Frequently Asked Questions - TSSTTVVGS1 OSTER

How do I preheat the Oster TSSTTVVGS1 oven?

Turn the function dial to the desired cooking mode (e.g., Bake, Convection). Then turn the temperature dial to the desired temperature. The oven will begin preheating; the indicator light will turn off once preheated.

Can I use aluminum foil in this oven?

Do not line the oven bottom or walls with foil as it may cause overheating. You may place a small sheet of foil on the baking pan or over food to prevent splattering, but keep it away from the heating elements.

What is the maximum baking time?

The timer can be set up to 120 minutes. For longer cooking, use the Stay-On position (if available) or reset the timer.

How do I clean the crumb tray?

The crumb tray is located at the bottom of the oven. Remove it and wash with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. Ensure it is dry before reinserting.

Why does the oven turn off during cooking?

The oven has an automatic shut-off feature that activates if the timer runs out or if the oven overheats. Check that the timer is set correctly and ensure vents are not blocked.

Can I bake a 12-inch pizza in this oven?

Yes, the oven's interior is designed to fit a 12-inch pizza. Use the baking pan or place the pizza directly on the rack for a crisper crust.

How do I use the convection feature?

Select the Convection setting on the function dial. A fan circulates hot air for even cooking. Reduce cooking temperature by 25°F and check food earlier than usual.

What should I do if the oven won't turn on?

Ensure the oven is plugged into a working outlet. Check that the timer is set (not at 0) and the function dial is not set to Off. If it still doesn't work, contact Oster support.

Can I broil with the door closed?

For broiling, the door should be slightly ajar (usually at the broil stop position). Refer to the manual for your specific model's recommendation.

How do I replace the interior light bulb?

The interior light bulb is not user-replaceable. If the light fails, contact Oster customer service for assistance or authorized repair.

If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
