Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. 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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when
used the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an outlet. Turn
Temperature Dial to 450°F (230°C). Heat at this temperature for
10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial
preheating. Wash baking pan and oven rack before using.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
15. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off
the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical
shock.
16. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a
toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
17. A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered, touching, or
near flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls,
and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top
of the appliance when in operation or before the appliance
cools down.
18. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers
constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
19. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer-
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
20. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven:
paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
21. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal
foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
22. To turn oven off, turn timer to OFF (O) position. See “Parts
and Features” section.
23. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered
safety glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.
24. Always use appliance with crumb tray securely in place.
25. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
26. Clean oven interior carefully. Do not scratch or damage

How to Toast
2 41
Plug in toaster oven. Place
oven rack in HIGH RACK POSITION
(shown) for toast, English
muffins, bagels, and waffles.
Turn Temperature Dial to
maximum temperature. Place
food in oven.
• When toasting only two slices of bread,
place bread in middle of oven rack to get even
toasting on top and bottom.
• To toast bagels, English muffins, and waffles,
place oven rack in HIGH RACK POSITION and
place food cut/split side facing up. This will
toast the cut/split side more than the outside
food. Set Timer to desired setting.
• To toast regular toaster pastries or frozen
pastries, place oven rack in the HIGH RACK
POSITION. Select a lighter color and toast
directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze
or frosting, use baking pan.
• When toasting, condensation may form on the
oven door. The moisture will slowly escape
from the enclosed oven.
• The number of slices of bread and the bread
freshness will affect toast color. For example,
toasting 4 slices of bread will require a darker
toast color setting than 2 slices of bread. Adjust
the Timer based on desired color and number
of slices.
• If you are not satisfied with the color balance
between the two sides of your food in the
recommended rack position, select a different
rack position.
Rotate Timer past 10 and then
back to desired toast color. A
bell will sound when the toast
cycle is complete.
wWARNING Fire Hazard.
• If contents ignite, do not open oven door. Unplug

before opening door.
• Do not operate with door open or removed.

Troubleshooting

as well as delicious recipes, tips, and
to register your product online!
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Oven will not heat. • Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and the oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to
350°F (177°C) and turn Timer to STAY ON .
Moisture forms on
inside of oven door
when toasting.
• This is normal when toasting in a toaster oven. Moisture is slower to escape from a toaster oven than
from a toaster. The amount of moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastries.
An odor and smoke
come from oven. • Smoke and odor are normal during first use of most heating appliances. These will not be present after initial heating period.
Oven will not toast. • Check to make sure outlet is working and oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to (toast) and
rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color.
Some foods burn
and some are not
done.
• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.
Concentrated steam
comes out of top
corners of oven
door.
• Moisture escaping from oven will be concentrated into streams from the top corners of the door. This
gives the appearance of smoke. This is normal for this product.
