Baking (and Reaheating) with the Countertop Oven Both the top and bottom cooking elements will cycle on and off while baking in order to maintain the desired oven temperature. Recommended Rack Positions: When first using the countertop oven, position the countertop oven rack as shown by Position C (lower slot, rack up) in the "Understanding Positions of the Oven Rack" section. Then, adjust as needed for your cooking situation. Remember to allow space for food to rise. To Bake: 1. Place the rack in a low position so that the food to be baked or heated will be in the center of the countertop oven. 2. Close door. 3. Turn the Function control knob to BAKE. 4. Turn the Temperature control knob to the right to the desired temperature. Bake according to package or recipe instructions (usually 350°F - 425°F [177°C - 218°C]). 5. Preheat the countertop oven for 5 minutes for baking (and reheating) by turning the Time control knob to the right past the 10-minute position, then moving it back to the first dot (5-minute position). After 5 minutes, the bell will sound and the countertop oven will automatically shut off. 6. Place the food in the center of the rack and close the door. 7. Turn the Time control knob to the right to the desired time. When the time has elapsed, the bell will sound and the countertop oven will automatically shut off. Turn the Time control knob to "0" (off) if food is removed before the time has elapsed. Broiling (and Top Browning) with the Countertop Oven Only the top cooking elements will heat when this oven function is selected. NOTE: Food to be broiled should be at least 1" (2.5 cm) from the cooking elements on the top of the countertop oven. For delicate foods such as fish or chicken, or for less browning, place the rack in a lower position. To Broil: 1. Place the food to be broiled on the grill with broil pan, and then close the oven door. The countertop oven does not have an open door broil feature. The door must be closed when broiling. 2. Set the Function control knob to BROIL. 3. Turn the Temperature control knob clockwise to Broil/450°. 4. Turn the Time control knob to the right to the desired time. 5. Monitor the broiling progress. 6. When broiling food on both sides, set the Time control knob for the time desired for one side. When the bell sounds, the oven will automatically shut off. Open the countertop oven door. Use a pot holder to pull the rack and pan about halfway out of the countertop oven. Turn the food, slide the rack and pan back into the countertop oven, and close the door. Turn the Time control knob to a desired time for the other side. 7. When the time elapses, a bell will sound and the countertop oven will automatically shut off. 8. If food is to be removed before the bell sounds, turn the Time control knob to "0" (off) to shut off the countertop oven. Then, remove the food. Toasting with the Countertop Oven Both the top and bottom cooking elements will heat when this function is selected. Recommended Rack Positions: Use the lower slots along countertop oven walls. Position the countertop oven rack as shown in Position C (lower slot, rack up) in the "Understanding Positions of the Oven Rack" section. Recommended Rack Positions: Use the upper slots along the countertop oven walls. Position the countertop oven rack as shown in Position B (upper slot, rack down) in the "Understanding Positions of the Oven Rack" section. Place the broil pan with grill (with food) on the countertop oven rack. To Toast: 1. For best results, place the bread to be toasted directly on the rack and toward center of the countertop oven. 2. Toast up to six slices of bread. When toasting only one or two slices of bread, center the bread in the countertop oven. 11
