Frequently Asked Questions - TO2091BK Salton

Why does the oven smoke when I first use it?

It is normal for the oven to produce smoke during the first use. This is caused by manufacturing oils burning off. Run the oven empty at 450°F (230°C) for 20 minutes with the function set to Roast. The smoke should disappear within 10–15 minutes.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, you can use aluminum foil to cover approved cooking containers, but do not allow foil to touch the oven sides or heating elements. Never cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with foil, as this can cause overheating or fire.

How do I clean the glass door?

For stubborn stains, open the door and place a few damp paper towels on the inside. Leave for a few minutes, then remove and wipe clean. Avoid using sharp utensils or abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the tempered glass.

Do I need to preheat the oven for all functions?

Preheating is recommended for Roast and Bake functions (10 minutes at desired temperature). For Toast and Broil/Grill, preheating is not necessary.

Can I use my own baking pans in this oven?

Yes, as long as the pans are oven-safe, do not touch the heating elements, and leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) clearance from the elements. Metal, glass, or ceramic ovenware can be used, but avoid glass lids or plastic/ cardboard containers.

What should I do if the oven stops working?

Check that the plug is fully inserted and the outlet is working. Ensure the timer is set past 0. If the oven still does not operate, contact Salton customer service at 514-685-3660 or visit www.salton.com/customer-care for warranty service.

How do I set the timer correctly?

Turn the Timer Knob clockwise past the desired time, then back to the exact minute. The indicator light will illuminate. The timer counts down and rings when done. Always turn the knob to 'OFF' after use.

Is the oven safe to leave unattended while in use?

No, never leave the oven unattended, especially when broiling or toasting. Always unplug when not in use.

Can I use metal scouring pads to clean the oven?

No, do not use metal scouring pads as pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock. Use a nylon scrubber for accessories and a damp cloth for the interior.

What is the capacity of the oven?

The oven can accommodate a 9-inch pizza, 4 slices of toast, a small chicken, or a 2-quart casserole dish. The exact capacity depends on the size of the cookware and rack position.
