Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying it or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The cord length was selected to reduce hazards of becoming tangled or tripping. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used, provided its electrical rating is equal to or greater than the appliance's. Arrange the extension cord so it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
The tempered safety glass door is four times stronger than ordinary glass and more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break into pieces with no sharp edges. Avoid scratching the door surface or nicking the edges. If the door has a scratch or nick, visit hamiltonbeach.com.
Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.

How to Use
Before First Use: Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used the first time. Plug Oven into an outlet. Turn Temperature Knob to 450°F (230°C).

Stay On Function: The Oven can be set to stay on by turning Timer to Stay On while pressing and holding buttons on the side of the Knob.
Air Fry Mode ( ▲ )
Use Air Fry mode to crisp foods using little added oil. Keep at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between food and heating elements. Slice or cut fresh foods in uniform size pieces for even cooking. Preheat Oven for faster cooking.
- Plug into outlet. Rotate Function Knob to Air Fry (▲).
- Arrange foods in a single, even layer in the Air Frying Basket, avoiding overfilling. Insert Oven Rack so food is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the heating element. Slide Baking/Broiling Pan under Oven Rack to catch drippings. Place Air Frying Basket with food on Oven Rack. Note: Use bread crumb coatings or lightly spritz with oil. Sauces or batter coatings are not appropriate for air frying.

- Rotate Timer clockwise past 10, then back to “dark toast” to preheat Oven for 5 minutes.

- Rotate Timer to OFF (☒) to end the cycle at any time.

Broil Mode ( △ )
Place Oven Rack in the top rack position for faster broiling, or bottom rack position for browning casserole tops, toasting sandwiches, melting cheese, or for foods needing longer broiling times. Place Baking/Broiling Pan on Oven Rack. DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. Food must be a minimum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) from heating elements.
- Plug into outlet. Turn Temperature Knob to Air Fry/Toast/Broil and Function Knob to Broil (△).
- Rotate Timer clockwise past 10, then to the desired broiling time, or rotate Timer to Stay On while pressing and holding buttons on the side of the Knob. Turn foods when browned or halfway through cooking time. Oven broils on high temperature and cannot be adjusted.

Test Kitchen Tips
- Visit foodsafety.gov for safe cooking temperature information.
- Bake foods, such as pizza, on the bottom rack position. Place food directly on Oven Rack or in Baking/Broiling Pan.
- When toasting only two slices of bread, place bread in the center of the toasting area on the bottom rack position for even toasting.
- Do not totally enclose foods in aluminum foil. Foil can insulate foods and slow down heating.
- Preheating before Air Frying can shorten cooking time and improve crispness.
- Turn, flip, or stir foods halfway through cooking time for even cooking.
- Slice or cut fresh foods in uniform size pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use bread crumb coatings or lightly spritz with oil. Sauces or batter coatings are not appropriate for air frying.
- Lining the baking pan underneath the basket makes cleanup easier. Do not line the air fry basket with parchment paper or foil as it blocks air flow to the food.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not clean with metal scouring pads.
Clean your oven regularly for best performance and long life. Regular cleaning will also reduce the risk of fire hazard.
- Unplug and allow to cool completely.
- To clean the inside of the Oven, wipe walls, bottom, and glass door with a damp, soapy cloth. Repeat with a damp, clean cloth. For stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad.
- Wipe the outside of the Oven with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
- Wash Slide-Out Crumb Tray, Baking/Broiling Pan, Air Frying Basket, and Oven Rack in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
Troubleshooting
- Oven will not heat: Check to make sure the electrical outlet is working and the Oven is plugged in. Ensure correct settings are selected.
- Moisture forms on inside of Oven door when toasting: This is normal and moisture escapes slower from an oven than a toaster.
- An odor and smoke come from Oven: Smoke and odor are normal during the first use of most heating appliances and should not be present after the initial heating period.
- Oven will not toast: Check to make sure the outlet is working and the Oven is plugged in. Ensure correct settings are selected.
- Some foods burn and some are not done: Adjust Oven Rack position to center food in the Oven. Adjust Oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.
