I just hit TOAST and START. This toaster oven does everything a regular oven can, but on a small scale. BUT most importantly, I didn't have to turn the oven to toast, set a timer, set a temp and then press start just to get a piece of toast to cook like most other toaster ovens out there.
It bakes great, the autoshut off is a great feature; the bell goes off and the oven turns off. and nothing has ever gone wrong. For 1 or 2 people its a good substitute for the regular size ovens, Great product. Have had this oven for about 4 years now. It survived 2 moves.
i don't know if that will fix the problem. this oven seemed good until i tried the convection mode. i am traveling for the month and will call Krups when i get home. i also don't know if anyone has had this problem as well. it rattles loudly when i put it on convection. the seller gave me the phone number to Krups.
The infra-red heating is very cool - has no pre-heating time at all. Not a big deal but it's a bit sticky.
I looked on-line (including Amazon reviews) and it looks like the cost of repair is about $50, and often breaks again. Major - the hinge on the left side of the door totally broke on me.
I've had this toaster oven for less than 2 years. Minor - the rubber on the buttons is really soft and squishy and started to fade very early.
I'm thinking about dumping it and getting a Breville. Overall, it's done a great job.
I like the digital screen, and the construction is mostly solid.One minor and one huge quibble.
The only way to stop it at that point is to unplug. I can get it to work properly only if I prop open the door slightly to dump the steam. Seriously dangerous - steam has a tendency to build up in the oven while baking or toasting which then affects the digital controls. So far, once it cools it's okay but it's a repeatable problem. Very, very dangerous and a serious design flaw. The controls fritz out and the oven stays on. full strength.
