Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
- A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
- Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

Getting Started (Setup)
Unpacking
Carefully remove the oven from its packaging. Ensure all packing materials, including any foam or cardboard inserts inside the oven cavity, are removed. Check for any damage during transit.
Placement
Place the oven on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space on all sides of the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place the oven directly against a wall or under cabinets.
Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the removable crumb tray, wire rack, and baking pan in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
To eliminate any manufacturing odors, operate the oven empty on the "Bake" setting at 400°F (205°C) for approximately 10 minutes. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

Operating Instructions
Control Panel Overview
The digital control panel allows for precise selection of cooking functions, temperature, and time.
- Digital Display: Shows selected function, temperature, and time.
- Function Dial/Buttons: Used to select Bake, Broil, Toast, or Keep Warm.
- Temperature/Shade Dial: Adjusts cooking temperature or toast shade level.
- Timer Dial/Buttons: Sets cooking duration up to 90 minutes.
- Start/Cancel Button: Initiates or stops the cooking cycle.
Functions
This oven offers four primary cooking functions:
- Bake: Ideal for casseroles, cookies, and other baked goods. Use the wire rack in the middle or lower position.
- Broil: For grilling and browning. Place food on the wire rack in the top position.
- Toast: For bread, bagels, and frozen waffles. Adjust toast shade from light to dark.
- Keep Warm: Maintains food at serving temperature without further cooking.
Using Convection
The convection feature circulates hot air for faster and more even cooking. It is automatically engaged with the Bake and Broil functions. When using convection, it is often recommended to reduce the recipe's cooking temperature by 25°F (15°C) and/or cooking time by 20-25%.
Rack Positions
The oven features three rack positions to accommodate various food sizes and cooking needs:
- Top Position: Best for broiling or for thin items requiring intense heat.
- Middle Position: Standard position for most baking and toasting.
- Lower Position: For larger items like roasts or casseroles, or when using the baking pan.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Crumb Tray: Slide out the removable crumb tray from the bottom of the oven. Discard crumbs and wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
- Wire Rack and Baking Pan: Wash in warm, soapy water. For stubborn food residue, soak in warm water before scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.
- Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the oven in water.
Storage
Ensure the oven is clean and dry before storing. Store the oven in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; coil it loosely.
