IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1Read all instructions carefully before using your toaster oven.
2To protect against any electrical hazards, DO NOT place the unit or power cord
in water or other liquids.
3Do not touch any hot surfaces. Use oven mitts for removing or touching any
hot parts. Always place the toaster oven on heat-resistant surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
4Leave about 4–6 in. (10–15 cm) of open space around the exterior of the
toaster oven.
5Unplug the unit from the outlet when it is not in use and before cleaning.
Always allow the toaster oven to cool before attaching or removing any parts.
6Use of accessory attachments is not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer because they may cause injuries.
7Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch a
hot surface.
8Do not place the toaster oven inside of a heated oven or near a hot gas or
electric burner.
9Do not use outdoors.
10 Do not use your toaster oven if the cord or plug has been damaged or after
your toaster oven has malfunctioned or been damaged in any other way.
Return your toaster oven to the nearest authorized service facility for repair or
adjustment.
11 Store only the accessories that were provided inside of your toaster oven
when it is not in use. Do not store any other materials.
12 Do not put any items on top of the toaster oven when it is in use or place the
toaster oven close to curtains, draperies, walls, or other flammable materials. A
fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered or touching flammable material.
13 Do not place any cardboard, paper, or plastic inside of the toaster oven.
14 Make sure that all containers placed inside of the toaster oven are not airtight
and have enough room to allow for expansion of fluids.
15 Clean your toaster oven regularly. A buildup of grease may cause a fire.
16 Do not clean your toaster oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces of the pad
can break off and touch electrical parts, which increases your risk of electric
shock.
17 In order to prevent accidental burns, always use the handle and knobs to
operate your toaster oven.
18 Do not touch the exterior of the toaster oven when it is in use. The
temperature of the door or the housing may be hot.
19 Do not place oversized food or metal utensils inside of your toaster oven.
Doing so may result in a fire or in risk of electric shock.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this system
to rain or moisture.

20 Do not cover the crumb tray or any other part of the toaster oven with metal
foil. This will cause the toaster oven to overheat.
21 Use extreme caution when moving something containing hot oil or other hot
liquids and when removing a tray or disposing of hot grease.
22 Do not allow someone with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities;
someone with a lack of experience and knowledge; or children to use your
toaster oven unless they have been given supervision or instruction regarding
use of the toaster oven by a person that is responsible for their safety.
23 Supervise children to make sure that they do not play with your toaster oven.
24 Do not use an external timer or separate remote control system with your
toaster oven.

handles or knobs.
26 Turn any knob to "OFF" before unplugging your toaster oven.
27 Do not use your toaster oven for anything other than its intended use.
28 Use extreme caution when handling objects that are not made of metal or
glass.
29 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
30 To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled or
tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised.
1If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop, where it can be tripped over or pulled on by children.
2The power cord should only be repaired by a qualified electrician.
3This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACES!

5Place the toaster oven on a flat counter in an open area where the plug can
reach a power outlet.
6Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
Note: During initial startup you may notice a slight smell and/or smoke. This is
normal. Turn the temperature to max and let run for approximately five minutes.

there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) between the toaster oven and any other surface
(including cords). Make sure that the cord is not resting against the back of the

Troubleshooting
Check this list for a possible solution before calling for service.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Overcooked /
Undercooked foods
You may have to adjust the time and temperature to
the desired cooking level.
Because your toaster oven is smaller than your regular
oven, it heats up faster and generally cooks quicker.
You may need to adjust the racks/trays to achieve the
cooking level you want.
If you use your toaster oven several times in a row, the
additional items may be browner because your toaster
oven is already hot. Adjust the toaster oven settings.
Burnt food smell
Before using your oven for the first time, we
recommend that you heat it to 450°F (232°C) for five
minutes to eliminate any manufacturing residue that
may remain after shipping.
You may have food buildup inside the toaster oven, on
heating elements, or in the crumb tray. See “Cleaning
your toaster oven” on page 9.
Your toaster oven does not
turn on or stay on
Your toaster oven may be unplugged. Plug the toaster
oven into a 120-volt AC electrical outlet.
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your toaster oven may not operate
properly. Your toaster oven should be operated on an
electrical circuit that is separate from other operating
appliances.
Heating element does not
stay on
Heating elements turn on and off to maintain the
temperature you selected. This is normal.
The heating element may not glow when heating.
My toaster oven smokes
A small amount of smoke is normal the first couple of
times your toaster oven is used. If your toaster oven
continues to smoke, unplug it, let it cool, then empty
the crumb tray. Stop using your toaster oven and
contact an authorized service representative if your
toaster oven still continues to smoke.
