• Broiler Pan - For use in broiling and roasting meat, poultry, fish and
various other foods. ups.
• Tray Handle - Allows you to pick up the wire rack, and broiler pan when
they are hot.
1. Read all of the instructions included in this manual.
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.
WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY
OR BURNS, DO NOT
TOUCH HOT SURFACES
WHEN OVEN IS IN USE.
ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS.
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.
Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
regular features (rotisserie, 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 pan, wire rack
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 wire rack with the crumb tray beneath it (see
illustration) 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 wire rack in the lowest Support Guide.
Operation
• Set Temperature Control to 450°.
• Turn Function Control to Broil/Convection.
• Preheat the oven.

• Place the food on the Wire 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.
Operation

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

Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using a
cookie sheet placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on a
cookie sheet might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
Broiling Guide
Cooking results may vary, adjust these times to your individual
requirements. Also, check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.
