IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to Toastess for examination, repair or adjustment. See Warranty.
7. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by Toastess may cause hazards.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to 'OFF', then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Do not leave unit unattended while in use, especially when broiling or toasting.
15. Do not cover broiling rack with metal foil as this prevents fats and juices from dripping into the Broiling Pan and could cause a fire.
16. Use extreme caution when removing the Broiling Pan and disposing of hot grease.
17. Do not insert oversized foods or utensils into the oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
18. Use only containers that are ovenproof such as metal or glass. Do not place paper, cardboard, plastic and the like in the oven.
19. Do not cover the Crumb Tray or any part of the Oven with metal foil; this can cause overheating of the Oven.
20. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.
21. Do not store any materials other than manufacturer recommended accessories in the Oven when not in use.
22. A fire may occur if this Oven is covered by or touches flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, etc when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove all accessories and shipping materials packed inside the Oven.
2. Wash the Rack and Pan in warm soapy water. Wipe the inside of the Oven with a damp cloth or sponge. Blot dry with paper towels to be sure the unit is dry before using. NOTE: Take care not to hit the glass elements.
3. Place Oven on a flat counter or other stable surface close to a 120 volt wall outlet. DO NOT OPERATE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT WITH ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
4. Position the Oven so that it is a least 2 inches (5 cm) from any surrounding object. Ensure that nothing has been placed on top of the Oven.
5. Make sure the Crumb Tray is properly installed before using.

For the first time only, turn the Function/Temperature Control Dial to '450°F', and the On/Off Timer Dial to 15 minutes. This will burn off any manufacturing oils still on the Oven. NOTE: The oven may smoke during this process. This is normal for a new Oven and will not last more than 10 – 15 minutes.

HOW TO USE

1) General Instructions

The accessories provided are designed specifically for the Oven. Some of your own metal or foil trays can also be used provided they are oven safe and they are at least a 1/2" fro the heating elements. Food and/or containers must never touch the Elements or the oven interior or interfere with closing the Door.

• Be careful not to bang the elements.
• Never use glass or ceramic pans or lids.
• Never use plastic or cardboard containers in the Oven.
• Remove all cardboard covers from aluminum containers.
• If necessary, cover ovenware with aluminum foil tucked tightly around the edges.
• Do not allow foil to touch Oven sides or Heating Elements.
• Never cover the Broiling Grid/Rack or Crumb Tray with aluminum foil as this could cause accumulated grease or crumbs to ignite.
• Always use oven mitts when removing hot racks or pans.
• Always turn the On/Off Knob to the 'Off' position when cooking is complete.

2) Indicator Light

The Indicator Light will cycle on and off when the Oven is in Bake Mode as it maintains the preset temperature. If the timer is used the Indicator Light will go out once the requested time has expired.

3) Rack Levels

There are 2 rack levels. The baking pan or rack can be slid into the groove for either level. (See Ill. 1).

TOASTING

How to Toast

Slide the Wire Rack into the top position. Arrange bread slices on the Wire Rack. If only toasting 1 or 2 items, place them in the center of the Rack.

• Set the Function/Temperature Control Dial to TOAST.
• Turn the On/Off Timer Dial to desired browness setting, 'Light', 'Medium' or 'Dark'. When the toast is done, the signal bell rings and the Oven shuts off automatically. To remove the toast, pull out the Rack with oven mitts.

Helpful Hints

1. When making a second batch of toast you may need to turn the timer to a lighter setting than on the first batch to achieve the same results.
2. To stop the Toast cycle before completion, turn the On/Off Timer Dial counterclockwise to the 'Off' position.
3. A variety of breads and thicknesses can be used; whole wheat, rye, white and muffins, bagels or roll halves. Thicker, fresher bread will require a darker setting.

BROILING

How to Broil

Slide the Baking Pan into the top, or the bottom rack level if food is thick and more room is required. Place food on the rack and slide in above the pan. The food must be centered over the pan so that any drippings from the food fall directly into the pan.

• Set the Function/Temperature Control Dial to 'BROIL'.
• Set the Timer Dial for the required amount of time.

Trim excess fat from meat to reduce splatter and dry wet foods with a paper towel. Always use the Baking/Broiling Pan under the Rack.

The broiled food should be watched carefully to avoid overcooking or burning. Turn food over about halfway through the cooking cycle. Use oven mitts to pull out the Rack. When removing the Baking/Broiling Pan, be careful to avoid spilling hot grease.

IMPORTANT: Always use the Rack and the Baking/Broiling Pan provided with this Oven when Broiling. Use of other cooking utensils might cause a hazard.

NOTE: The Broil Function does not shut off automatically if the oven is set on 'Oven On'. When the cooking time is complete turn the On/Off Timer Dial to the 'Off' position.

BAKING

How to Bake

Slide the Baking/Broiling Pan into the bottom rack level.

Set the Function/Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature. Turn the On/Off Timer dial to Oven On. The indicator light will come on and remain on until the preset temperature is reached. The set temperature is reached when the Indicator Light goes off. The light will cycle on and off as the oven maintains the preset temperature.

IMPORTANT: As the Oven does not shut off automatically when Oven On is used, turn On/Off Timer Dial to 'Off' when finished.

CARE AND CLEANING

Turn the 'On/Off Timer Dial to 'Off', unplug cord from wall outlet and let the oven cool.

• Wash the Crumb Tray, Baking/Broiling Pan and the Wire Rack in warm soapy water. If necessary use a nylon scrubber to remove stuck on food.
• Wipe the inside of the Oven with a cloth or sponge dampened in warm soapy water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES. Blot dry with paper towels to be sure the unit is dry before using.
• Clean the glass door with a damp soapy cloth. NOTE: If the glass door has stubborn stains, open the door and cover the inside of the door with a few damp paper towels. Leave for a few minutes then remove paper towels and wipe door clean. Never use sharp utensils to clean Oven Glass Door as scratching may weaken it and cause it to shatter.
• T he outside of the oven can be cleaned with a damp sponge or cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or pads as these will scratch the surface.
• N O TE: The best way to keep your oven clean and operating safely is to let the Oven cool to room temperature and wipe away any spills and crumbs after each use.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be of a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
