Getting To Know
Your Toaster-Oven-Broiler
Your new Toastmaster toaster-oven-broiler has the versatility to bake,
broil, defrost, toast, top brown and keep foods warm. The adjustable
thermostat allows you to prepare recipes according to package or
recipe directions. The Power Light will be on any time the unit is
operating. Both upper and lower heating elements will be on when
toasting, baking, defrosting, top browning and keeping foods warm. Only
the upper elements will be on when broiling.
CAUTION: APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT DURING AND
AFTER USE.
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE, INSULATED OVEN
MITTS ON HANDS WHEN TOUCHING HOT OVEN OR HOT
DISHES AND FOOD OR WHEN INSERTING OR REMOVING
RACK, PAN OR BAKING DISH.
Ovenware manufacturers do not recommend using see-through glass
baking containers or lids in this oven. Glass-ceramic baking containers
may be used. Do not use oven roasting bags in this oven, as they may
come in contact with the heating elements.
Bake/Broil Pan, Toast Rack
And Broil Insert
For best results use pan to bake, defrost, top brown, keep warm and
to minimize clean-up due to spills.
For toasting, place bread directly on rack.
When broiling, both the bake/broil pan and the broil insert rack
must be used.
Timer
The TIMER control dial also acts as the oven’s ON and OFF switch.
Turn the timer clockwise to select the appropriate cooking time up to
2 hours. When timer is complete, a signal will sound and the unit will
turn off automatically. If cooking for less than 10 minutes, using the
timer is not recommended.

position. However, the rack may be adjusted to accommodate the
different thickness of foods.
