This document describes the Comfee 6-Slice Toaster Oven (CFO-CC2501), a versatile kitchen appliance designed for baking, broiling, toasting, and roasting.
Function Description
The Comfee Toaster Oven is equipped with multiple functions to cater to various cooking needs. It features a TEMP. control knob for setting the desired temperature, a FUNCTION control knob to select the operating mode (BAKE, BROIL, TOAST, CONVECTION, OFF), and a TIME control knob for setting the cooking duration or selecting "STAY ON" for continuous operation. A POWER indicator light illuminates when the appliance is in use.
Operating Modes:
- BAKE: Ideal for less tender cuts of meat, soups, and stews. In this mode, only the lower heating elements are used.
- BROIL: Suitable for fish, beef, steak, vegetables, and similar items. This mode utilizes only the upper heating elements, which continuously cycle on and off to maintain a maximum temperature.
- TOAST: Designed for corn, bread, cookies, and heating food. All heating elements are used in this mode.
- CONVECTION: For toasts, steaks, baking pizza, and bread. This mode circulates hot air around the inside of the appliance using a convection fan, and all heating elements are engaged.
- OFF: Turns off the appliance.

General Operation:
- Place the appliance on a clean, flat, and heat-resistant surface.
- Insert the plug into a properly grounded wall outlet. The appliance should be operated on a separate 120V ~ 60Hz wall outlet to prevent circuit overload.
- Preheating is recommended to reduce cooking times.
- The POWER indicator turns on when the TIME and FUNCTION control knobs are set to a position other than OFF.
- A bell rings at the end of a timed cycle, and the appliance switches off.
Specific Function Usage:
- Bake Function: Place the baking rack on the middle oven rails and the baking tray on the bottom rails if needed. Set the TEMP. and FUNCTION knobs to BAKE. Preheat by setting the TIME knob. After preheat, place food and set the TIME knob to STAY ON or a specific time.
- Broil Function: Set the TEMP. knob to 450°F and the FUNCTION knob to BROIL. Preheat the appliance. Place food on the baking rack on the highest possible oven rail, ensuring it doesn't touch the upper heating elements. Set the TIME knob to STAY ON or a specific time. It is recommended to leave the door slightly ajar during broiling.
- Toast Function: Set the TEMP. knob to 450°F and the FUNCTION knob to TOAST. Place food on the baking rack on the middle oven rails (baking tray on lower rails if needed). Set the TIME knob to the desired browning level (LIGHT, MED, DARK, corresponding to about 4, 5, or 7 minutes).
- Convection Function: Set the TEMP. and FUNCTION knobs to CONVECTION. Preheat the appliance. Place food on the baking tray. Set the TIME knob to STAY ON or a specific time.

For two pizzas, place one on the baking rack on the top rails and the second on the oven rack on the bottom rails. Set TEMP. to 450°F and FUNCTION to CONVECTION. Preheat for 15 minutes. Adjust temperature after preheat according to pizza package instructions.
