cool before cleaning appliance and putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces 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 counter-
top 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 service number.
Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.
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.
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 oven off, turn timer to OFF position. See “Parts and
Features” section.
22. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered
safety glass door, in the event that the safety glass breaks.
23. Always use appliance with crumb tray securely in place.
24. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
25. Clean oven interior carefully. Do not scratch or damage heating
element tube.

How to Toast
2 41 3
Place oven rack in HIGH RACK
POSITION (shown) for toast, English
muffins, bagels, and waffles.
Turn Temperature Dial to BROIL/
TOAST.Rotate Timer past 10 and then
back to desired toast color. A bell
will sound when the toast cycle is
complete.
•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 MIDDLE RACK POSITION. Select
a color lighter than Medium 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.
Fire Hazard.
• If contents ignite, do not open oven door. Unplug oven and
allow contents to stop burning and cool before opening door.
