Bake Function
Food Position:
Center food on the cooking rack and adjust the rack
height so the food is centered in the Toaster Oven.
The lower slots with the rack in the up position is a
good starting point. Be sure to account for foods that
rise when cooked by placing them lower in the Toaster
Oven. Because the top and bottom heating elements
are activated during this function, adjusting the rack
height up or down may be necessary for even cooking.
convection Fan:
Turned on by default for faster, more even cooking.
This will shorten cooking times for most foods by
circulating air inside the Toaster Oven. Centering the
food and using cookware that allows more circulation
will provide the best results. This may be turned off by
pressing the Convection button.
1 After centering the food in the Toaster Oven and
closing the door, turn the Function/Mode control
knob to BAKE.
2 Press the Temp/Darkness button, and then turn
the Temp/Time control knob to the desired
cooking temperature per recipe or packaging
instructions and press the Set button. Pressing
the Set button will select the current temperature
(or darkness, Time/Size/Slice setting when
adjusting those settings); however, pressing the
Time/Size/Slice button or Start/Cancel button
or simply waiting five seconds will also set the
current temperature, darkness, time, size, or
slice.
3 Press the Time/Size/
Slice button, and turn the
Temp/Time control knob
to the desired cooking
time.
4 Press the Start/Cancel
button to begin cooking.
5 When the time has
elapsed, the tone will sound and the oven will
automatically shut off.
6 If food is to be removed before the cycle ends,
simply press the Start/Cancel button to shut the
oven off. Then, remove the food.
Broil Function
Food Position:
Broiling is typically used to cook food from the top down
and promotes browning on top by only activating the top
heating elements. Food will brown quicker the closer it is
placed to the top heating elements by utilizing the middle
or upper slots; however, food should always be at least
1” (2.5 cm) away from the heating elements. If food
is browning too much then the rack height should be
lowered or the temperature turned down.
1 Place the food to be broiled toward the center of
the rack, and then close the oven door. The Toaster
Oven does not have an open door feature, so the
door must be closed during use.
2 Set the Function/Mode control knob to BROIL.
3 The default cooking temperature for broiling is
preset to 400°F. If you would like to change the
temperature setting, press the Temp/Darkness
button, and then turn the Temp/Time control knob
to select 300°F for low.
4 Press the Time/Slice/Size
button, and then turn the
Temp/Time control knob to
the desired cooking time.
5 Press the Start/Cancel
button to start the oven.
6 Monitor the broiling
progress since browning with infrared elements can
be achieved very quickly.
7 When broiling food on both sides, set the time for
each side. When the tone sounds, the oven will
automatically shut off, and you can then turn the
food over and reset the oven for the other side.
8 When the time elapses, a tone will sound and the
oven will automatically shut off.
9 If food is to be removed before the cycle ends,
simply press the Start/Cancel button to shut the
Toaster Oven off. Then, remove the food.
 note
Food to be broiled should be at least 1” (2.5 cm) from
the heating elements on the top of the oven. For foods
such as fish or chicken, or where less browning is
desired, place the rack in a lower position.
