ALL OBJECTS BEFORE YOU TURN ON YOUR OVEN. THE EXTERIOR WALLS GET VERY HOT WHEN IN USE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. GENERAL GUIDELINES Conventional Baking: Conventional baking is used as you would normally use your large kitchen oven. Convection/Bake: The convection/bake function can be used for all the same functions as conventional bake or roast, but will cook faster and more efficiently. With convection baking the key is the airflow, so it is important to use the right cooking pan and place it in the oven as directed in the rack position in each recipe. Broiling: Broiling can be used for beef, chicken, pork, fish and more. Broiling can also be used to top-brown casseroles and gratins. Caution: Aluminum foil is not recommended for covering the broiling pan. Foil is extremely dangerous when broiling fatty foods. Grease will accumulate and may catch fire. We don't recommend the use of foil, but if foil is used to cover drip tray, be sure foil is tucked neatly around the pan and does not touch the walls or heating rods. Never cover crumb tray. Toasting: Always have the rack in rack position B, as indicated in the diagram on page 11 for even toasting. Always center your item/items in the middle of the rack. WARNING: Placing the rack in the bottom position or in the top position with the rack turned upward while toasting may result in a fire. Refer to rack position diagram for proper use. Turning off the toaster oven broiler: The Start/ Stop button, when pushed the first time, will start the oven. When pushed the second time, during oven operation, the Start/Stop button will turn the oven off. You will know the oven is off when the LED light turns off. USE AND CARE Unwind the power cord. Check that the crumb tray is in place and that there is nothing in the oven. Plug power cord into the wall outlet. PIZZA/BAKE To bake, press the Bake button. The LED light above the Bake button will turn on. The oven  temperature is preset for 150°F. Press the temp button and the Up arrow to increase the temperature or Down arrow to decrease to your desired temperature. Note that the temperature will increase and decrease in increments of 25ºF. The temperature will read out on the clock display. Press the Start/Stop button to start the oven. When oven reaches the selected temperature, the words "Temp. Ready" will be displayed on the clock display, and the oven will beep 5 times to let you know it is ready to bake. The built-in timer can be used with this function. See timer instructions below. NOTE: AS A SAFETY MEASURE, THIS OVEN WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AFTER FOUR HOURS OF CONTINUOUS USE. NEVERTHELESS, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN WHEN NOT IN USE AND NEVER LEAVE THE OVEN ON WHEN UNATTENDED. PIZZA When baking pizza, please follow these guidelines: • If baking fresh pizza, use the baking tray/pan provided with this toaster oven. • Sprinkle the pan with cornmeal or lightly spray to make removing the pizza dough easier. • Bake in rack position B. • If baking a frozen pizza, you can place the pizza directly on the rack in position B. Convection Bake Convection baking/roasting uses a fan to circulate heated air around food as it cooks. For best results use cookie sheets with no sides and baking dishes and roasting pans with very low sides to let maximum airflow reach food. For the same reason, do not cover foods while cooking. Most baking recipes recommend reducing temperatures by 25 degrees when using the convection feature. Always check 10 minutes before suggested cooking time. If food might drip, place the baking tray on the rack below the rack that the food is on. Tray will catch drips and more airflow will reach food. When using the baking tray in the bottom rack position, center it so air flows in back, as well as front of the oven. To convection bake, press the Conv Bake button. The LED light above the Conv Bake button will turn on. The oven temperature is preset for 150ºF. Press the Temp button and the Up arrow to increase the temperature or Down arrow to decrease to your desired temperature.
