The BALMUDA Rebaker Toaster Oven is designed to reheat various foods, including bread and fried items, to their optimal texture and temperature. It features precise temperature control to ensure delicious results without burning. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your appliance.

• ReBake Mode: Perfect for reheating store-bought bread or pastries, making them fluffy and hot without burning. Cooking time typically 3 to 6 minutes.
• Fried Mode: Designed for reheating fried foods like croquettes, fried chicken, or french fries, restoring their crispness. Use the included stainless steel tray and wire rack for best results. Cooking times vary: Croquettes 7-8 minutes, Fried Potatoes 4-6 minutes, Fried Chicken 10-15 minutes.

Using Fried Mode

For optimal results with fried foods, place them on the wire rack, which is set inside the stainless steel tray. This allows air circulation and helps drain excess oil, ensuring a crispy texture.
