Are guesstimates for Toast Mode OK?
Experience will teach you how much time
to use for toasting various kinds of bread.
Frozen, dark, or whole-grain breads require
a longer time. Rye breads are the most
susceptible to over-toasting and spot
charring. Fresh, soft, or white breads
require a shorter time.
For foods that melt
When cooking small pieces of foods
or foods that wilt melt, use the multipurpose
pan. This will keep food from falling onto the
cooking elements.
To minimize cleanup
Spray the multipurpose pan with nonstick
cooking spray for easier cleanup when
cooking wet or sticky foods. Wash pan
thoroughly after each use to avoid buildup
of cooking spray.
Size limits for food and
cooking containers
For best results, food and/or oven-safe
containers (see "Food Cooking Tips"
section) must fit into the Countertop Oven
without touching the cooking elements or
inside walls of the Countertop Oven. The
door must close completely. This allows air
to circulate around the food, helping ensure
consistent cooking temperature.
For extended use
When cooking for a long time at high
temperatures, you may detect a slight
odor from the Countertop Oven insulation
materials. This is normal.
• Check food cooking progress through the
clear, tempered glass door window. Your
Countertop Oven will perform better and
be more energy efficient if you open the
door less often.
• If top of food item browns too fast, lower
the rack position or reduce temperature.
[f bottom of food item browns too fast,
raise rack position or reduce temperature.
Please remember that adding the
convection option could reduce the
needed cooking time by up to 30%.
• Remove all plastic and/or paper wrappers
from foods before cooking.
" Use only loosely covered oven-safe
containers. Airtight containers may cause
food to boil over or splatter.
• Although more energy efficient and faster
than traditional ovens, countertop oven
surfaces can become hot during cooking.
Touch only the door handle and knobs
during oven operation.
• Do not place items on top or near
Countertop Oven while in use. Only use
the included cooling rack to gently cool
food on the top of this oven.
• Replace cardboard, glass, or plastic lids
with aluminum foil for use in the
Countertop Oven.

with the Countertop Oven is suitable
for items such as cookies, rolls, biscuits,

a 6-cup (I .5 L) muffin pan, small baking
sheets, and I and 2 qt (0.95 mL and 1.9 L)
round, square, and rectangular casserole
dishes, may be used. The door must
close completely.
* Choose bakeware made of metal, ovensafe
glass, ceramic, or silicone.
• Use lowest oven rack position when using
deep, oven-safe glass or ceramic containers
and allow at least I" (2.5 cm) clearance
between the top of the container and the
upper cooking elements.
• Do not use glass lids. [f a cover is desired,
use a loosely fitted sheet of aluminum foil
shiny side up or down.
• Many convenience foods are packaged in
nonmetallic containers only suitable for
use in microwave ovens. Check package
directions to determine whether the
container is suitable for use in a regular
oven.
