BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove all packing material and any stickers. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Leave enough space (150 mm) around the unit to allow heat to flow without damage to adjacent cabinets and walls. Your oven may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.

GENERAL OPERATION

TO TURN ON:

1. For cooking functions, use the Temperature/Cooking function control to select a temperature or cooking mode (toast, airfry, grill). Next, select a cooking time using Timer 1, or select the ‘stay on’ setting.
2. For toasting, set the Temperature/Cooking function control to the ‘toast’ setting. Next, select the toast shade using Timer 2.

TO TURN OFF:

• Rotate the timers to the ‘O ’ position and the Temperature/Cooking function control to the ‘min’ position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This appliance gets hot. When in use, always use oven gloves or pot holders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.
• You must set the timer or use the ‘stay on’ setting for the toaster oven to function.
• Be sure the food or the baking dish does not come within 40 mm of the top heating elements.
• Fit the bake pan/drip tray as required below, for greasy or fatty foods. Food should not extend beyond the edges of the tray to avoid drippings from falling onto the heating elements, where it may cause smoke and be difficult to clean.

TOASTING

1. Set the Temperature/Cooking function control to the toast position.
2. Open the door and insert the wire shelf in the bottom slot.
3. Place items to be toasted directly onto the wire shelf and close the door.
4. Turn Timer 2 clockwise to the middle and then clockwise or counterclockwise to set the desired toast shade .
5. The light will come on and remain on until the toasting cycle is complete. NOTE: Watch the toast to ensure the desired level of browning is obtained. The Timer 2 control can be adjusted to extend or reduce the toasting time, or moved to the off (O) position at any time.
6. When the toast cycle is complete, there will be an audible signal. The light will turn off.
7. Using oven gloves, open the door and slide the shelf outward, just far enough to remove the food.
8. Unplug the appliance when not in use.

NOTE: The Timer 2 control must be set for the toaster oven to operate.

GRILLING

• When grilling, preheat for 5 minutes. For optimal results, use the top shelf position. Be sure the food or baking dish does not come within 40 mm of the top heating element.
• Set the temperature selector knob to grill.
• Set the Timer 1 control to 20, then turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired cooking time. Select Stay On to cook longer than 60 minutes or to control cooking time manually. The light will come on and remain on until the cooking is complete. NOTE: You must set Timer 1 to a time or to the stay on setting for the oven to function.
• Once the oven is preheated, open the door and insert the food. Close the door.
• If you have set a time, there will be an audible signal once cooking is complete. The oven will turn off, and the light will go out. If you are not using the timer (stay on), you must manually turn the appliance off once cooking is finished to your satisfaction.
• Using oven gloves, open the door and slide the wire shelf outward, just far enough to remove the food.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use.

AIR FRY

Air Fry technology uses high-intensity hot air, which browns and crisps the food with little or no oil. Use the suggested cooking times shown in the table below or follow the recommended cooking guidelines on the product. Remember that air frying is different from conventional oven cooking, so you may need to adjust the cooking time to achieve the best results.

NOTE: It is not necessary to preheat the oven for air frying. NOTE: Arrange the food in a single layer on the mesh rack for the best results.

1. Place the food onto the air fry mesh rack.
2. Open the door and slide the air fry mesh rack into the middle or lower position.
3. Set the Temperature/Cooking function control to the airfry position.
4. Set the Timer 1 control to 20, then turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired cooking time. Select Stay On to cook longer than 60 minutes or to control cooking time manually. The light will come on and remain on until the cooking is complete. NOTE: You must set Timer 1 to a time or to the stay on setting for the oven to function.
5. If you have set a time, there will be an audible signal once cooking is complete. The oven will turn off, and the light will go out. If you are not using the timer (stay on), you must manually turn the appliance off once cooking is finished to your satisfaction.
6. Using oven gloves, open the door and slide the rack outward, just far enough to remove the food. NOTE: Clean out the crumb tray frequently when using the air fry setting.
7. Unplug the appliance when not in use.

SUGGESTED AIRFRY COOKING TIMES

The following times should be used purely as a guide. Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more. Cook poultry, pork, burgers, etc., until the juices run clear.

The light will come on and remain on until the cooking is complete. NOTE: You must set Timer 1 to a time or to the stay on setting for the oven to function.
