When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not place anything on top of the oven.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
4. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord,
plug, or oven in water or other liquids.
5. Do not operate appliance with damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized
service center for examination, repair, or adjustment.
6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause hazard or injury.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. When operating the oven, keep at least four inches of space
on all sides of the oven to allow for adequate air circulation.
11. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
12. To disconnect, turn the Timer and Function controls to OFF,
then remove the plug. Always hold the plug, never pull the
cord.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
14. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off
the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric
shock.
15. A re may occur if the oven is covered, touching, or near
ammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and
the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of
the oven when in operation, or before the oven cools down.

3
16. Extreme caution should be used when using containers
other than metal or glass.
17. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal
foil. This will cause overheating. Foil can be used to cover
approved cooking containers. Do not place any of the
following materials in the oven: cardboard, plastic, paper, or
anything similar.
18. Do not put face in close proximity with the tempered safety
glass door, in case the safety glass breaks.
19. Use extreme caution when removing trays or disposing of
hot grease or other hot liquids.
20. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
21. This appliance is off when the Timer and Function controls
are in the OFF position. When not in use, the oven should
always remain unplugged from the wall outlet.
22. Always wear protective insulated oven mitts when inserting
or removing items from the hot oven.
23. This appliance has a tempered safety glass door. The
glass is stronger than ordinary glass and more resistant to
breakage. Tempered glass can break, but the pieces will not
have sharp edges. Avoid scratching door surface or nicking
edges. If the door has a scratch or nick, contact our toll-free
customer service line at 1-800-492-7464 before using the
oven.
24. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

pastries in your oven. Pastries should be heated in the oven
broiler. Do not toast any food product that has been spread
with margarine, butter, jelly, frosting, syrup, or other spread.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned so
that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
A longer extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its
use.
NOTE: The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is
listed on the bottom of this unit.
Important: This oven is rated 1500 watts. Be sure this is the only
appliance operating on this circuit.
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact
a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any
way.
The oven is equipped with thermostat overload protection. If the
unit heats up beyond the recommended temperature level, the
oven and power indicator light will automatically turn off.
To reset, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and allow it to
thoroughly cool down. Once cooled down, plug unit back into
electrical outlet and proceed accordingly.
Note: When using the broil function, the bottom oven heater will
be turned off.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Read all instructions in this manual carefully.
Place your oven on a level surface such as a countertop or table.
Be sure the sides, back and top of the oven are at least four
inches away from any walls, cabinets or objects on the counter or
table.
Remove oven rack, bake tray, broil pan and crumb tray. Wash in
hot, sudsy water and dry thoroughly before placing in the oven.
When you are ready to use the oven, be sure that the Function
and Timer/Toast Shade controls are in the OFF position. Plug the
cord into a 120-volt AC outlet.
We recommend a “trial run” at a high temperature to familiarize
yourself with your oven and to eliminate any protective substance
or oil that may have been used for packing and shipping. Set the
Temperature control to 400˚F, the Timer control to 15 minutes and
the Function control to Bake to activate the oven heating element.
After the rst 10 minutes, switch the Temperature control to 450˚/
Broil/Toast to activate the upper and lower heating elements. A
small amount of smoke and odor may be detected in your toaster
oven during this trial run. This is normal.
To avoid scratching, marring, discoloration or re hazard, do not
store anything on top of the oven, especially during operation.
This appliance requires 1500 watts and should be the only
appliance operating on the circuit.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Baking: Baking function can be used as you would normally use
your large kitchen oven for roasting meats including chicken, or
baking cakes, cookies and more.
Broiling: Broiling function can be used for beef, chicken, pork,
sh and more. It also can be used to top-brown casseroles and
gratins. Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering
the bake tray and broil pan. Foil is extremely dangerous when
broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch re.
The use of foil is not recommended, but if foil is used to cover
baking or broiling tray, be sure foil is tucked neatly around it and
does not touch the walls or heating rods. Never cover crumb tray.

7
Toasting: Always have the rack in the UP position A, as indicated
in the diagram on page 9, for even toasting. Always center your
item/items in the middle of the rack.
WARNING: Placing the rack in the top position with the rack
upwards while toasting may result in a re. Refer to rack position
A on page 9 for proper placement.
Turning off the toaster oven: Turn the Function and Timer/Toast
Shade controls to OFF. The indicator light will turn off.
