COOKING PROGRAMMES
The pilot lamp lights when the appliance is plugged into the mains. It does not mean that the oven
has reached the selected temperature.
1) HOW TO KEEP FOOD WARM
Place the food to be kept warm on the wire rack (in position 1). Turn the upper knob to “ON”. Turn
thelowerknobto“KEEPWARM”.Thisfeatureisdesignedtokeepfoodswarm,aftertheyarecooked
for short periods of time without overcooking. We do not recommend keeping foods warm for
prolonged periods or using this feature to reheat frozen or cold foods.
2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAKING
Youcan bake foods in youroven, justas inyour regular oven. Casseroles orbaking dishesmay be
placed directly on the removable wire rack. Use the convenient bake/broil tray provided with your
oven for baking such items as cookies, biscuits, rolls and uncovered casserole dishes. Place the
bake/broil tray directly on the removable wire rack (position 2).

never be closer than one inch from the heating element.
HELPFUL BAKING HINTS
To obtain best performance from this toaster-oven-broiler:
• Do not overfill the oven. Whenever possible, place foods in center of oven.
• Avoid opening the door too frequently to prevent heat loss.
• Foil may be used to cover the baking dish or pan. Be sure the ends of foil are tucked closely
against the edge of the baking dish/pan.

TOP BROWNING
Top Browning is ideal for melting, crisping and toasting food surfaces. Use it for open face
sandwiches, pre-buttered muffins or browning cooked casseroles.
1. Place the food on the oven pan and place on the wire rack (position 2).
2. Close the door, set the lower knob to “BROIL”and the upper knob to “MEDIUM”.
3. When experimenting with new uses, watch the food to avoid overbrowning. If necessary the
browning cycle can be shortened by turning the upper knob to a lighter setting.
4. Aringindicatestheendofthesettime.Thetopbrowningcyclehasbeencompleted.Theheating
elements will shut off automatically.
3) INSTRUCTIONS FOR BROILING
Always use the bake/broil tray assembly with the removable wire oven rack for broiling. No
preheating of the broiler is necessary.
Do not leave the broiler unattended when in use. Before using the broiler for the first time and after
use, wash the tray and the rack with warm, sudsy water. Do not cover the bake/broil tray assembly
ortheovenwirerackwithfoil.Thispreventsfatandoilsfromdraining,causingspatterandsmoking,
and also restricts air circulation for proper ventilation.
BROILING
1. Place the wire oven rack in the upper shelf position (position 3 or 4).
2. Position the aluminium drip pan directly on the lower heating element.
3. Place the food to be broiled on the wire rack.
4. Leave the oven door half open.
5. Turn the lower knob to “BROIL”.
6. Turn the upper knob to “ON”.
7. When broiling is finished, turn the upper knob to “OFF” and the lower knob to position "●". Care
should be taken when removing the broiler pan and disposing of the grease collected while
broiling.
NOTE: While smoke is an inherent characteristic of good broiling, the following tips should
eliminate or greatly reduce smoking.
• Trim excess fat from meat and score the edges to prevent curling.
• Forbestresults,thawfrozenmeatsbeforebroiling.Thesetwoprecautionswillreduceoreliminate
smoke from the broiler.
• Placingthefoodontherackinthetrayallowsthejuicesandfattodripintothetrayanddecreases
spattering while broiling.
• If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 11/2to 2 times the required broiling time as that
required for unfrozen meat.
• If grease “pops” during broiling, turn the temperature control dial to a lower setting.
• Remove grease from the tray and wash the tray and rack after use.
• The broiler should be cleaned inside after each use. Too much grease accumulation causes
smoking. Use any non-abrasive cleaner and hot water.
• For very thick steaks and other thick foods, we recommend using the lower shelf position.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOASTING
Always use the oven wire rack for toasting bread, sandwiches, English muffins, shelf foods and
frozen waffles automatically.
1. Place the wire rack in upper shelf position (position 5 for toast, or position 6 for toasted
sandwiches).
2. Center the food to be toasted on the wire rack. Close the door.
3. Turnthelowerknobto“TOAST”.Whentoasting,boththetopandbottomheatingelementsswitch
on to brown both sides of the food at the same time.
Condensationmaybuilduponthe insideoftheglassdoor.Thisisnormal.Thecondensationwill
evaporate during the toasting cycle.
4. Set the upper knob to the desired brownness.
When using the toaster-oven-broiler for the first time, set the upper knob to a medium setting.
Toast a few pieces of bread to check for desired brownness. If necessary, adjust the control to
suit your preference.
5. Aring indicates the end of the set time.The toasting cycle has been completed and theheating
elements will shut off automatically.
NOTE: This toaster-oven-broiler is capable of toasting in a wide range of colours, automatically
from light to dark. However, if you prefer a lighter shade of toast, simply interrupt the
automatic toast cycle by turning the upper knob to “OFF”. This will shut the unit off without
damaging the oven.
Ifyoupreferadarkershade,restartthetoastingcyclebyturningtheupperknobclockwise
until the desired colour is obtained.

HINTS FOR TOASTING SUCCESS
Heavier breads and frozen breads will require a darker setting. One slice of bread will require a
lighter setting than several slices.
