SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware
stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an
extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also
the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V, and
at least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.
ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your Toaster Oven Broiler may not operate properly. The
Toaster Oven Broiler should be operated on a separate electrical circuit
from other operating appliances.
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.

Oven Broiler Functions
The BAKE and BROIL programs of your new toaster oven broiler
have the versatility to bake, broil, defrost and keep foods warm. The
toaster oven broiler has an adjustable thermostat with temperatures
ranging from 100°F/37°C up to 500°F/260°C. This allows you to
prepare your favorite recipes according to package or recipe
directions. The bake program has a 4 hour timer and the broil
program a 1 hour timer. The OPERATION light on the control panel
will be on while the unit is operating. The OPERATION light will
flash continually when program is COMPLETE and when the door is
opened it will turn off.
Ovenware manufacturers do not recommend using see-through glass
containers or lids in this oven. Opaque 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.
Programming Preheat Bake,

1. Plug unit into a 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. Close the door.
2. Press BAKE button to select a BAKE program. If pressed once, the
PREHEAT BAKE program is selected. If pressed twice, the BAKE
program is selected. Press BROIL to select broil program.
3. When any oven program is chosen, the clock will appear in the
window first. Set the time by pressing the UP ARROW to move to

desired time, you may push the down arrow to reduce the total time.
When using the PREHEAT BAKE program, the time will not begin
to count down until the oven goes into the BAKE program. If you
prefer, you may program your time after the PREHEAT BAKE is
complete and when you place your food into the oven.
