Baking (and Reaheating) with the
Countertop Oven
Both the top and bottom cooking elements
will cycle on and off while baking in order to
maintain the desired oven temperature.
Recommended Rack Positions:
When first using the countertop oven,
position the countertop oven rack as shown
by Position C (lower slot, rack up) in the
"Understanding Positions of the Oven Rack"
section. Then, adjust as needed for your
cooking situation. Remember to allow space
for food to rise.
To Bake:
1. Place the rack in a low position so that
the food to be baked or heated will be in
the center of the countertop oven.
2. Close door.
3. Turn the Function control knob to BAKE.
4. Turn the Temperature control knob to
the right to the desired temperature.
Bake according to package or recipe
instructions (usually 350°F – 425°F
[177°C – 218°C]).
5. Preheat the countertop oven for
5 minutes for baking (and reheating) by
turning the Time control knob to the
right past the 10-minute position, then
moving it back to the first dot (5-minute
position). After 5 minutes, the bell will
sound and the countertop oven will
automatically shut off.
6. Place the food in the center of the rack
and close the door.
7. Turn the Time control knob to the right
to the desired time. When the time has
elapsed, the bell will sound and the
countertop oven will automatically shut
off. Turn the Time control knob to "0"
(off) if food is removed before the time
has elapsed.
Broiling (and Top Browning) with
the Countertop Oven
Only the top cooking elements will heat
when this oven function is selected.
Recommended Rack Positions:
Use the upper slots along the countertop
oven walls. Position the countertop oven
rack as shown in Position B (upper slot, rack
down) in the "Understanding Positions of
the Oven Rack" section. Place the broil pan
with grill (with food) on the countertop oven
rack.
NOTE: Food to be broiled should be at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the cooking elements on
the top of the countertop oven. For delicate
foods such as fish or chicken, or for less
browning, place the rack in a lower position.
To Broil:
1. Place the food to be broiled on the grill
with broil pan, and then close the oven
door. The countertop oven does not
have an open door broil feature. The
door must be closed when broiling.
2. Set the Function control knob to BROIL.
3. Turn the Temperature control knob
clockwise to Broil/450°.
4. Turn the Time control knob to the right
to the desired time.
5. Monitor the broiling progress.
6. When broiling food on both sides, set
the Time control knob for the time
desired for one side. When the bell
sounds, the oven will automatically shut
off. Open the countertop oven door. Use
a pot holder to pull the rack and pan
about halfway out of the countertop
oven. Turn the food, slide the rack and
pan back into the countertop oven, and
close the door. Turn the Time control
knob to a desired time for the other side.
7. When the time elapses, a bell will sound
and the countertop oven will
automatically shut off.
8. If food is to be removed before the bell
sounds, turn the Time control knob to
"0" (off) to shut off the countertop oven.
Then, remove the food.
Toasting with the Countertop
Both the top and bottom cooking elements
will heat when this function is selected.
Recommended Rack Positions:
Use the lower slots along countertop oven
walls. Position the countertop oven rack as
shown in Position C (lower slot, rack up) in
the "Understanding Positions of the Oven
Rack" section.
To Toast:
1. For best results, place the bread to be
toasted directly on the rack and toward
center of the countertop oven.
2. Toast up to six slices of bread. When
toasting only one or two slices of bread,
center the bread in the countertop oven.
