Frequently Asked Questions - TSSTTVPZDA OSTER

How do I use the Pizza Drawer function?

Fold out the pizza tray handles, pull the tray out, place the pizza on it, insert back into the drawer, set the Function dial to Pizza, then set the timer (turn past 20 minutes first if less than 20). The oven preheats automatically. Use the handles to remove the pizza tray after cooking.

What is Turbo Convection Heat and how does it work?

Turbo Convection uses a built-in fan to circulate hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly. To use, set the Function dial to Turbo, select temperature and time. Preheat for 5-7 minutes. Cooking times are generally shorter than standard baking.

How do I clean the oven?

Unplug and allow to cool. Wipe exterior and interior with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads. Remove and clean the upper and lower crumb trays. The wire rack can be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.

Why is only one heating element heating up?

The function setting determines which elements operate. For example, Broil uses only the top element, while Warm uses only the bottom element. Check the function dial to ensure you have selected the correct setting for your cooking need.

How do I set the timer for a cook time less than 20 minutes?

Turn the Timer dial clockwise past the 20-minute mark to engage the timer, then turn it back to the desired time (e.g., 10 minutes). This ensures the timer mechanism activates.

What should I do if I notice a burnt smell during first use?

During initial use, a slight smell or smoke is normal. Run the oven at maximum temperature for about 5 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues. If the smell persists, clean the interior and crumb trays as described in the manual.

Can I use metal foil in the oven?

No. Do not cover the oven tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This can cause overheating and risk of fire or damage to the appliance.

What is the 'Stay On' feature?

The Stay On setting allows the oven to run continuously without a timer. Turn the Timer dial counterclockwise to the 'Stay On' position. The oven will stay on until you manually turn the dial to 'Off'. A bell will sound when turned to Off.

How do I position the rack for different cooking methods?

The oven has two rack positions. Use the upper position to prevent bottom burning, and the lower position to prevent top browning. For broiling or grilling, insert the pan into the guide rails below the rack and place food on the rack. For baking, place the pan on top of the rack.

How do I broil food in this oven?

Place food on the broil rack (or baking pan if needed). Close the door leaving about a 3-inch opening at the top. Set Function to Broil, temperature as desired (e.g., 150°F for melting cheese, 400°F for fish), and set timer. Monitor closely and remove when done.
