	Bread can be toasted to your desired color of browning. (1-4 slices)
How to place food inside If you want to toast, place it at the center of oven rack.	Cooking note: The color of browning varies with type, size and thickness of bread. Bread containing a lot of sugar will brown darker. Set the level to the Light side. The surface of a thick slice of bread will brown a little darker. Standard cooking time: 2-3 min. * Cooking time may vary according to shade control setting.
	Frozen bread can also be toasted to your desired color of browning. (1-4 slices)
How to place food inside Remove frost from the surface of frozen bread and place it on the oven	Cooking note: The color of browning varies with the type, size and thickness of bread. In addition, the inside of bread might not heat enough in some cases. The cooking of frozen bread takes time because the toaster oven defrosts frozen bread by tuming the heater on and off repeatedly. The toaster oven performs optimal heating. It might take longer when the color of browning is set to Dark than when set to Light. When cooking bread containing a lot of sugar, set to the Light side. Standard cooking time: 4-5 min. Cooking time may vary according to shade control setting.
	Rolls can be reheated without browning. (1-4 pieces)
	Cooking note: When cooking bread containing a lot of sugar, set the level of browning to the Light side. Use the timer when warming stuffed or cooked bread such as hamburgers or the like. Standard cooking time: 2-3 min. * Cooking time may vary according to shade control setting.
	Baking pizza up to 22.5cm (9 inches) in diameter.
	Cooking note: If cooking a large pizza, the side closer to the door might not bake enough. Make sure to put it toward the far end. Standard cooking time: 12-14 min. * Cooking time may vary according to shade control setting.
	Warming fried food.
How to place food inside Place aluminum foil on the oven tray. Place cold fried food on the tray and place it inside the toaster oven.	Cooking note: The inside of chilled fries might not be heated enough. Provide additional heating. Standard cooking time: 5-7 min. * Cooking time may vary according to shade control setting.

Note:

• The heater might stay off for a few minutes.
  This is not a malfunction. In particular, when the toaster oven is used immediately after high-temperature cooking, the heater might stay off for about 3 minutes.
• If you adjust the color of browning to the light side, the cooking might end as soon as the time interval is established.

Points for cooking with timer

Cooking time

• There is no need for preheating.
• The standard time varies with the temperature, quality, quantity of food and material of the cooking tray. Adjust properly by watching how the food is heated.
  If it takes more than 25 minutes to cook food, set the temperature and timer again, checking the result from time to time.
• If you cook in succession, the food might not brown enough or the inside might not heat properly.
• It is advisable to open the door and keep it open for a while to cool down the inside of the toaster oven, before starting the cooking again.
• If the food is not sufficiently heated, use the timer to heat it further, checking the result from time to time.

* In particular, when baking cakes, cool down the inside of the toaster oven before cooking.

Cooking temperature

• If food is heated at the same temperature as used for a large oven, it might bake too much because of the difference in the interior size. Adjust the temperature properly watching how the food is heated.
• For food that has been cooked using a toaster oven without temperature control function, set the cooking temperature to 460 °F-500 °F (240 °C-260°C) and use the timer, cook and watch the result of baking.

When baking commercial frozen food

• Use the frozen food key for the toaster oven.
• Do not rely too much on the power level and refer cooking time written on the package.

When baking tall food items such as cakes

Any tall food is browned easily. When the food is browned properly, cover it with a foil before baking further.

• Cut a sheet of aluminum foil into a size a little larger than the mold and use it, because large pieces of foil make it difficult to bake the food properly.

Baking mold for cakes

• Avoid using molds made of porcelain or heat-resistant glass, or those with a metal hook.

Important

• Do not try to bake meat or fish which oozes oil without wrapping. When baking meat or fish, wrap it in a foil to prevent oil from splashing, and put it on the oven tray.
• Do not use the toaster oven for steaming. (Steam will cause malfunction of the toaster oven.)
• Do not use parchment paper or cooking sheeting other than for putting it under cake molds.
  Cut away excess parchment paper or cooking sheeting from under the cake molds. (They might catch fire when in contact with the heater.)
• Do not use paper baking molds for cake mix. (There is a danger of fire.)
• When cooking with foil, such as when baking cakes or large potatoes, use caution to prevent the foil from coming in contact with the heater. (The foil might melt away and adhere to the surface of the heater, causing malfunction of the toaster oven.)

Note

• When cooking at a low temperature 250 °F-285 °F(120 °C-140 °C), the heater will stay off for about 3 minutes. This is not a malfunction.

Maintenance

Remove the power plug and make sure the toaster oven is cold.

Wipe clean the exterior and interior of the toaster oven with a well-wrung towel.

* Do not use benzene, thinner or polishing powder; otherwise, the surface will be damaged.

• When the toaster oven is severely stained or dirty, wipe with a towel saturated with a diluted solution of neutral kitchen detergent.
• When cleaning the bottom of the interior, remove the oven rack and crumb tray.
  * Do not touch the heaters to avoid damaging them.

Crumb tray, oven tray, oven rack (See page 11 for how to remove.)

Wash them with a diluted solution of neutral kitchen detergent and sponge and dry well.

* Do not use metal brush or nylon brush. (The surfaces of the trays or gridiron might be damaged.)

* In particular, wash the crumb tray frequently.

Do not use a dirty tray; the baked may burn or might result in a lighter color of browning on the lower surface of food.
