IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Remove and safely discard any packing materials and promotional labels before
using the oven for the first time.
To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug of this appliance.
Do not place the oven near the edge of a bench or table during operation. Ensure
The surface is level, clean, and free from water, flour, and other debris.
Always operate the oven on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains, or other flammable materials.
A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touches flammable material, including
curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
Please do not place the oven on or near a hot gas or an electric burner, or where it could touch another heated oven.
Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the oven, power cord, or power supply plug in water or any other liquid.
When operating the oven, keep a minimum distance of 4” (10cm) of space on both
sides of the appliance. This will allow for adequate air circulation and help prevent
the possibility of wall discoloration due to radiated heat.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Appliance surfaces, including the door and outer surface of the oven, are hot during and after operation. To prevent burns or personal injury, always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mittens, or use handles and knobs where available, when inserting, removing or handling items from the oven. Alternatively, allow the oven to cool down before handling.
Extreme caution must be used when removing pans, dishes, and accessories, such as the included baking pan contain hot oil or other hot liquids.
The glass of the oven door has been specially treated to make it stronger, more
durable, and safer than ordinary glass; however, it is not unbreakable. If struck
extremely hard, it may break or weaken, and could, at a later time, shatter into many small pieces without apparent cause.
Do not leave the door standing open for extended periods when the oven is
turned ON.
The top of the oven is very hot during and after operation. Do not store any item on
top of the oven when in operation. The only exceptions are described on Page 47 – one layer of ceramic plates for warming, and any accessory provided by Breville for use in the ribbed section on top of the oven. If the ribbed section is used as a warming tray during operation, protective hot pads or insulated oven mittens should be used when removing heated items. Alternatively, allow the oven to cool down before handling.
The oven is very hot during and after operation. Do not allow electrical power cords other than the one supplied with the oven to come in contact with the oven.
Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper, or other flammable materials in the oven.

A NOTE ON COOKING TIMES: The Breville Mini Smart Oven™ features Element IQ™ – a unique cooking technology that regulates the heating elements for optimum results.

Broil: High temperature top heat, and low temperature bottom heat: melts and browns.

Toast: Searing top and bottom heat: seals and crisps.

Bake: Even heating: cooks right through.

If the cooking cycle has finished, A BIT MORE ™ acts as a start button, which will both start the cooking cycle and add time. If the cooking cycle is still running, A BIT MORE™ will simply add more time. This is especially useful when nearing the end of a cooking cycle and the food needs just that little bit more time.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE MINI SMART OVEN™

TOAST FUNCTION

Elements: Top and bottom heating elements cycle on and off to regulate the correct temperature.
Rack Position: Middle rack height position.
Optional Settings: FROZEN FOODS button.
The TOAST function browns and crisps the outside of your bread while keeping the
inside soft and moist. This function is also ideal for English muffins and frozen waffles.

Insert the wire rack into the middle rack height position. The wire rack should be positioned with the spokes facing upwards.
If toasting 1-2 slices, center the slices on the wire rack. If toasting 3-4 slices, evenly space them with 1-2 slices at the front of the wire rack and 1-2 slices at the back of the rack.
Close the oven door.
Turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator reaches the TOAST function. The left figure on the LCD screen indicates the preset browning or ‘Darkness’ setting ‘4’, while the right figure on the LCD screen indicates the preset number of slices ‘2’.
The Browning setting and number of slices can be adjusted before or during the toasting cycle.

If the oven has not finished the cycle, additional time will be added to the existing time remaining. If the oven has finished the cycle, pressing the A BIT MORE™ button will start the toast cycle and count down from 30 seconds. Each subsequent selection of the A BIT MORE™ button will add additional toasting time, up to a
maximum of 10 minutes.

USING THE PLATE WARMING TRAY

The top of the oven is very hot during and after operation. Do not store any item on top
of the oven when in operation. The only exception is one layer of ceramic plates for warming.

CARE & CLEANING YOUR BREVILLE MINI SMART OVEN™

Cleaning the outer body and door

Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad, as these will scratch the oven surface.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven ON.

Cleaning the interior

The walls on the inside of the oven feature a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. To clean any spattering that may occur, wipe the walls with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning. Avoid touching the quartz heating elements.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven ON.

Cleaning the crumb tray

After each use, allow the oven to cool and slide out the crumb tray and discard
crumbs. Wipe the tray with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser
may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Dry thoroughly.
To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in warm soapy water, then wash with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Always ensure to re-insert the crumb tray into the oven after cleaning and before inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven ON.

Cleaning the wire rack and baking pan

Wash all accessories in warm, soapy water with a soft sponge or soft plastic
scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
To extend the life of your accessories, we do not recommend that they be placed in the dishwasher.

Storage

Ensure the oven is turned OFF by pressing the START/CANCEL button on the control panel. The oven is OFF when the button surround illumination is no longer red. Then remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Allow the oven and all accessories to cool completely.
Ensure the oven and all accessories are clean and dry.
Ensure the crumb tray is inserted into the oven and that the baking pan is resting on the wire rack in the middle rack height position.
Ensure the door is closed.
Store the oven in an upright position, standing level on its support legs. Do not store anything on top or inside the oven except the accessories.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR BREVILLE MINI SMART OVEN™

For questions regarding the use of oven-safe and specialty bakeware in compact ovens, please contact the bakeware manufacturer directly.
Caution should be exercised when using pans and dishes constructed of materials
other than metal. If using ceramic or glass pans or dishes, it is important that they are oven safe to prevent cracking.
Citric acid, found in foods such a orange, lemon, and lime juice, may damage the porcelain enamel finish of the baking pan. When cooking foods with high citric acid content, we strongly recommend lining the enamel surface with foil or baking paper to extend the life of these accessories.
Caution should be exercised when using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes. Be sure that the metal foil is fitted securely, as close contact with the oven’s heating elements can cause overheating and a risk of fire.
When using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes, it is recommended that the wire rack be in the middle or bottom rack height position. This is to minimize the risk of the metal foil coming into contact with the top heating elements.
Caution should be exercised when using lids in the oven, as pressure builds up in a covered pan or dish may cause hot ingredients to expel or the dish to crack.
Due to the high temperatures of the oven, Breville does not recommend placing the oven in enclosed areas. Placing the oven in an enclosed area, such as a cabinet or wall recess, may cause overheating of the appliance, surface damage, and wall discoloration due to radiated heat and steam from around the oven door.
