HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT YOUR OVEN
• When the oven is turned on, the indicator light will come on and remain illuminated until the
oven is turned off manually or automatically when the timer has been used.
• When selecting baking time for a particular product or recipe, include preheat time.
• This oven has a 60 minute timer. If baking something that will take
longer than 60 minutes, we suggest you use the STAY on feature
(E).
• Metal, ovenproof glass and ceramic bakeware without lids can be
used in the oven. If foods require covering, use aluminum foil.
• Be sure the top of the container or food being baked or broiled
is at least 1½ inches away from the upper heating elements.
• Turn all controls to oFF before inserting or removing plug from

electrical outlet.
• do not put any container directly on the lower heating element.
• To obtain the best performance from this toaster oven:
º do not overfill the oven;
º To avoid heat loss do not open the door too frequently;
º When using foil to cover a food, tuck the edges of the foil against the sides of the baking
dish or pan.
