2. Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the time control is in the  
“OFF” position.  
3. Wash all the accessories in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.  
4. Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven. Plug oven into  
outlet and you are ready to use your new Toaster Oven with Convection.  
5. After re-assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the  
highest temperature (450° F.) on the toast function for approximately 15  
minutes to eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping.  
This will also remove all traces of odor initially present.  
Power “On” Light - It is illuminated whenever the oven is turned on.  
Bake Tray - For toasting, baking and general cooking for  
casserole dishes and standard pans. Used also for broiler drip pan to  
prevent spattering that could result in smoke and flare ups.  
Broiler Tray - For use in broiling and roasting meat,  
poultry, fish and various other foods. ups.  
Tray Handle - Allows you to pick up the bake rack, drip pan and  
broiler rack when they are hot.  
Pizza Stone - Heats evenly, absorbs moisture and cooks without fats,  
making each dish a success.  
Please Note: Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and  
smoke (about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless.  
It is due to burning of the protective substance applied to  
the heating elements in the factory.  
WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY  
OR BURNS, DO NOT  
TOUCH HOT SURFACES  
WHEN OVEN IS IN USE.  
ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS.  
Convection Cooking  
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the  
regular features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster  
cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently  
sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in  
moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by  
air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus the normal ovens  
hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower  
temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler.  
Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food  
significantly faster than conventional ovens.  
Caution: Always use extreme care when  
removing broiler tray, bake tray  
cookie sheet, pizza stone or any  
hot container from a hot oven.  
Always use the tray handle, or  
an oven mitt when removing hot  
items from the oven.

Broiling with Convection  
Baking with Convection  
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum  
temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be  
preheated for 20 minutes at 450° before adding the food to be broiled.  
In the convection oven, it is not necessary to turn the food because the  
fan circulates the hot air around the food. The food must be placed on  
the broiling rack fitted into the drip pan to allow the circulation of air.  
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so  
preheating is not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around  
the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.  
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will  
fit in your oven are up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of  
oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic,  
cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.

Note: Position the bake rack in the lowest support guide.  
Turn Function Control to Broil/Convection.

Place the broiler rack on the drip pan.  
Place the food on the broiler rack and slide into the top rack  
support guide or middle rack support guide depending on the  
thickness of the food that you are cooking.

without touching it.

depending on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.

however it is necessary to rotate them (i.e. move the top to the bottom  
and the bottom to the top) halfway through the cooking time.

Broiling Guide

faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe  
instructions. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended  
baking time.
