SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk  
of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware  
stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an  
extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also  
the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at  
least 13A, 1625 W, and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will  
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on  
by children or tripped over accidentally.  
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade  
is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of  
electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only  
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If  
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to  
defeat this safety feature.

Getting To Know  
Your Toaster-Oven-Broiler  
Your new Toastmaster toaster-oven-broiler has the versatility to bake,  
broil, defrost, toast, top brown and keep foods warm. The adjustable  
thermostat allows you to prepare recipes according to package or  
recipe directions. The Power Light will be on any time the unit is  
operating. Both upper and lower heating elements will be on when  
toasting, baking, defrosting, top browning and keeping foods warm. Only  
the upper elements will be on when broiling.  
CAUTION: APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT DURING AND  
AFTER USE.  
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE, INSULATED OVEN  
MITTS ON HANDS WHEN TOUCHING HOT OVEN OR HOT  
DISHES AND FOOD OR WHEN INSERTING OR REMOVING  
RACK, PAN OR BAKING DISH.  
Ovenware manufacturers do not recommend using see-through glass  
baking containers or lids in this oven. Glass-ceramic baking containers  
may be used. Do not use oven roasting bags in this oven, as they may  
come in contact with the heating elements.  
Bake/Broil Pan, Toast Rack  
And Broil Insert  
For best results use pan to bake, defrost, top brown, keep warm and  
to minimize clean-up due to spills.  
For toasting, place bread directly on rack.  
When broiling, both the bake/broil pan and the broil insert rack  
must be used.  
Timer  
The TIMER control dial also acts as the oven’s ON and OFF switch.  
Turn the timer clockwise to select the appropriate cooking time up to  
2 hours. When timer is complete, a signal will sound and the unit will  
turn off automatically. If cooking for less than 10 minutes, using the  
timer is not recommended.  
5.  
 
If you do not wish to use the timer feature, turn the dial to STAY ON  
to turn the oven on and watch food for doneness. Turn dial to OFF  
position when cooking is complete.  
Wire Rack  
The wire rack must be used for all cooking functions. It may be inserted  
in either the upper or lower rack position as shown in Figure 1.  
The wire rack may also be inverted for two additional positions  
(see Figure 3). Each section of instructions suggest a rack specific  
position. However, the rack may be adjusted to accommodate the  
different thickness of foods.

Hints For Broil

and fat to drip into tray and decreases spattering while broiling.  
Do not place aluminum foil on top of broil insert; this traps grease  
and can cause a fire.  
Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to reduce curling and  
smoke.  
Always thaw meats before broiling.  
Remove grease from tray and wash after each use.
