NOTE : The oven may smoke during initial heat-up due to the oils used in manufacturing.
This is normal for a new appliance.
• If your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
• Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
• The cord length of this product has been selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping
over a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be
rated no less than 15 amps., 120 volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories/CSA listing.
• A six feet long, 15 amp. extension cord may be purchased from your local authorized service
facility. When using a longer cord, be sure not to let it drape over the working area or dangle where
someone could accidentally pull or trip over it.
• Handle the cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining the cord at the plug and
appliance connections.
COOKING PROGRAMMES
The pilot lamp lights when the appliance is plugged into the mains. It does not mean that the oven
has reached the selected temperature.
1) HOW TO KEEP FOOD WARM
Place the food to be kept warm on the wire rack (in position 1). Turn the upper knob to “ON”. Turn
the lower knob to “KEEP WARM”. This feature is designed to keep foods warm, after they are cooked
for short periods of time without overcooking. We do not recommend keeping foods warm for
prolonged periods or using this feature to reheat frozen or cold foods.
2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR BAKING
You can bake foods in your oven, just as in your regular oven. Casseroles or baking dishes may be
placed directly on the removable wire rack. Use the convenient bake/broil tray provided with your
oven for baking such items as cookies, biscuits, rolls and uncovered casserole dishes. Place the
bake/broil tray directly on the removable wire rack (position 2).
1. Close the door.
2. Set the lower knob to the desired position.
3. Turn the upper knob to “ON”.
4. Both the bottom and top elements are on. However the primary heat comes from the bottom
element.
5. When baking is finished turn the upper knob to “OFF” and the lower knob to position "●".
NOTE : We do not recommend the use of glass covers on casseroles. Glass cooking dishes should
never be closer than one inch from the heating element.
HELPFUL BAKING HINTS
To obtain best performance from this toaster-oven-broiler:
• Do not overfill the oven. Whenever possible, place foods in center of oven.
• Avoid opening the door too frequently to prevent heat loss.
• Foil may be used to cover the baking dish or pan. Be sure the ends of foil are tucked closely
against the edge of the baking dish/pan.
