CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

3

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the toaster oven. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door. The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break, however it breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to avoid scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or nick, call our toll-free customer service number.

Always unplug your toaster oven from the outlet when not in use.

Before First Use

Most heating appliances produce an odor and/or smoke when used for the first time. Plug the toaster oven into an outlet. Turn the ON/OFF Control Dial to 450°F. Heat at this temperature for 10 minutes. The odor should not be present after this initial preheating. Wash baking pan* and oven rack before using.

Toasting Tips

• To toast bagels, place oven rack in the low position and place bagels cut side facing down. This will toast the cut side more than the outside of the bagel.

• To toast English muffins, place oven rack in the low position and place English muffins with the split side facing down.

Set Toast Color Dial to the dark setting.

• To toast frozen pastry or waffles, place oven rack in the high position. Select a light color and toast directly on the oven rack. If pastry has a glaze of frosting, use baking pan.

• To toast regular toaster pastries, place oven rack in the high position. Set Toast Color Dial to Light and toast directly on the oven rack. If the pastry has a glaze or frosting, place the pastries on the baking pan.

• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door.

A toaster oven is enclosed so the moisture is slow to escape.

• When the Toast Lever pops up at the end of the cycle,

remove toast immediately or the heat remaining in the toaster oven will continue to toast and dry out your toast.

• The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will affect toast color. Adjust the Toast Color Dial to achieve the desired color.

When first using, check to determine if time or temperature should be adjusted.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not use oven cooking bags in the toaster oven.

To Broil

The Indicator Light should now be lit. The oven will not toast unless ON/OFF Control Dial is set on OFF.

Moisture forms on the inside of the oven door when toasting.

The amount of moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen pastry.

An odor and smoke comes from the toaster oven.

Smoke and odor is normal during the first use of most heating appliances. This will not be present after the initial heating period.

The Indicator Light stays on.

Turn ON/OFF Control Dial to OFF and make sure Toast Lever is in up position. If light stays on, unplug unit and call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Do not continue to use your toaster oven.

Some foods burn and some are not done.

Use the oven rack position to center food in the oven. Adjust the oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.

The oven beeps.

After two hours the oven will automatically shut off, but the

Indicator Light will stay on. A beep will sound every two minutes until the ON/OFF Control Dial is turned to OFF or the oven is unplugged. To reset and continue cooking, turn ON/OFF

Control Dial to OFF then reset at desired temperature.
