IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

❑

Read all instructions.

❑

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

❑

To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or

appliance in water or other liquid.

❑

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

❑

Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts.

❑

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return

appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair

or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of

this manual.

❑

The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance

manufacturer may cause injuries.

❑

Do not use outdoors.

❑

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

❑

Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

❑

Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot

oil or other hot liquids.

❑

To disconnect the appliance, press power button then remove plug from

wall outlet.

❑

Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

❑

Use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing of hot grease.

❑

Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven,

as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock. A fire may occur if the

toaster oven is covered or touching flammable material including curtains,

draperies, walls and the like, when in operation.

❑

Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and

touch electrical parts resulting in a risk of electric shock.

❑

Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed

of other than metal or glass.

❑

Do not store any material, other than manufacturer's recommended

accessories, in this oven when not in use.

❑

Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard,

plastic and the like.

❑

Do not cover crumb tray or any part of this oven with metal foil. This will

cause overheating of the oven.

SAvE ThESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

GROUNDED PLUG

As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will

only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of

electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to

prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric

shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service

personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to

be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled

in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available

and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should

be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over unintentionally.

Note:

If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified

personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

Product may vary slightly from what is illustrated.

BROILING TIPS

• Placing food on rack reduces calories, allows the drippings to flow into the

bake/broil pan and helps to eliminate or prevent smoking from the broiler.

• For best results, thaw frozen meat, poultry and fish before broiling.
• If frozen steaks and chops are broiled, allow 1½ to 2 times the broiling time as

required for fresh.

•  Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling.
•  Brush foods to be broiled with oil and season as desired before broiling.
•  Fish fillets and steaks are delicate and should be broiled directly on bake/broil pan

placed on the rack.

• There is no need to turn fish fillets during broiling. Carefully turn thick fish steaks

midway through broiling cycle.

• If broiler “pops” during broiling, reduce the temperature in the oven and add some

water to the bake/broil pan.

• Wash bake/broil pan and clean inside of oven after each use with non-abrasive

cleaner and hot soapy water. Too much grease accumulation will cause smoking.

TIPS WhEN USING ThE ROTISSERIE

• When cooking foods, such as chicken, use butchers’ twine to tie the wings and legs

close to the body of the bird.

• The oven accommodates up to a 5-pound chicken.
• When cooking foods with high fat content, pour about ¼ cup water into crumb tray

before beginning to cook.

• Allow drippings on crumb tray to cool completely before removing from oven.
• To test for doneness of the meat, a meat thermometer is the most accurate test.

This is an easy test that works well:

o  Press into the center of the meat with your finger.
o  Rare feels soft and yields easily to pressure.
o  medium springs back easily when pressed.
o  Well done feels firm and does not yield when pressed.

• Always allow meat to stand for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to

redistribute in the meat, so every slice will be moist and tender.
