The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to  
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer  
cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may  
be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to  
or greater than the rating of the toaster oven. Care must be taken to  
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter-  
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally  
tripped over.

High Position  
Low Position  
Baking and Toasting  
During the bake and toast  
functions, do not put a baking  
pan (or any other accessory  
or container) directly on the  
lower heating element.  
Toasting Tips  
To toast bagels, place oven rack in the low position and  
place bagels cut side facing down. This will toast the cut  
side more than the outside of the bagel.  
To toast English muffins, place oven rack in the low position  
and place English muffins with the split side facing down.  
Set Toast Color Dial to the dark setting.  
To toast frozen pastry or waffles, place oven rack in the high  
position. Select a light color and toast directly on the oven  
rack. If pastry has a glaze of frosting, use baking pan.  
To toast regular toaster pastries, place oven rack in the  
high position. Set Toast Color Dial to Light and toast  
directly on the oven rack. If the pastry has a glaze or frosting,  
place the pastries on the baking pan.  
• When toasting, condensation may form on the oven door.  
A toaster oven is enclosed so the moisture is slow to escape.  
• When the Toast Lever pops up at the end of the cycle,  
remove toast immediately or the heat remaining in the  
toaster oven will continue to toast and dry out your toast.  
• The number of slices of bread and the bread freshness will  
affect toast color. Adjust the Toast Color Dial to achieve the  
desired color.

Broiling Tips!  
3. Let preheat for five minutes before  
beginning to bake.

times. Use the low position for foods needing longer  
broiling times.

from outlet.  
Baking Tips!  
• The toaster oven operates very much like a regular oven.  
When first using, check to determine if time or temperature  
should be adjusted.  
• Always allow at least one inch between the food and  
the heating element.  
To reduce the risk of fire, do not use oven cooking bags in  
the toaster oven.
