OPERATING

TOAST FUNCTION

Elements
Top and bottom heating elements cycle on and off to regulate the correct temperature.

Rack Position
Middle rack height position.

Optional Settings
FROZEN FOODS button.

The TOAST function browns and crisps the outside of your bread while keeping the inside soft and moist. This function is also ideal for English muffins and frozen waffles.

  1. Insert the wire rack into the middle rack height position. The wire rack should be positioned with the spokes facing upwards.
  2. If toasting 1-2 slices, center the slices on the wire rack. If toasting 3-4 slices, evenly space them with 1-2 slices at the front of the wire rack and 1-2 slices at the back of the rack.
  3. Close the oven door.
  4. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator reaches the TOAST function. The left figure on the LCD screen indicates the preset browning or ‘Darkness’ setting ‘4’, while the right figure on the LCD screen indicates the preset number of slices ‘2’.
  5. The browning setting and number of slices can be adjusted before or during the toasting cycle.
    a) To change the browning setting, press the DARKNESS button until the LCD screen displays a flashing ‘DARKNESS’. Press the down arrow to reduce the browning setting, or press the up arrow to increase the browning setting.

    NOTE: The browning settings range from ‘1’ (lightest) to ‘7’ (darkest).
    NOTE: Default temperatures and times shown in the illustrations in this section may vary from those displayed on your oven.
    As a general guide:

    When using the TOAST function for the first time, we recommend toasting on the preset browning setting ‘4’ so you can adjust the browning setting to your preference - considering the type, thickness and freshness of the bread.
    For example, raisin toast, white lighttextured breads or thinly sliced bread may require a lighter setting, while heavier textured rye, whole wheat or fresh breads may require a darker setting.
    b) To change the number of slices, press the SLICES button until the LCD screen displays a flashing ‘SLICES’.
    Press the down arrow to reduce the number of slices, or press the up arrow to increase the number of slices. The number of slices range from ‘1’ to ‘4’.

    NOTE: Your customized TOAST browning setting and number of slices will remain in the memory of the oven until you change them or unplug the oven from the power outlet. When the oven is plugged back into the power outlet, the TOAST function will automatically return to the preset browning setting ‘4’ and preset number of slices ‘2’.
  6. Press the START/CANCEL button to activate this setting. The button surround will illuminate red, the oven alert will sound and the LCD will illuminate orange.
    The timer will be displayed and begin to count down. The time can be adjusted during the toasting cycle by pressing the A BIT MORE™ button or pressing the up or down arrows.

    NOTE: Element IQ™ will automatically adjust the toasting time depending on the heat already present inside the oven. For example, if the oven is already warm after one cycle of toasting, the toasting time for the second cycle will be different.
    NOTE: During the toasting cycle, condensation may form on the oven door and steam may be emitted from the top of the door gap. This is normal. Condensation and steam occur as a result of the moisture content of the bread. Freshly baked and frozen breads generally produce more condensation and more steam.
  7. At the end of the toasting cycle, the oven alert will sound three times, the START/CANCEL button surround will no longer illuminate red and the LCD will be illuminated blue.
  8. If the toast cycle has finished and you would prefer your toast to be toasted slightly more, press the A BIT MORE™ button for an additional 30 seconds.
    If the oven has not finished the cycle, additional time will be added to the existing time remaining. If the oven has finished the cycle, pressing the A BIT MORE™ button will start the toast cycle and count down from 30 seconds. Each subsequent selection of the A BIT MORE™ button will add additional toasting time, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.

NOTE: For safety reasons the oven is limited to a maximum of 10 minutes continuous toasting. Time that has already elapsed during the cycle is included. If the oven does not allow you to input extra time it is because the maximum continuous time has been reached. Allow the oven to cool before restarting the cycle.

IMPORTANT: The outer surface of the oven, including the oven door, is hot during and just after operation. Always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts when inserting, removing or handling items from the oven.

    If cooking a frozen pizza, ensure to remove all packaging, including cardboard, plastic, paper, or other flammable materials before placing the pizza in the oven.
    Breville recommends using a dark colored, non-stick pizza pan when cooking a pizza. Light colored pans reflect heat and may not effectively crisp the pizza crust.
    For a crisper crust, pizzas can be cooked directly on the wire rack. However care should be taken as melted cheese and other ingredients may build-up on the heating elements and create a potential fire risk. For even results we recommend carefully rotating the pizza 90° half way through the cooking cycle.
  2. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator reaches the PIZZA function. The LCD screen indicates the preset PIZZA temperature of ‘425°F’. The preset FROZEN FOODS setting will also be displayed (see Page 38 if cooking fresh pizza).

The COOKIE function is ideal for baking homemade or commercially prepared cookies and other baked treats. Ready-to-bake crescent rolls, cinnamon rolls, biscuits and strudels are ideally baked using this function.

  1. Insert the wire rack into the middle rack height position. The wire rack should be positioned with the spokes facing upwards.
  2. Close the oven door.
  3. Turn the FUNCTION dial until the indicator reaches the COOKIE function. The LCD screen indicates the preset temperature of ‘350°F’.
  4. The baking temperature and time can be adjusted before or during the baking cycle.
    a) The preset baking temperature of 350˚F is displayed as the default on the LCD screen. Press the down or up arrows to adjust the baking temperature in 10°F increments, from 120°F to a maximum of 450°F (or in the Celsius mode, 5°C increments, from 50°C to a maximum 230°C).
    b) To select the baking time, press the TIME button until the LCD screen displays the preset baking time of : ‘10 MINS’.

    Press the down and up arrows to adjust the cooking time in one minute increments up to a maximum of 55 minutes.
    NOTE:
    Due to the wide variety of cookie types, you will need to consider whether you’re baking fresh, refrigerated or frozen cookie dough, and adjust the baking time to produce the ideal result.
    For example, frozen cookie dough may need additional baking time. The amount of dough per cookie or the thickness of the cookie many also vary the cooking time.
    NOTE: Your customized COOKIE temperature and time settings will remain in the memory of the oven until you change them or unplug the oven from the power outlet. When the oven is plugged back into the power outlet, the COOKIE function will automatically return to the preset temperature of 350°F (175°C), and preset time of ‘:10 MINS’.
  5. Press the START/CANCEL button to activate this setting. The button surround will illuminate red, the oven alert will sound and the LCD will illuminate orange.
  6. The LCD screen will indicate a blinking ‘PREHEATING’. Once the preheating cycle has completed, the temperature alert will sound.
  7. Place food on the Breville enamel baking pan or in an oven-proof pan, then place on the center of the wire rack so air flows around the back, as well as the front of the food.

    NOTE: It may be necessary to lightly grease or line the enamel baking pan with baking paper to prevent cookies from sticking.
  8. After the PREHEATING alert has sounded, the timer will automatically begin to count down in one minute increments. The temperature and time can be adjusted during the baking cycle by pressing either the down or up arrows or pushing the A BIT MORE™ button. Toggle between Temperature and Time by pressing either the TEMP or TIME button.
  9. At the end of the cooking cycle, the oven alert will sound three times, the START/CANCEL button will cease to illuminate and the LCD will illuminate blue.
    IMPORTANT: The outer surface of the oven, including the oven door, is hot during and after operation. Always use protective hot pads or insulated oven mitts when inserting, removing or handling items from the oven.
  10. If the cookie cycle has finished and you would prefer your food to be cooked slightly more, press the A BIT MORE™ button for an additional 2 minutes. If the oven has not finished the cycle, 2 minutes will be added to the existing time remaining. If the oven has finished the cycle, pressing the A BIT MORE™ button will start cookie cycle and count down from 2 minutes. Each subsequent selection of the A BIT MORE™ button will add 2 minutes to the baking time, up to a maximum of 55 minutes.
    NOTE: A BIT MORE™ can be pushed when the oven is cold (i.e. not immediately after a cooking cycle) and the oven will commence cooking, however the COOKIE function will not utilize the usual ‘preheating’ phase when operated this way. If the oven is cold, the best performance is achieved by using the START/CANCEL button. A BIT MORE™ is best utilized either during the cooking cycle or immediately after.
    NOTE: For safety reasons the oven is limited to a maximum of 55 minutes of continuous baking. Time that has already elapsed during the cycle is included. If the oven does not allow you to input extra time it is because the maximum continuous time has been reached. Allow the oven to cool before restarting the cycle.
  11. The baking cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the START/CANCEL button. This will cancel the cycle, the button surround illumination will go out and the LCD will illuminate blue.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads or metal utensils to clean any of the accessories as they may damage the porcelain enamel finish of the baking pan.

Cleaning the outer body and door

  1. Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
  2. To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the oven surface.
  3. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven ON.

IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the body, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.

Cleaning the interior

  1. The walls on the inside of the oven feature a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. To clean any spattering that may occur, wipe the walls with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning. Avoid touching the quartz heating elements.
    IMPORTANT: Use extreme caution when cleaning the quartz heating elements. Allow the oven to cool completely, then gently rub a soft, damp sponge or cloth along the length of the heating element.
    Do not use any type of cleanser or cleaning agent. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven ON.

HELPFUL TIPS

  • For questions regarding the use of oven safe and specialty bakeware in compact ovens, please contact the bakeware manufacturer directly.
  • Caution should be exercised when using pans and dishes constructed of materials other than metal. If using ceramic or glass pans or dishes it is important that they are oven safe to prevent cracking.
  • Citric acid, found in foods such a orange, lemon and lime juice, may damage the porcelain enamel finish of the baking pan. When cooking foods with high citric acid content, we strongly recommend lining the enamel surface with foil or baking paper to extend the life of these accessories.
  • Caution should be exercised when using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes. Be sure that the metal foil is fitted securely as close contact with the oven’s heating elements can cause overheating and risk of fire.
  • When using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes, it is recommended that the wire rack be in the middle or bottom rack height position. This is to minimize the risk of the metal foil coming into contact with the top heating elements.
  • Caution should be exercised when using lids in the oven, as pressure build up in a covered pan or dish may cause hot ingredients to expel or the dish to crack.
  • Due to the high temperatures of the oven, Breville does not recommend placing the oven in enclosed areas. Placing the oven in an enclosed area, such as a cabinet or wall recess may cause overheating of the appliance, surface damage and wall discoloration due to radiated heat and steam from around oven door.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

EASY SOLUTION

Oven will not switch “ON”

  • Check that the power plug is securely inserted into the power outlet
  • Insert the power plug into an independent power outlet
  • Insert the power plug into a different outlet
  • Reset the household circuit breaker if necessary

I would like to restore the oven’s default settings

  • The oven will remember the last setting used for each function unless you remove the power plug from the power outlet.
  • To restore the oven’s default settings for each function, remove the power plug from the power outlet. Wait 5 seconds, then plug back in.

The LCD display light has gone out

  • The oven goes into STANDBY mode if not used for 10 minutes. When in STANDBY mode, the LCD screen will cease to illuminate, however three dash marks will be visible.
  • To re-activate the oven out of STANDBY mode, press the START/CANCEL button on the control panel, or turn any dial. TheLCD screen will re-illuminate.

The pizza does not cook evenly

  • Some large pizzas may brown unevenly in compact ovens. Open the oven door half way through the cooking time and turn the pizza 90 degrees for more even browning.

The pizza crust does not crisp

  • Breville recommends using a dark colored, non-stick pizza pan when cooking a pizza. Light colored pans reflect heat and maynot effectively crisp the pizza crust.
  • For a crisper crust, pizzas can be cooked directly on the wire rack. However care should be taken as melted cheese and othering redients may build-up on the heating elements and create a potential fire risk.

I cannot select the FROZEN FOODS button

  • The FROZEN FOODS button is only selectable during the TOAST, BAGEL, BAKE, PIZZA and COOKIE functions.

Steam is coming out from the top of the oven door

  • This is normal. The door gap allows steam from high moisture foods such as frozen bread to be released.

Water is dripping onto counter top from under door

  • This is normal. The condensation created from high moisture content foods will run down the inside of the door and can drip onto the counter.

The temperature reading on the LCD screen doesn’t match the temperature measured inside the oven.

  • To ensure the measurements are standardized, the oven temperatures have been calibrated in the TOAST position (center of the middle rack with no tray in place). Re-check the temperature in this position, ensuring not to open the oven door for 10 minutes as heat will escape each time the door is opened.

The LCD screen displays ‘E01’

  • The LCD screen will display ‘E01’ when there is a non-resettable issue with the appliance. Should this occur, immediately remove the power cord from the wall outlet and call the Breville Customer Service Center (1-866-BREVILLE).

The LCD screen Displays ‘E02’

  • The LCD screen will display ‘E02’ when there is a non-resettable issue with the appliance. Should this occur, immediately remove the power cord from the wall outlet and call the Breville Customer Service Center (1-866-BREVILLE).

The LCD screen Displays ‘E03’

  • The LCD screen will display ‘E03’ if the oven temperature is above the set maximum limit. Remove the plug from the wall outlet, allow the oven to cool for 15 minutes, then plug back in.
  • Call Breville Customer Service (1-866-BREVILLE) if the ‘E03’ message continues.

The LCD screen Displays ‘E04’

  • The LCD screen will display ‘E04’ if the room temperature is below the set minimum. Unplug the oven and relocate to to a warmer area.
