HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT YOUR OVEN
• When the oven is turned on, the blue light will come on and remain illuminated until the oven
is turned off manually or automatically when the timer has been used.
• When selecting baking time for a particular product or recipe, include preheat time.
• This oven has a 60 minute timer. if baking something that will take
longer than 60 minutes, we suggest you use the STAy ON (i) feature
(F).
• metal, ovenproof glass and ceramic bakeware without lids can be
used in the oven. if foods require covering, use aluminum foil.
• Be sure the top of the container or food being baked or broiled
is at least 1½ inches away from the upper heating elements.
• Turn all controls to OFF (0) before inserting or removing plug from electrical outlet.
• Do not put any container directly on the lower heating element.
• To obtain the best performance from this toaster oven:
• Do not overfill the oven;
• To avoid heat loss do not open the door too frequently;
• When using foil to cover a food, tuck the edges of the foil against the sides of the baking
dish or pan.
• When using BAKE (Convection), this oven uses convection technology. it is equipped with a fan
that provides continuous circulation of hot air around the cooking food; the food is more evenly
cooked and in some cases, is cooked faster.

This function uses an internal fan to distribute the heat evenly.
It is not necessary to alter the baking time or temperature from those given for a recipe or
package directions.
1. insert the slide rack into the lower rack position of the oven, engaging articulated hooks as
directed above. you may also use the upper rack position, if desired.

2. Place the broil rack in the bake/broil pan and place the food directly
on the rack (G).
Note: Be sure food does not extend past the outer limits of the bake
pan/drip tray to prevent grease dripping onto the heating elements.

the rack in either the upper or lower slot positions. (Be sure food
or baking dish does not come within 1½ inches of the top heating
elements) (H).
