OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter- top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door. The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break; however, it breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to avoid scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or nick, call our toll-free customer service number. Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.

19. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper,

cardboard, plastic, and the like.

20. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil.

This will cause overheating of the oven.

22. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered

safety glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.

23. Always use appliance with crumb tray securely in place.

24. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

25. Clean oven interior carefully. Do not scratch or damage heating

CHOOSE MODE TO START

Press TOAST button. The LED display will read “CNTR RACK”—this is a prompt to center the rack in the oven for best toasting results. Place food into oven. NOTE: MED is the default toast shade. After first use, the last shade selected will be the default. Once a shade is selected, press ENTER/ START. The oven will beep when cycle is complete, and the LED display will read “DONE” for 30 seconds. The desired shade may be changed at any point during the toasting cycle by pressing the up/down buttons. TIPS:

• To toast frozen pastry or waffles, select a light color and toast directly on oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use baking pan to prevent dripping.

• The number of slices of bread, the bread freshness, and the starting temperature of the oven will affect toast color. Adjust the toast shade to achieve the desired color.

• When toasting, condensation may form on oven door. A toaster is open and allows moisture to escape. A toaster oven is a closed space and so moisture is slow to escape. This is normal.

• At the end of the toast cycle, remove toast immediately or the heat remain- ing in the toaster oven will continue to cook and dry out your toast. Fire Hazard.

Baking Pan Oven Rack Broil Rack 840180402 ENv02.qxd:Layout 1 3/11/11 2:56 PM Page 1314 Troubleshooting PROBLEM Oven will not heat. Moisture forms on inside of oven door when toasting. An odor and smoke come from oven. Oven will not toast. Some foods burn and some are not done. Display shows error code “ERR.” Oven displays “PLUG PROBE” when it is already plugged in. PROBABLE CAUSE

• Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and the oven is plugged in.

• This is normal when toasting in a toaster oven. Moisture is slower to escape from a toaster oven than from a toaster. The amount of moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastries.

• Smoke and odor are normal during first use of most heating appliances. These will not be present after initial heating period.

• Check to make sure outlet is working and oven is plugged in.

• Adjust oven rack position to center food in oven.

• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.

• Temperature sensor inside cavity may be defective. Call the customer service number located on the front of this Use and Care Guide.

• Unplug and then replug the probe back into unit. If this still does not work, the probe may be defective. Call the customer service number located on the front cover of this Use and Care Guide. 840180402 ENv02.qxd:Layout 1 3/11/11 2:56 PM Page 1415 Notes 840180402 ENv02.qxd:Layout 1 3/11/11 2:56 PM Page 1516 This warranty applies to products purchased in the U.S. and Canada.
