Convection Cooking
Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.
Before Using Your Convection Toaster Oven
1. Read all of the instructions included in this manual.
2. Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the time control is in the
“OFF” position.
3. Wash all the accessories in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
4. Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven. Plug oven into
outlet and you are ready to use your new Toaster Oven with Convection.
5. After re-assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the
highest temperature (450°F.) on the toast function for approximately 15
minutes to eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping.
This will also remove all traces of odor initially present.
Please Note:
Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and
smoke (about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless.
It is due to burning of the protective substance applied to
the heating elements in the factory.

•
Convection Fan
- The convection fan works automatically on Broil, Bake
and Toast settings.
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
regular features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster
cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently
sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in
moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by
air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus the normal ovens
hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower
temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler.
Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food
significantly faster than conventional ovens.
