IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer 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.
12. To disconnect, turn all controls to OFF; then remove plug from
wall outlet.
13. Use extreme caution when removing pan or disposing of hot
grease.
14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the
pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.
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 con-
structed of materials other than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer-recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

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 using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an elec-
trician 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.
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 (230ºC). 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.
NOTE: *Broil rack is an optional accessory on select models.
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
24
13
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.
• Do not leave appliance unattended when in operation.
• Always unplug toaster oven when not in use.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Oven will not heat.
Moisture forms on
inside of oven door
when toasting.
An odor and smoke
come from oven.
Oven will not toast.
Some foods burn and
some are not done.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and the oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to
350°F (180ºC). Turn Function Dial to BAKE; then turn Timer to STAY ON.
• 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.
•Smoke and odor are normal during first use of most heating appliances. These will not be present after
initial heating period.
•Check to make sure outlet is working and oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature Dial to TOAST/BROIL.
Turn Function Dial to TOAST; then rotate Timer past 10 and then back to desired toast color.
•Adjust oven rack position to center food in oven.
• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.
