Frequently Asked Questions - Easy Reach 31334D HAMILTON BEACH

What to do if the oven does not heat up?

Check that the wall outlet is working and the oven is properly plugged in. Set the temperature selector to 177 °C (350 °F) and turn the timer knob to the ON position (push and hold the side buttons).

Why is there condensation on the door during toasting?

This is normal in a toaster oven. Moisture escapes more slowly than in a traditional toaster. The amount varies depending on the freshness of the bread, bagels, or frozen pastries.

There is an odor and smoke during first use. Is this normal?

Yes, this is normal for most heating appliances. Before first use, heat the empty oven to 230 °C (450 °F) for 10 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues.

How to get even toasting?

Place food in the center of the rack. For 2 slices, place the bread in the center. Adjust the rack position: for bagels, English muffins, and waffles, use the lower position and place the cut side up.

Why do some foods burn while others are not cooked?

Make sure the rack is in the correct position and food is evenly distributed. Avoid overloading the oven. Adjust the timer and temperature according to instructions.

How to clean the interior of the oven?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Wipe the interior walls and door with a cloth dampened with soapy water, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use metallic pads. The door can be removed by pulling it upward after opening; wash it by hand (not in the dishwasher).

Can I use cooking bags in this oven?

No, never use cooking bags in the oven. They can cause a fire.

What to do in case of a fire in the oven?

Do not open the door. Unplug the oven and let the food extinguish and cool before opening the door.

What type of outlet should I use?

The oven is equipped with a polarized plug (one wide blade). Use a suitable polarized outlet. Do not modify the plug or use an adapter. If the plug does not fully insert, reverse it or have an electrician replace the outlet.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty is 5 years in Canada and 1 year in the USA from the date of purchase. It covers defects in materials and workmanship. Keep the receipt as proof of purchase.

• Check to make sure outlet is working and oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to (toast) and rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color.
• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.
• Moisture escaping from oven will be concentrated into streams from the top corners of the door. This gives the appearance of smoke. This is normal for this product.
