SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
18. Do not store any materials, other than
appliance manufacturer recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.
19. Do not place any of the following
materials in the oven: paper, cardboard,
plastic, and the like.
20. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of
the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the oven.
21. To turn the oven off, or stop a toast
cycle, push the “STOP” button on the
control panel.
22. Do not place eyes or face in close
proximity with tempered safety glass
door in the event that the safety
glass breaks.
23. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
24. Before using this appliance, move it 2 to
4 inches away from wall or any object on
the countertop. Remove any object that
may have been placed on top of the
appliance. Do not use on surfaces where
heat may cause a problem.
25. If plug gets hot, please call a qualified
electrician.
26. The oven door is not a shelf. Do not
place anything on the door.
27. Use extreme caution when extending
loaded rack or adding food to extended
rack.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by modifying
the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be equal to or greater than the rating of the
toaster oven. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
This appliance is equipped with a fully
tempered safety glass door. The tempered
glass is four times stronger than ordinary
glass and more resistant to breakage.
Tempered glass can break, however it breaks
into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must
be taken to avoid scratching door surface or
nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or
nick, call our toll-free customer assistance
number.
When heavy foods are on the oven rack, do
not pull the oven rack out more than halfway.
To baste or check for doneness, remove food
from the oven and place on heat-resistant
countertop surface or trivet.
Do not place bake pan directly on heating
elements.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload,
do not operate another high-wattage appli-
ance on the same circuit with the toaster
oven.

Toast
Toasting Tips!
• To toast frozen pastry or waffles,
place oven rack in high position.
Select a light color and toast directly
on oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or
frosting, use baking pan to prevent
dripping.
• The number of slices of bread, the
bread freshness, and the starting tem-
perature of the oven will affect toast
color. Adjust the toast Shade Selector
to achieve the desired color.
• When toasting, condensation may
form on oven door. A toaster is open
and allows moisture to escape. A
toaster oven is a closed space and so
moisture is slow to escape. This is
normal.
• At the end of the toast cycle, remove
toast immediately or the heat remain-
ing in the toaster oven will continue to
toast and dry out your toast.

the toaster oven than from a toaster. The
amount of moisture will differ among
fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastry.
Smoke and odor is normal during the first
use of most heating appliances.
This will not be present after the initial
heating period.
Press the STOP button. If light stays on,
unplug unit and call our toll-free cus-
tomer assistance number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment. Do
not continue to use your toaster oven.
Use the oven rack position to center food
in the oven. Adjust the oven temperature
or cooking time for best results with your
recipes. Dense frozen foods may take
longer to cook in a toaster oven than the
traditional oven cooking time shown on
the food’s package.
Please be careful. The top and sides of
oven get very hot, but this is normal.
Oven starts timing after preheat light goes
out. Oven turns off at end of set time. If
you do not set the time, it will default to
the last time selected for the last item
baked. If the unit is unplugged or power is
lost, time will default to standard function
defaults.
Toasting varies with different types of
bread, age of the bread, and location of
bread on rack or rack position.

sécurité doivent toujours être observées, y compris ce qui suit :
wAVERTISSEMENT
Risque d’incendie
• Ne pas faire marcher l’appareil sans surveillance en mode Toast (pain grillé) ou Bagel.
• Ne pas utiliser l’appareil avec des sacs de cuisson au four
• Ne pas stocker de matériels autres que les accessoires recommandés dans ce four
lorsqu’il ne sert pas.
• Toujours compter 1 po entre les aliments et l’élément chauffant.
• Ne pas couvrir l’appareil et ne pas l’utiliser à proximité de rideaux, murs, placards, pro-
duits en papier ou en plastique, serviettes en tissu, etc. Garder à 2 à 4 po du mur ou de tout
objet du comptoir.
• Une étroite surveillance doit être exercée lorsque l’appareil est utilisé par des enfants ou
à proximité de ceux-ci.
• Toujours débrancher le four grille-pain lorsqu’il ne sert pas.
• Un nettoyage régulier permet de réduire le risque d’incendie.
• Ne pas suivre ces instructions peut entraîner un incendie, voire la mort.
1. Lire toutes les instructions.
2. Ne pas toucher les surfaces chaudes.
Utiliser les poignées ou boutons.
3. Pour protéger contre le risque de choc
électrique, ne pas immerger le cordon, la
fiche ou le four grille-pain dans l’eau ou
autre liquide. Voir les instructions pour
le «Nettoyage.»
4. Une bonne surveillance est nécessaire
pour tout appareil utilisé par des enfants
ou près d’eux.
5. Débrancher l’appareil de la prise de
courant électrique lorsqu’il n’est pas
utilisé et avant un nettoyage. Le laisser
refroidir avant le nettoyage et avant d’y
placer ou d’y enlever des pièces.
6. Ne pas faire fonctionner un appareil élec-
troménager avec un cordon ou une fiche
endommagé(e), ou lorsque l’appareil ne
fonctionne pas bien ou a été échappé ou

Cet appareil est destiné à l’utilisation
domestique seulement.
Cet appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée.
Ce type de fiche présente une broche plus
large que l’autre. La fiche peut être
introduite dans une prise dans un sens
seulement. Il s’agit d’une caractéristique de
sécurité visant à réduire le risque de choc
électrique. Si la fiche ne peut pas être
insérée dans la prise, la tourner dans l’autre
sens. Si elle ne peut toujours pas être insérée
dans la prise, contacter un électricien
qualifié pour qu’il remplace la prise désuète.
Ne pas essayer de contourner l’objectif de
sécurité de la fiche polarisée en la modifiant
de quelque manière que ce soit.
La longueur du cordon de cet appareil a été
choisie de façon à ce que l’on ne risque pas
de trébucher dessus. Si un cordon plus long
est nécessaire, utiliser une rallonge
appropriée. Le calibrage de la rallonge doit
être le même que celui de l’appareil ou
supérieur. Lorsqu’on utilise une rallonge,
s’assurer qu’elle ne traverse pas la zone de
travail, que des enfants ne puissent pas tirer
dessus par inadvertance et qu’on ne puisse
pas trébucher dessus.
Cet appareil est doté d’une porte en verre
trempé. Le verre trempé est quatre fois plus
robuste que le verre ordinaire et plus résis-
tant aux bris. Le verre trempé peut se briser,
mais il se brise en pièces sans bords
coupants. Il faut prendre soin d’éviter d’é-
gratigner la surface de la porte ou
d’endommager le contour. Si la porte a une
égratignure ou un bris, composer notre
numéro sans frais d’assistance à la clientèle.
Lorsque des aliments lourds sont sur la grille
du four, ne pas sortir la grille du four plus de
la moitié. Pour arroser ou vérifier la cuisson,
sortir les aliments du four et placer le plat sur
une surface de comptoir résistante à la
chaleur ou sur un dessous de plat.
La porte du four grille-pain n’est pas une
tablette. Ne rien placer sur la porte.
Ne pas placer la lèchefrite directement sur
les éléments chauffants
Pour éviter une surcharge des circuits élec-
triques, ne pas faire fonctionner d’autre
appareil électroménager de haute tension
sur le même circuit que le four grille-pain.

Pour faire griller le pain (ne pas laisser le four grille-pain sans surveillance)
Conseils pour faire griller!
• Pour faire griller les pâtisseries ou
des gaufres congelées, placer la grille
du four à la position élevée. Choisir
une couleur pâle et faire griller
directement sur la grille du four. Si la
pâtisserie est recouverte d’un glaçage,
utiliser la lèchefrite pour empêcher
les gouttes de couler.
• Le nombre de tranches de pain, la
fraîcheur du pain et la température
initiale du four affecteront la couleur
des rôties. Régler le sélecteur de
couleur du pain grillé pour obtenir la
couleur désirée.
• Lors du grillage, une condensation
peut se former sur la porte du four.
Un grille-pain est ouvert et permet à
l’humidité de s’échapper. Un four
grille-pain comporte un espace
fermé et l’humidité s’échappe plus
lentement. Ceci est normal.
• À la fin du programme pour faire
griller, enlever la rôtie immédiate-
ment sinon la chaleur qui reste dans
le four grille-pain continuera de faire
griller et asséchera la rôtie.
1. Placer la grille de four dans la rainure
supérieure Placer le pain au centre de
la grille du four.
2. Appuyer sur le bouton Toast.
3. À l’aide des flèches de déplacement
vertical, sélectionner la couleur de
pain grillé désirée. Cinq segments
indiquent la couleur la plus foncée, un
segment la couleur la plus claire.
4. À la fin du cycle de fonctionnement
du four grille-pain, 3 bips courts sont
émis. Les témoins Toast (pain grillé)
et ON (marche) s’éteignent.
5. Pour couper plus tôt le cycle de fonc-
tionnement du grille-pain, appuyer
sur le bouton Stop.
6. Lorsque le pain est grillé comme
désiré, débrancher le four.
wAVERTISSEMENT
Risque d’incendie
Ne pas laisser le four grille-pain sans surveillance en mode Toast.
Emploi du four grille-pain
CONSEIL ! Le four grille-pain se souvient des derniers réglages de température et de
temps qui sont faits dans les cinq minutes après l’extinction du témoin de
préchauffage. En cas de panne de courant ou si l’unité a été débranchée, le four
grille-pain revient par défaut aux réglages pré-réglés.
