SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only. 
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an elec-
trician replace the outlet. 
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. 
If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the appliance.This appliance is equipped with a fully tempered safety glass door.
The tempered glass is four times stronger than ordinary glass and
more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break, however it
breaks into pieces with no sharp edges. Care must be taken to avoid
scratching door surface or nicking edges. If the door has a scratch or
nick, call our toll-free customer assistance number.
When heavy foods are on the oven rack, do not pull the oven rack out
more than halfway. To baste or check for doneness, remove food from
the oven and place on heat-resistant countertop surface or trivet.
Do not place bake pan directly on heat shields that protect lower
heating elements.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not operate another 
high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with the appliance. 15. A fire may occur if the toaster oven is covered, touching or near
flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the
like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the 
appliance when in operation.
16. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers 
constructed of other than metal or glass.
17. Do not store any materials, other than appliance manufacturer
recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
18. Do not place any of the following 
materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
19. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil.
This will cause overheating of the oven.
20. To turn the oven off, turn temperature knob to OFF position. To stop
a toast cycle, push the CANCEL button or lift up on the bread lifter.21. Do not place eyes or face in close proximity with tempered safety
glass door in the event that the safety glass breaks.
22. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
23. Before using this appliance, move it 2 to 4 inches away from wall
or any object on the countertop. Remove any object that may
have been placed on top of the appliance. Do not use on surfaces
where heat may cause a problem.

Toastation
™is intended to prepare foods most commonly cooked
in a toaster oven: appetizers, pizza, bagels, chicken nuggets, fries
and toaster pastries. It was designed with these foods in mind.
Taller items (potatoes, muffins) and meats for broiling should not
be cooked or reheated in the Toastation
™.
• Most foods should be bakedaccording to package or recipe 
directions. Watch carefully and adjust time or temperature if needed.
• To reheat pizza,never place box in oven. Cook at 450ºF (230ºC)
for 3 minutes or until ready.
• For crisp crust pizza,cook frozen pizza directly on oven rack.• For soft crust pizza,cook on baking pan.
• For a homemade crust pizza(or any soft dough), cook pizza on
baking pan.
• To toast regular toaster pastry or frozen pastrytoast directly
on oven rack. If pastry has a glaze or frosting, use baking pan.
• When toasting, condensationmay form on oven door. A toaster
oven is enclosed so moisture is slow to escape. After use, 
wipe door to dry and make clean-up easier.
• Remove food immediatelyor heat remaining in toaster oven
will continue to bake and dry out your food.
Oven ModeAlthough this manual illustrates the 4-slice model, the
warnings and instructions also apply to the 2-slice model.NOTE:Wash baking pan before using.

Troubleshooting PROBLEM
Oven will not heat.
Moisture forms on 
inside of oven door 
when toasting.
An odor and smoke comes 
from oven.
Indicator Light stays on.
Some foods burn and 
some are not done.PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Check to make sure electrical outlet is working and the oven is plugged in. Turn Temperature
Knob to 350°F (180ºC). The Indicator Light should now be lit.
• Make sure Mode Selector is set to OVEN.
• This is normal when toasting in a toaster oven. Moisture is slower to escape from toaster oven
than from a toaster. The amount of moisture will differ between fresh bread, bagels, and frozen
pastries.
•Smoke and odor is normal during the first use of most heating appliances. This will not be present
after the initial heating period.
•Turn Temperature Control Knob to OFF. If light stays on, unplug unit and call our toll-free 
customer service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment. Do not continue to use your toaster oven.
•The oven indicator will be illuminated during TOASTING if the Oven Temperature Knob is NOT
set to the OFF position.
• Adjust oven temperature or cooking time for best results with your recipes.
