Do not attempt to service this product. · A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care. However, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the Toaster Oven. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet. -E3- ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS · Leave 6 ­ 8 inches of open surface all around the exterior of the Toaster Oven. · Place the Toaster Oven on a dry, level heat resistant surface. · The Toaster Oven should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances. If the circuit is overloaded, this appliance may not operate correctly. · Do not use airtight containers inside the oven. Containers must have room to allow for expansion of liquids. · Do not touch hot surfaces such as the GLASS DOOR, top and sides. · Watch the toasting process carefully when toasting items such as stale toast, croutons and crackers. Select a light setting for these types of foods. · Do not use any sharp utensils to clean the GLASS DOOR as this may cause damage to the glass or breakage. Clean only with a soapy damp cloth.

NOTE: Initial start up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 min). This is normal. It is due to the protective substances on the heating elements, which protect them from salt effects during shipment from the factory. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOASTING Your new Toaster Oven has a large capacity for toasting up to 6 slices of bread, 6 muffin halves, 6 frozen waffles, or 6 frozen pancakes. When toasting only 1 or 2 items, place food in the center of oven. 1. Set TEMPERATURE CONTROL to TOAST/BROIL. 2. Turn FUNCTION CONTROL to TOAST. 3. Ensure CRUMB TRAY is in place. 4. Place food to be toasted on Wire Oven Rack 5. Turn TIMER CONTOL to desired darkness. 6. Bell will signal end of TOAST cycle. NOTE: For the best toasting result, WIRE OVEN RACK should be positioned in the bottom RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, face up. IMPORTANT: When choosing toast color (light, medium or dark) always rotate the timer over 5 minutes and then rotate back to dark, medium or light. This will ensure that the timer operates correctly and safely. · When the toast cycle is finished the bell will ring and the electrical power is automatically turned off. · To stop the cycle at any time, turn the timer control clockwise to the OFF position and the bell will ring. · Six (6) slices will be lighter than one (1) slice, adjust TIMER CONTROL accordingly. · If toasting only one slice, place bread in the center of the WIRE OVEN RACK, 6 slices should be toasted side by side. In this cycle, both the top and bottom heating elements operate. -E6- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAKING NOTE: When using a single rack, position the WIRE OVEN RACK in the lowest RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, facing up. 1. Place WIRE OVEN RACK in bottom or top RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, depending on the height of pan or according to recipe directions. 2. Preheat oven as directed in recipe. 3. Ensure CRUMB TRAY is in place. 4.

However, it is necessary to rotate them (i.e. move the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top) halfway through cooking time. Positioning of Bake Racks Cookies - Use bottom and top RACK SUPPORT GUIDES with racks face down. Layer Cakes - Use bottom and top RACK SUPPORT GUIDES. Rack should be face down in bottom position and face up in top position. Pies - Use bottom and top RACK SUPPORT GUIDES with both racks face down. Place a COOKIE SHEET under pies to catch any spills or drips. Follow package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperatures. -E7- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROILING / TOP BROWN For best results, preheat oven for 5 minutes on MAX before BROILING/TOP BROWNING. Trim excess fat from meats and dry any moisture that may be on food. Set TEMPERATURE CONTROL to TOAST/BROIL. Turn FUNCTION CONTROL to BROIL. Preheat oven. Place BROIL RACK onto DRIP PAN. Place food on BROIL RACK then place the BROIL RACK on the WIRE OVEN RACK and slide into RACK SUPPORT GUIDE, face up or face down depending on the thickness of food you are cooking. 6. Food should be placed as close as possible to top heating element without touching it. 7. Brush food with sauces or oil, if desired. 8. Set TIMER CONTROL to desired time or turn to STAY ON. 9. Turn food over midway through prescribed cooking time. 10. Turn TIMER CONTROL to OFF when broiling is complete. In this cycle, only the upper heating element operates. NOTE: Always monitor the food at this setting to ensure that you are not over cooking. We suggest using the timer as food can burn quickly at this setting. When broiling, turn the food over for even cooking. Food should not be placed directly on the WIRE OVEN RACK. For top browning simply broil as long as desired. Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the heating elements. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
