[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Toaster Ovens and Deep Freezers

Thu Jan 12 04:20:07 UTC 2017

Hi. no, we got a brand neew one for Christmas by quazenar  . the top
knob clicks and goes from off, toast, bagel, bake, broil then warm.
nothing needed there, the next knob for temperature so we marked some
and the bottom one for how you like your toast with light ahll the way
to the left, so for us, no marking there either, so, you set how you
want your toast, push the button on the bottom right and off it goes.
it has a removable tray that pulls out in front for cleaning. I wasn't
going to mention it, as it doesn't grill, but decided to anyway. we
really like it.
