IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR TOASTER OVEN

This toaster oven gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or pot holders when touching any outer or inner surface of the toaster oven.
During first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is normal and should cause no concern.
Temperatures in the toaster oven will be lower than your set point. This is due to advanced heating elements used in this toaster oven. Temperature dial settings have been calibrated to provide expected results for most recipes taking into account the advanced heating elements.
You must set the timer or select Stay On for the toaster oven to function.
Be sure food or baking dish does not come within 1½ inches of the top heating elements.
Food should not extend beyond the edges of the bake pan/drip tray to avoid drippings from falling onto the heating elements.
You can cook your food 3 ways:
- Use the bake pan/drip tray placed on the slide rack.
- Place the bake pan/drip tray under the slide rack / grilling rack .
- Place food on Air Fry mesh rack with bake pan/drip tray underneath

When the toast cycle is complete, there will be an audible signal. The oven and the power indicator light will turn off.
Open the toaster oven door. Using oven mitts, slide the wire rack outward, just far enough to remove the toast.
Unplug appliance when not in use.
NOTE : The toast shade knob must be set as desired for the toaster oven to begin toasting.

TIPS:

For best results and recommendation on which food to cook using the Air Fry mode, check the Air Frying guide provided with this product
For best results, place food in a single layer and leave space between pieces
When cooking high fat content food, we recommend using an oven-proof dish (refer to p8 for a complete list of cooking containers suitable for this toaster oven) to prevent the oil dripping. This will facilitate the cleaning process. Discard excess oil in between batches. Alternatively, place foil at the bottom of the mesh rack to capture excess oil
We recommend using the mesh rack for fries or frozen meals. For larger items, you can place it directly onto the rack (or oven-proof dish) and placing foil on the drip tray
If you notice excess browning using the Air Fry mode, switch to Bake mode and choose a lower temperature to allow the food to cook through. Air Fry mode can be selected again to crisp up the outside. Not all food are designed to be cooked using only the Air Fry mode as it would result in overcooking the outside and not fully cooked on the inside

BAKE
For best results, when baking or cooking, always preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes at the desired temperature setting. For optimal results use middle or lower rack position.

Set temperature selector knob to the desired temperature.
Turn TIMER 1 selector control to 20 and then turn to desired baking time. Select Stay On to bake longer than 60 minutes or to control cooking time yourself. The power indicator light comes on and remains on during the entire baking time.
NOTE : You must set the times for the oven to FUNCTION.
Once toaster oven has preheated, open oven door and insert food. Close toaster oven door.
If using the toaster oven timer, there will be an audible signal once the baking cycle is complete. The oven turns off and the power indicator light does out. If not using the toaster oven timer, turn the oven off once the cooking cycle is complete.
Open the toaster oven door. Using oven mitts or pot holders, slide the rack out to remove the cooked food.
Unplug appliance when not in use.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT : Before cleaning any part, be sure the toaster oven is off, unplugged, and cool. It is important that you clean the entire appliance after each use to prevent accumulation of grease and to avoid unpleasant odours.

IMPORTANT : Do not immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in any liquid.

Clean the glass door with a damp cloth or sponge dipped in warm to hot soapy water. Do not use a spray glass cleaner. Wipe clean with a soap free damp cloth to remove residual suds and streaks from the glass.
Wash the wire rack in warm to hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wash the bake pan/drip tray in warm to hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
