1 1
CONVECTION COOKING
Convection cooking circulates heated air throughout the Toaster Oven cavity to maintain uniform
temperature around the food. This constant, gentle airflow promotes browning and seals in juices
when cooking meats. Due to the efficiency of using a convection fan, cooking time may be shortened.
• As a general rule, baked goods require a lower temperature when using a convection fan than
cooking in a convectional oven. Lower the temperature by 25°F to a minimum of 300°F when
baking cakes, pies, cookies, and bread.
• Follow package instructions for time and temperature when cooking convenience foods.
• Check food about 3/4 way through cooking cycle and adjust time or temperature if necessary.
• CONVECTION cooking is the default setting for BAKE, PIZZA, and COOKIES functions.
Turn the fan OFF at any time by pressing the CONVECTION/TURBO button 2x.
• CONVECTION cooking is available for all functions except TOAST, BAGEL, DEHYDRATE,
REHEAT and AIR FRY.
• Use the air fryer/dehydrator basket, oven-proof baking dishes, roasting pans, pizza pans or cookie
sheets with very low sides, and place on the center of the wire rack to allow maximum airflow.
• Do not cover foods with metal foil or any other type of lid for maximum airflow.
TURBO BOOST
• Press the CONVECTION/TURBO button once to turn TURBO Boost ON. “TURBO” and a twirling
fan appears on the digital display indicating the TURBO Boost is ON”.
• TURBO Boost maximizes convection airflow, shortens cook time and increases cooking efficiency
and is available when using any function except TOAST or BAGEL.
• TURBO Boost is the default setting for AIR FRY and DEHYDRATE functions. Turn the fan OFF
at any time by pressing the CONVECTION/TURBO button.
WEIGHT/SIZE RESTRICTIONS
WARNING:
• The Toaster Oven can cook up to a 5 lb. chicken or turkey and up to a 5 lb. roast.

and chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°
F and ground beef, veal, lamb
and pork be cooked to an internal temperature of 160° F. Chicken
and turkey should be cooked
to an internal temperature of 170° F for white meat and 180° F
for dark meat. Goose and duck should be cooked to an internal
temperature of 180° F. Fresh beef, veal and lamb, etc. should be
cooked
to an internal temperature of at least 145° F. Fresh pork should
be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160° F. When

• A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should always be used to ensure desired
doneness.
• Cook to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). Allow meat to stand
15 to 20 minutes before serving. The temperature will continue to rise while standing.
• CONVECTION ROAST large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds
to the flavor and the aroma during cooking.
• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides
natural basting.
• To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil, margarine
or melted butter.
• When roasting meats with a high fat content, the bake/broil pan may fill with grease before
cooking is completed. Carefully remove the bake/broil pan assembly using oven mitts and empty.
Replace for continued roasting.
• Place meat (fat side up) or food to be cooked into a bake pan. If desired, turn over half-way
through BAKE/ROAST time.

HINTS FOR AIR FRY
1. Use AIR FRY function to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of the
time!
2. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook time and temperature.
3. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
4. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages,
it may be necessary to empty fat from the bake/broil pan between batches.
5. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by
cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded
foods for at least 30 minutes. Spray with oil before air frying.
6. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil works best as oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed.
7. Arrange breaded food in the air fryer/dehydrator basket so that food is not touching to allow air
flow on all surfaces.

1 9
8. Do not overfill air fryer/dehydrator basket with food. NEVER fill air fryer/dehydrator basket more
than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of
food to the air fryer/dehydrator basket.
9. A Note About Air Frying Frozen Foods: For best results, follow oven or toaster oven package
directions. Set Air Fryer for suggested TEMPERATURE. Cut the TIME in half. Turn and rotate food
halfway through air frying. Check food and continue cooking for 5 minute intervals until food is
done to your liking.
