3. When food is ready, turn oven OFF manually and remove pan.
HINTS AND TIPS
• During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and a slight odor.
This is normal and should disappear after about 15 minutes.
• Smoke may also appear during broiling or baking. When broiling, always trim
excess fat before placing food in oven. If oven smokes during baking, this usually
means the oven interior or pan requires cleaning. (See CARE AND CLEANING.)
• Cooking toaster foods and some other items may produce condensation on the
oven door. This is normal and will quickly disappear.
• Frozen foods and thick meats will take longer to cook.
• When defrosting, always arrange food in a SINGLE LAYER on multi-purpose pan.
• To prevent heat loss, avoid opening oven door unless absolutely necessary.
• For best results when toasting frozen bread or multiple slices, use a darker setting
and allow a longer toasting time.
• Except when toasting, NEVER place items directly on rack. ALWAYS use the
multi-purpose pan.
• Remove all plastic and paper wrappings from food before cooking.
• Always leave space between top of food being cooked and upper heating element.
• If the power cord begins to heat and smoke, stop using and unplug appliance
immediately.

AT-A-GLANCE REFERENCE GUIDE
Toasting tip: Initially, toast a slice or two at the Medium setting, as results will vary
according to humidity, thickness and texture. Allow some additional toasting time for
larger quantities and thicker breads, toaster pastries and any foods containing fillings.
ATTENTION: Bread may burn. Therefore toaster must not be used near or below
curtains and other combustible materials. They must be watched.
FOR TOP-BROWNING:
1. Place food in oven in multi-purpose pan. Do not place food directly on wire rack.
2. Set temperature control dial to BROIL and timer at 1-15 minutes or continuous ON
setting. Only the top heating element will operate.
3. Do not leave toaster oven unattended. Monitor food while it is browning, as browning
times will vary according to item and user preference.
4. When browning is completed, switch unit OFF and remove food from oven.
FOR BAKING:
1. Set control dial at temperature specified in recipe or package directions. Set
timer at 5 minutes for preheating, and while oven preheats, place food on multi-
purpose pan.
2. When timer bell rings, place pan atop wire oven rack, close door, and reset timer to
desired baking time. Both heating elements will operate.
3. If baking time specified in recipe or on package is 15 minutes or less, set timer. Bell
will ring and oven will shut off automatically when baking is complete.
4. For a longer baking time, set timer at continuous On position, and monitor visually
until finished. Turn unit off manually, and remove food from oven.
IMPORTANT: Always check food periodically to ensure that it is baking properly.
FOR BROILING:
1. Place food in multi-purpose pan, and set pan atop wire rack. NEVER place food
directly on wire rack.
2. Close oven door, set temperature control to BROIL and switch oven ON. It is not
necessary to preheat. In this setting, only the upper heating element will operate.
3. For broiling time of 15 minutes or less, set the timer. Bell will ring and oven will shut
off automatically when broiling is complete.
4. Although 15 minutes of broiling should be sufficient for most items, if anything does
require more time, set timer to continuous On position and monitor item visually.
5. For even broiling, turn food over when it is about half-cooked.
6. When broiling has finished, switch oven OFF and remove food.
IMPORTANT: To avoid overcooking, always monitor food carefully when broiling.
FOR DEFROSTING:
1. Place item in the multi-purpose pan with all plastic and paper wrappings removed.
Without preheating oven, set pan on wire rack, and close the door.
2. Rotate temperature control to 65°C (150°F) and turn oven ON. Set timer if desired.
3. Allow food to thaw. (Thawing time will vary according to type and amount of food.)
4. When thawed, cook item according to recipe or package directions.
IMPORTANT: To avoid contamination, always cook food thoroughly or refrigerate it
immediately after thawing.
FOR SLOW COOKING:
1. Place food in the multi-purpose pan, set it on wire oven rack, and close oven door.
2. Select a temperature between 95°C (205°F) and 120°C (250°F) and set timer at
continuous ON position.
