Setup

1. Unpacking:

Carefully remove the toaster oven and all packaging materials from the box. Ensure all accessories (bake tray, wire rack, tray handle) are present. Dispose of packaging responsibly.

2. Placement:

Place the appliance on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials or under cabinets that may be damaged by heat.

3. Initial Use (Burn-Off):

Before using for the first time, operate the oven empty to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor and some smoke, which is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

1. Plug the oven into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Set both upper and lower temperature knobs to 450°F (230°C).
3. Set the timer knob to "Stay On" or for 15-20 minutes.
4. Allow the oven to run until the odor and smoke dissipate.
5. Once cooled, wipe the interior with a damp cloth.

Operating Instructions

Controls:

The control panel features three distinct knobs for precise temperature and time adjustments.

• Upper Temperature Knob: Controls the temperature of the upper heating elements (0°F-450°F).
• Lower Temperature Knob: Controls the temperature of the lower heating elements (0°F-450°F).
• Timer Knob: Sets the cooking time from 0 to 60 minutes. It also includes a "Stay On" function for continuous operation. The timer will automatically shut off the oven and sound a signal bell when the set time expires.

Cooking Modes:

The independent temperature controls allow for various cooking configurations:

• Toast/Bake: Set both upper and lower temperature knobs to the desired temperature.
• Broil: Typically uses only the upper heating elements. Set the upper temperature knob to the desired broil temperature and the lower knob to OFF.
• Warm: Set both temperature knobs to a low setting (e.g., 150°F) to keep food warm.

Rack Positions:

The oven features four rack positions to accommodate different food sizes and cooking needs. Adjust the wire rack or bake tray to the appropriate height before preheating.

Preheating:

For best results, preheat the oven for 10-15 minutes at the desired temperature before placing food inside.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and appearance of your LUBY Toaster Oven.

General Cleaning:

1. Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. For the interior, wipe down with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a solution of water and vinegar with a little baking soda can be used (as suggested by users). Apply with a spray bottle, let sit for 15 minutes, gently scrub with a sponge, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning Accessories:

• The bake tray, wire rack, and crumb tray can be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning to the oven.
• Ensure the crumb tray is always in place at the bottom of the oven to catch crumbs and drips, making cleaning easier.
