TABLE OF CONTENTS

Read all instructions before using this toaster oven.
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety should always be followed, including
the following:
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Never try to disassemble, repair, or remodel the toaster oven. There is a danger of fire or
malfunction, causing injury.
• To disconnect, turn all controls (knobs) to the “OFF” position, then remove the plug
from the wall outlet.
• Leave about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) of open space around the exterior of this
appliance.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not operate the oven near flammable materials. A fire may occur if the appliance is
covered or touching flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, etc., when in
operation.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or toaster oven in
water or other liquid. Do not let any water or other liquid enter the appliance to prevent
electric shock.
• Do not place the oven on or near a hot gas or electric burner. Always place the toaster
oven on heat-protected surfaces.
• Unplug the oven from the outlet when the appliance is not in use, before putting in or
taking out parts, and before cleaning. Allow it to cool down before handling.
• Do not place the toaster oven on a carpet.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands. This may result in electric
shock.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Do not allow children to use the toaster oven. Do not use the toaster oven within reach
of children to avoid the risk of burns, electric shock, or other injuries.
• Before connecting the power adapter to a power socket, make sure that the voltage on
its rating label corresponds to the voltage in the power socket to which you wish to
connect it.
• If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not
operate properly. This appliance should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other operating appliances.
• Never operate this toaster oven if it has a damaged cord or plug if it is not working
properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped in water. Do not attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. If in need of repair, please contact Mueller customer
service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1

• Keep the toaster oven further away from the wall or cabinet than indicated in the picture
above if the wall or cabinet is coated with vinyl or resin.
• Do not store any item on top of the oven when in operation.
• The use of accessories not recommended by Mueller may cause injuries.
• Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and
similar.
• Do not store any materials, other than the manufacturer's recommended accessories,
in this oven when not in use.
• We recommend using the multi-purpose metal pans inside this toaster oven such as
enamel baking pan, galvanized baking pan, aluminum plated baking pan, non-stick oil
baking pan, ceramic oil baking pan.
• Never touch the inside of the appliance while it is operating.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• Always wear protective, insulated oven mitts when inserting or removing items from
the hot oven, or use the provided Toast Tongs.
• Use extreme caution when removing the crumb tray or disposing of hot grease.
• Replace cardboard lids on food containers with aluminum foil because cardboard lids
may burn. When using aluminum foil, keep it away from heating elements.
• Do not cover the crumb tray or the walls of the oven tray (including the heating
elements) with metal foil. It will lead to overheating of the oven and is a fire hazard.
• To prevent smoking, spattering, and the possibility of food catching on fire, do not put
the food too close to the heating elements.
• Oversized foods and metal utensils must not be placed inside the toaster oven as they
may create fire or create a risk of electric shock.
• Do not heat more than necessary. Overheating can cause the food to catch fire.
• Do not touch the metallic parts or the glass window during or immediately after use.
There is a danger of getting burnt.
• Non-oily food can be placed directly on the baking rack while oily food should be
wrapped in aluminum foil as oil spilled on the crumb tray may burn, causing
smoke and fire.
• Do not use parchment paper or cooking sheet other than for putting it under cake
molds. Do not use cake-mix paper molds. The parchment paper or cooking sheet
might burn or catch fire.
2

• Do not use this unit for anything else except for cooking.
• For household use only.
• Stale toast, croutons, crackers may catch fire inside this appliance. Watch the toasting
process carefully.
• Do not heat canned or bottled goods directly. There is a danger of burns or injury.
• Clean this appliance regularly as a built-up of grease may cause a fire.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Do not use outdoors.
• When in use, make sure the crumb tray is clean and installed correctly.
• If the food you are cooking emits smoke or catches fire, turn off the power button,
then disconnect the power plug. Do not open the door until the flame dies down. If
air enters the interior of the toaster oven, the flame will become more significant.
• Do not use water on grease fires; smother fire or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Use only a soapy damp cloth to clean the glass on the oven door. Do not use any sharp
utensils as this may damage the glass and possibly cause the breaking of the glass.
• Do not leave the oven unattended when in operation.
The temperature of all surfaces marked with this symbol will be very hot
when the appliance is in use and after use. Do not touch these surfaces as
possible injury could occur. Allow to cool down completely before handling
this appliance.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE!

HOW TO USE - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
2 PLACE THE FOOD ON THE BAKING PAN and then
PLACE THE BAKING PAN ON THE BAKING RACK, and
securely shut the oven door.
WARNING: Non-oily food can be placed directly on the
Baking Rack while oily food should be wrapped in
aluminum foil as oil spilled on the crumb tray may burn,
causing smoke and tarnishing the tray.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you always use an oven
proof container in the oven. Never use plastic or
cardboard containers in the oven. You can use glass lids
but make sure that the temperature resistance of the glass
is a minimum of 480ºF (250ºC).Ceramic pans or dishes
can be used in the oven, but the temperature resistance of
the ceramic must be above 150ºF (815 ºC).
1 PLACE THE BAKING RACK ON A RACK POSITION that
will accommodate the height of the food to be cooked.
Note: During operation, the heating elements will turn
on and off intermittently to maintain the selected
temperature.
3 SET THE TEMPERATURE by turning the Temperature
Knob clockwise to the desired temperature. The
temperature can be set from 140ºF to 482ºF (60ºC to
250ºC).
Preheating: In general, it is not necessary to preheat the
oven, but you may get better results if you preheat the
oven before cooking some delicate meals, such as rare
medium meat and cakes.
4 CHOOSE A COOKING FUNCTION by turning the
Cooking-Functions Knob clockwise to the desired
function (Toasting, Baking, or Broiling).

The timer can be changed during the cooking cycle.
-You can stop the cooking cycle at any time by turning
the timer to the “OFF” position.
IMPORTANT: When setting the timer for less than 5
minutes, always rotate the timer past 5 minutes and
then switch back to your chosen time. This will ensure
a safe and accurate time.

ALL 3 SETTINGS (FUNCTION, TEMPERATURE, AND
TIMER) MUST BE ADJUSTED!
6 After cooking is complete, turn all controls (knobs) to the
“OFF” position, open the oven door and remove the food.
Note: Always remove food with protective oven
gloves. The food and oven will be very hot.
CAUTION: The food may catch fire if the cooking lasts
for too long. Close supervision is necessary during
cooking.
-If you want to decrease the cooking time, first turn the
timer knob slightly clockwise so that it exceeds the
existing time, and then return it to the desired time by
turning the knob counter-clockwise.
