and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
17. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers
constructed of other than metal or glass.
18. Do not store any cardboard, paper, plastic or other flammable items
inside the oven. Store only the accessories provided inside the oven.

This will cause overheating of the oven.
20. To turn the oven off, rotate the TIMER DIAL to the OFF position.
21. Use extreme caution when removing pan or disposing of hot grease.
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or
oven in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated
surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this
product.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may
be used with care. However, the marked electrical rating should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the Toaster Oven Broiler. The
extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
he other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
14. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the Toaster
Oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
15. A fire may occur if the Toaster Oven is covered or touching
flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, or the like,
when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance
when in operation.

a full-size oven in a countertop appliance – it toasts, bakes and broils.

USEFUL TIPS
1. Condensation will appear on the GLASS DOOR for some foods and then
disappear. This is normal.
2. Cook food immediately after defrosting.
B. For long time broiling, rotate the TIMER DIAL counter-clockwise to the
STAY ON setting. The broiling will continue until the TIMER DIAL is
manually turned to the off position and the bell will sound.
3. Frozen foods and thick meats will take longer to cook.
4. Avoid opening the GLASS DOOR too frequently to prevent heat loss.
In this cycle, only the upper heating element operates.
5. When toasting frozen bread or more than one fresh slice, the toast
preference should be at a darker setting than if you were toasting one
regular slice.
6. When broiling, smoke will likely appear. Removing excess fat prior to
broiling can reduce this. Always use the BAKE PAN.
NOTE: Always monitor the food at this setting to ensure that you are not
over cooking.
We suggest using the timer as food can burn quickly at this setting.
When broiling, turn the food over for even cooking. Food should not be
placed directly on the WIRE OVEN RACK.
IMPORTANT:
For top browning simply broil as long as desired.
Do not pre-heat.
Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the heating elements.
When setting the timer for less than 5 minutes, always rotate the timer past 5
minutes and then rotate back to your chosen time. This will ensure a safe and
accurate time.
