IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug,
or toaster oven in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow
to 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
information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Be sure to allow hot oil
or liquids to cool before moving appliance.
12. To disconnect, turn all controls to Off, then remove plug from
wall outlet.

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 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 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 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 for the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an
outlet. Turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F. Heat at this
temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present
after this initial preheating. Wash baking pan, broil rack, and
oven rack before using.
CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
15. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a
toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
16. 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.
17. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers
constructed of other than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any materials, other than Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex, Inc. recommended accessories, in this oven.
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.

• To toast English muffins, place oven rack in the low
position and place English muffins with the split side
facing down. Set Toast Color Knob to the dark setting.
• To toast regular toaster pastries, frozen pastry, or
waffles, place oven rack in the medium position. Select a
light color and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has
a glaze of frosting, use baking pan.
• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door.
A toaster oven is enclosed so moisture is slow to escape.
• 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 Toast Color Knob based on desired
color and number of slices.
To Keep Warm
1. Set Temperature Knob to Keep Warm.
2. Set Function Knob to Keep Warm.
3. Set Timer between 5 and 15 minutes or to Stay On.
4. When finished, turn OFF. Unplug from outlet.
Warming and Reheating Tips:
• Do not totally enclose foods in aluminum foil. Foil can
insulate foods and slow down heating.
• To reheat rolls or biscuits, place on baking pan and heat
at 300ºF for 10 minutes.
• Reheat leftover roasts or casseroles at 350ºF for 20 to 30
minutes or until heated through.
To Toast
Do not leave appliance unattended when in operation.
Do not leave the toaster oven unattended during
toasting or top-browning.
1. Place the oven rack in middle position for bread, pastry, or
frozen waffles. Place oven rack in low position for bagels
or English muffins (see Toasting Tips).
2. Set Temperature Knob to Toast.
3. Set Function Knob to Toast.
4. Turn Toast Color Knob to at least 5 and
then back to the desired toast color setting
(for accurate times under 5 minutes).
5. A bell will sound when cycle is completed.
When finished, turn OFF. Unplug from
outlet.
Toasting Tips
• When toasting only two
slices of bread, place bread
towards front of oven to get
similar toasting on top and
bottom.
• To toast bagels, place oven
rack in the low position and
place bagels cut side facing down. This will toast the cut
side more than the outside of the bagel. Set the Toast Color
Knob to desired setting.

• Use oven rack in high position for faster broiling times. Use
low position for foods needing longer broiling times, like
chicken.
• Always allow at least one inch between the food and the
heating element.
