Points for cooking with a timer

Cooking time

• There is no need for preheating.
• The standard time varies with the temperature, quality, quantity of food, and material of the cooking tray. Adjust properly by watching how the food is heated.
• If it takes more than 25 minutes to cook food, set the temperature and timer again, checking the result from time to time.
• If you cook in succession, the food might not brown enough or the inside might not heat properly.
• It is advisable to open the door and keep it open for a while to cool down the inside of the toaster oven, before starting the cooking again.
• If the food is not sufficiently heated, use the timer to heat it further, checking the result from time to time.
• In particular, when baking cakes, cool down the inside of the toaster oven before cooking.

Cooking temperature

• If food is heated at the same temperature as used for a large oven, it might bake too much because
  of the difference in the interior size. Adjust the temperature properly watching how the food is heated.
• For food that has been cooked using a toaster oven without a temperature control function, set the cooking temperature to 460 °F—500 °F (240 °C-260°C) and use the timer, cook and watch the result of baking.

When baking commercially frozen food

• Use the frozen food key for the toaster oven.
• Do not rely too much on the power level and refer cooking time written on the package.

When baking tall food items such as cakes

• Any tall food is browned easily. When the food is browned properly, cover it with a foil before baking further.
• Cut a sheet of aluminum foil into a size a little larger than the mold and use it, because large pieces of foil make it difficult to bake the food properly.

Baking mold for cakes

• Avoid using molds made of porcelain or heat-resistant glass, or those with a metal hook.

Important

• Do not try to bake meat or fish which oozes oil without wrapping. When baking meat or fish, wrap it in foil to prevent oil from splashing, and put it on the oven tray.
• Do not use the toaster oven for steaming. (Steam will cause malfunction of the toaster oven.)
• Do not use parchment paper or cooking sheeting other than for putting it under cake molds. Cut away excess parchment paper or cooking sheeting from under the cake molds. (They might catch fire when in contact with the heater.)
• Do not use paper baking molds for cake mix. (There is a danger of fire.)
• When cooking with foil, such as when baking cakes or large potatoes, use caution to prevent the
  foil from coming in contact with the heater. (The foil might melt away and adhere to the surface of the heater, causing malfunction of the toaster oven.)

Cooking guide

Maintenance: Remove the power plug and make sure the toaster oven is cold.

Wipe clean the exterior and interior of the toaster oven with a well-wrung towel.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or polishing powder, otherwise, the surface will be damaged.
• When the toaster oven is severely stained or dirty, wipe with a towel saturated with a diluted solution of neutral kitchen detergent.
• When cleaning the bottom of the interior, remove the oven rack and crumb tray.
• Do not touch the heaters to avoid damaging them.

Crumb tray, oven tray, oven rack (See page 11 for how to remove.)

Wash them with a diluted solution of neutral kitchen detergent and sponge and dry well.

• * Do not use a metal brush or nylon brush. (The surfaces of the trays or gridiron might be damaged.)
• * In particular, wash the crumb tray frequently. Do not use a dirty tray; the baked may bum or might result in a lighter color of browning on the lower surface of the food.
