Food is overcooked or burned.	Decrease cooking temperature or time. Make sure food items are not too large and are not touching the heating elements.
Food is cooked unevenly.	Preheat the oven manually by using the Preheat function (see page 15). Make sure food items are not too closely packed into a tray, rack, or other container.
White smoke or steam is coming out of the oven.	The oven may produce some white smoke or steam during cooking. This is normal. During first use, dust from the packing process may cause white smoke. This is normal for toaster ovens and many other kitchen appliances. To eliminate any dust, see Test Run (page 10). Excess oil or fatty foods may produce white smoke. Make sure the inside of the oven is cleaned properly and isn’t greasy.
Dark smoke is coming out of the oven.	Immediately press and unplug your oven. Food is burning. Wait for smoke to clear before opening the oven door.
A thermometer shows that the oven temperature is different from the oven setting	Commonly used thermometers usually have low sensitivity and take over 10 minutes to measure the correct temperature. This will not affect cooking.
Display shows Error Code “ ”.	There is an open circuit in the temperature monitor. Contact Customer Support (see page 33).
Display shows Error Code “ ”.	There is a short circuit in the temperature monitor. Contact Customer Support (see page 33).
