. The low-temperature heat will facilitate fermentation.
Keep Warm
This mode is useful for keeping freshly cooked meals warm while waiting for guests or preparing the rest of the meal.
Convection Roast
This mode is similar to the ROAST mode but activates the convection fan to circulate hot air around the food. This causes the food to cook faster than in normal ROAST mode, but the oven temperature may need to be reduced for some recipes.

Using the Toaster Oven

Selecting the Cooking Mode
To choose the cooking mode, rotate the “Mode” knob until the ► symbol is next to the desired cooking mode.
Adjusting the Oven Settings
The settings for each cooking mode can be adjusted by using the Temp/Time knob. The knob can be rotated clockwise to increase the selling value, or it can be rotated counterclockwise to decrease the selling value.
The Temp/Time knob also functions as a button. Pushing the button will toggle between the settings being adjusted (Slices/Shade or Temperature/Time).
For TOAST mode, use this knob to adjust the number of slices of bread being toasted and the desired shade. For all other cook modes, use this knob to adjust the desired oven temperature and cooking time.
Starting the Cooking Cycle

Preheating the Oven
For BAKE, ROAST, BROIL, and CONVECTION: Upon starting the cooking cycle, the “Preheating” notification will begin to flash on the LCD screen and the cook timer will begin to count down immediately. When the oven has heated to the set temperature, the oven will emit an audible beep and the “Preheating” icon will disappear from the screen.
NOTE: The cooking time may need to be adjusted to account for the preheating time. See the next section, “Adjusting Settings While Cooking”.
For AIR FRY, TOAST, WARM, and PROOF: These cooking modes do not require preheating. Immediately upon starting the cooking cycle, the cook timer will begin to count down.
Adjusting Settings While Cooking
At any time during the cooking cycle, the temperature, time, shade, and/or slices may be adjusted. Push the “Temp/Time” knob and then rotate it to adjust the oven temperature. Push the knob again to toggle between adjusting the temperature and cooking time. Once the settings are as desired, no further action is required, The adjustment mode will timeout and the new settings will be confirmed.
NOTE: The cooking mode cannot be changed while the oven is in operation. Press the “Start/Stop” button to end the current cooking cycle and then select the desired cook mode.

NOTE: For some cooking modes, the internal fan will continue to operate for 2 minutes after the cooking cycle has been completed. This is to ensure that the internal components of the oven are properly cooled. The word “COOL” will be displayed on the LCD screen until the fan automatically shuts off.
Even though you may hear the fan running during this time, the unit will return to standby mode and the heating elements will be turned off until the next cooking cycle is started.

Recommended Oven Rack Positions by Cooking Mode

Air Fry Cooking Guidelines
Air Fry is a special, no-preheat cooking mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. This cooking mode doesn’t require oil but spraying a light coating on food prior to cooking can enhance exterior crispiness and browning.
It is generally recommended to use the provided air fry basket in the middle rack position for air frying. Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven. If foods are browning or drying out too quickly, try using the lower rack position or setting a lower oven temperature.
To avoid the need to stir or flip food during cooking, arrange the food in a single layer in the basket. Overcrowding the basket may negatively impact food texture and prolong cook times.
