HINTS FOR COOKING CONTAINERS
• The bake/broil pan included with the Toaster Oven is suitable for cooking items such as cookies, rolls,
biscuits, nachos and hot appetizers.
• A variety of standard baking dishes, such as casseroles, any 8” or 9” round or square cake pan, a 12-cup
muffin pan, 1 and 2 quart round, square, or rectangular casserole dishes may be used for cooking many
different foods.
• Choose bakeware made of either metal or glass/ceramic without lids.
• Dark or dull pans absorb heat faster; foods will bake more rapidly and crust will brown more easily than
inshiny bake pans.
• Check package directions on the container or contact the ovenware manufacturer to determine the
container’s suitability for use in a Toaster Oven.
• Do not use oven roasting bags in this Toaster Oven, as they may come in contact with the heating elements.
HINTS FOR CONVECTION BAKE
• When using CONVECTION BAKE, lower the bake recipe temperature by 25°F to a minimum of 300°F when
baking cakes, pies, cookies, and bread.
• When baking, the shelf position used will depend on the size of the food being prepared. It is important
toplace your food as close to the center of the Toaster Oven as possible to ensure even cooking.
• Dark or dull pans absorb heat faster; foods will bake more rapidly and crust will brown more easily than
inshiny bake pans.
• Choose bakeware made of metal, ovenproof glass, and ceramic.
• Check package directions to determine if the container is suitable for use in a conventional or toaster oven.
CAUTION: Allow at least 1” air space between the top of the container and the upper heating elements.
Never use glass lids on glass or metal bakeware. If a lid is necessary, cover tightly with aluminum foil.
HINTS FOR CONVECTION ROAST
• IMPORTANT! Consult the USDA Cooking Guidelines section of this instruction manual before cooking
begins. Always test meat using an accurate cooking thermometer.
• A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should always be used to ensure desired
doneness.
• Cook to 5 to 10 degrees below desired doneness (internal temperature). Allow meat to stand
15to20minutes before serving. The temperature will continue to rise while standing.
• CONVECTION ROAST large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to
theflavorand the aroma during cooking.
• A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides natural basting.
• To speed up browning, brush lean cuts of meat, chicken and fish with oil, margarine or melted butter.
• When roasting meats with a high fat content, the bake/broil pan may fill with grease before cooking
is completed. Carefully remove the bake/broil pan assembly using oven mitts and empty. Replace for
continued roasting.
• Place meat (fat side up) or food to be cooked into a bake pan. If desired, turn over half-way through
BAKE/ROAST time.
CONVECTION BAKE/ROAST
Use BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE to bake casseroles, cakes, cookies, pies, biscuits or your favorite recipe
according to package or recipe instructions. ROAST is a term often applied when using the BAKE or
CONVECTION BAKE function to cook meats.
NOTE: Please read previous section entitled “Convection Cooking” for additional information.
CAUTION: NEVER use roasting bags or plastic containers in the Toaster Oven.
CAUTION: Do not use glass covers on baking pans. If using a glass or glass-ceramic baking container,
makesure it is at least 1 inch away from the upper heating element.
1. Make sure the crumb tray is in place in the bottom of the Toaster Oven.
2. Open the glass door. If you choose to use your own baking dish, slide the wire rack onto the center or
lowershelf position. Carefully center baking dish directly on wire rack and close the glass door.
CAUTION: Make sure the baking dish is at least 1 inch away from the upper heating element.
3. You may use the bake/broil pan alone to bake foods such as biscuits, cookies, or hot appetizers.
4. To ROAST meats or fish, place the wire rack, feet side down, into the bake/broil pan to create the bake/
broil assembly. Place meats or fish onto the bake/broil assembly. Juices and/or fat will drip into the pan
anddecrease spattering while roasting.

optimum temperature. Once the function is selected the text PRE-HEAT will appear on the screen and the
unit will begin pre-heating. After the desired temperature is achieved, 3 beeps will sound and the text will
disappear from the screen and the unit will continue to cook in the selected function.
NOTE: Press the blue CONVECTION button at any time to turn the fan OFF.
