Frequently Asked Questions - 31411 HAMILTON BEACH

How to use the Broil function?

Place the rack in the upper position (fast roasting), center (gratin) or lower (long cooking). Slide the baking dish under the rack. Turn the temperature selector to TOAST/BROIL and the dial control to BROIL. Set the timer past 10 then back to desired time, or use STAY ON by holding down the buttons. Flip foods halfway through.

What if the oven does not heat up?

Check that the wall outlet works and the oven is plugged in. Set the temperature selector to 350°F (177°C), turn the dial to BAKE and the timer to STAY ON. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Why is there condensation on the door during toasting?

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

How to clean the interior of the oven?

Unplug the oven and let it cool. Wipe interior walls and door with a cloth soaked in soapy water, then with a clean damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad. Never use a metal scouring pad.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Do not cover the crumb tray or any part with aluminum foil, as this may cause overheating. You can use aluminum foil to wrap foods, but do not wrap them tightly because foil insulates and slows heating.

How many slices can I toast at once?

Up to 6 slices. For even browning with 2 slices, place them in the center with the rack in the lower position.

The oven emits odor and smoke on first use, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal for most heating appliances. Plug in the oven, set to 450°F (230°C) and heat for 10 minutes. The smell should not recur.

What is the warranty period for this model?

In Canada, the warranty is 5 years from the date of purchase. In the United States, it is 1 year. It covers defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase.

Can I use oven cooking bags?

No, it is prohibited to use oven cooking bags in this toaster. Do not use them.

How to reheat leftover meat?

Reheat leftover meats and stews at 350°F (177°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, until fully hot. Use the center or lower rack position depending on the food.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

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.
