Heating performance
This toaster oven employs Krups patented Expert Quartz Cycling Technology™. The top 3 heating
elements and bottom 3 heating elements are powered alternately at full power to heat food more
quickly and provide ultra precise temperature control. Monitor results carefully as cooking time can
be reduced by as much as 30%.
It is normal for one set of elements to turn off while the other set is heating at full
power.
The ends of each heating element will glow more brightly than the middle of the
