Functions

Air Fry

This mode is ideal for browning and crisping the exterior of foods. The air fry mode can produce a taste and texture similar to deep frying without the need to submerge the food in oil.

Bake

This mode is ideal for cooking foods that generally lack structure before the cooking process, such as cakes, cookies,muffins,pastries,ples, lasagnas, and casseroles.
Food will be cooked thoroughly and evenly, which also makes this mode suitable for packaged frozen meals.

Toast

This mode is ideal for browning slices of bread, bagels,
English muffins, and frozen waffles. Each slice will be browned evenly on both sides without the need for flipping  the food.

Broil

This mode is ideal for quickly searing meats (e.g. steaks or fish ) crisping vegetable (e.g potatoes), or browning the  top surface of foods (e.g. casseroles).

Roast

This mode is ideal for cooking foods that are generally solid before the cooking process, including a wide variety of meats and vegetables. Foods will be tender and moist on the inside, while developing a crispy texture on the exterior.

Keep Warm

This mode is useful for keeping freshly cooked meals warm while waiting for guests or preparing the rest of the meal.

Convection Roast

This mode is similar to the ROAST mode, but activates the convection fan to circulate hot air around the food. This causes the food to cook faster than normal ROAST mode, but the oven temperature may need to be reduced for some recipes.

Using the Toaster Oven

Selecting the Cooking Mode

To choose the cooking mode, rotate the Mode knob until the indicator on the knob points to the desired cooking mode.

Selecting the Oven Temperature

When using the Keep Warm (“Warm”) mode, the oven temperature should be set to “Warm”.

Starting the Toaster Oven

To start the selected cooking mode, rotate the Time knob to the desired cooking time. The oven will immediately begin to heat and the oven operation light will illuminate.

To manually cool the oven after use. turn the Mode knob to Fry’ and turn the temp knob to the ‘or position. Then rotate the Tune knob to about 5 minutes to activate the fan. The fan will automatically shut off when the alarm sounds.

Recommended Oven Rack Positions by Cooking Mode

–	Upper Rack	Middle Rack			Lower Rack
Cooking Mode
Air Fry
Bake
Toast
Broil
Roast
Warm
Convection
NOTE: The air fry basket must be placed on top of the wire rack at all times. DO NOT place air fry basket in the baking pan. NOTE: When baking greasy or oily foods, it is recommended to use the baking tray in the lower rack position. This will allow for easier clean up.

It is generally recommended to use the provided air fry basket in the middle rack position for air frying. Foods may cook faster than expected if the oven is already hot when food is placed in the oven. If foods are browning or drying
out too quickly, try using the lower rack position or setting a lower oven temperature.

To avoid the need to stir or flip food during cooking, arrange the food in a single layer in the basket. Overcrowding the basket may negatively impact food texture and prolong cook times.

Care and Cleaning

1. Be sure the oven is turned off, unplugged, and cool before beginning cleaning.
2. Clean the glass door with a sponge, soft cloth, or nylon pad and sudsy water. Do not use a spray cleaner.
3. Remove slide rack and bake pan; wash in soapy water
   To remove stubborn spots, use a polyester or nylon pad.
   NOTE: DO NOT put the air fry basket, baking pan, baking rack, or crumb tray in the dishwasher.
   Accessories are not dishwasher safe.
4. Remove crumb tray using the handle and dispose of crumbs. Wipe tray with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before placing back into the oven.
5. Wipe the outside of the oven with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.
6. Do not attempt to clean the heating elements. Any food that comes into contact with the elements will burn off on its own.
