OVEN GETTING STARTED

• Read all instructions in this guide carefully.
• Carefully unpack your toaster oven broiler and remove all packaging materials.
• Place your toaster oven broiler on a level surface such as a countertop or table. Be sure the sides, back, and top of the oven are at least four inches away from any walls, cabinets, or objects on the counter or table.
• Remove all stickers from the toaster oven broiler except the rating label located on the back.
• Remove wire rack and bake pan and wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before placing in the toaster oven broiler.
• Remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, simply wipe the toaster oven broiler exterior with a clean, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers.
• Do not put the toaster oven broiler, cord or plug in water.
• When you are ready to use the toaster oven broiler, plug the cord into a120 V~ AC outlet.
• To eliminate any protective substance or oil that may have been used for packing and shipping, set the unit to TOAST and set the timer for it to toast for about 15 minutes. A small amount of smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal.
• To avoid scratching, marring, or discoloration, do not store anything on top of the toaster oven broiler during operation. Caution: Appliance surfaces are hot during and after use. Caution: Always wear protective, insulated oven mitts on hands when touching hot oven or hot dishes and food or when inserting or removing wire rack, baking dish and food. COOKING CONTAINERS

The bake pan included with the toaster oven broiler is suitable for items such as cookies, rolls, biscuits, nachos and pork chops.

Choose bake ware made of metal, or glass/ceramic without lids.

Dark or dull pans absorb heat faster; foods will bake more rapidly and crust will brown more easily than in shiny bake pans.

Check package directions and/or with the ovenware manufacturer to determine if the container is suitable for use in a toaster oven broiler.

Do not use oven roasting bags in this toaster oven broiler, as they may come in contact with the heating elements.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOAST

1. Make sure the drop down crumb tray is firmly in place in the bottom of the toaster oven

2. Plug into 120V~ AC outlet.

3. Open the glass door. Place the wire rack in shelf position #1 and center bread on the wire

rack. Close the glass door.

4. Turn the temperature/function control to TOAST

5. Turn the timer control to 10 then back to the desired light to dark setting. The power light will

come on. Important: To set the timer control for less than 10 minutes, turn to 10 and then turn back to the appropriate amount of time. Caution: As soon as the timer control is engaged, the toaster oven broiler will turn on. Both the top and the bottom heating elements may cycle on and off to maintain temperature for the entire toasting time. Caution: As soon as the timer control is engaged both heating elements will become hot immediately. Use care not to place anything on top of the toaster oven broiler. Do not touch the toaster oven broiler or any part of the toaster oven broiler without wearing oven mitts.

6. With the timer control set, the toaster oven broiler will shut off automatically when the toast

cycle is complete.

Caution: Do not leave toaster oven broiler unattended during toasting.

Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing in toaster oven broiler. Follow toaster food directions.

• Frozen, thick and heavy bread may require a longer time setting (e.g. bagels and English muffins). Important: Use extra caution when using this Toaster Oven broiler for toasting pastry items with runny-type frosting or fillings.
• When toasting more than one slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.

One slice of bread requires a lighter setting than several slices of bread. Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit loafs, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread so they should be toasted for less time.

• Different breads require different toasting times. Turn timer control dial to the off position and open the glass door to check toast color. Close glass door and reset timer control if more toasting time is needed.
• For best results, clean drop down crumb tray frequently.
