A NOTE ON COOKING TIMES
The Breville Compact Smart Oven™ features Element IQ™ - a unique cooking technology that adjusts the power of the cooking elements for optimum results.
Broil
High temperature top heat, and low temperature bottom heat: melts and browns.
Toast
Searing top and bottom heat: seals and crisps.
Bake
Even heating: cooks right through.
It is normal to notice the following occur during the cooking cycle:
- It is normal that during the broil function, the bottom set of elements turn off while the top set is heating at full power.
- It is normal that the ends of each heating element will glow more brightly than the middle of the element.
- It is normal that the elements are heating even if they are not lighting up.
This cooking technology allows foods to cook more evenly and quickly, significantly reducing cooking times. The oven’s preset cooking temperatures and times, as well as the cooking temperature and time directions on pre-packaged foods, may need to be changed depending on the recipe, the amount of food and your personal taste.
We recommend experimenting with the temperature and time settings to produce the desired results. The cooking temperature and time can be adjusted before or during the cooking cycle. Pressing the center of the TEMP/TIME dial changes the display on the LCD screen from TEMPERATURE to TIME and vice versa; while rotating the dial increases or decreases the TEMPERATURE or TIME.
NOTE: The TEMP/TIME dial also functions as the Darkness and Slice selection control on the TOAST and BAGEL functions.
To change the cooking temperature, press the center of the TEMP/TIME dial until the LCD screen displays the temperature screen.
- Turn the dial to the left to reduce the temperature, or to the right to increase the temperature.
- The cooking temperature can be adjusted 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).
To change the cooking time, press the center of the TEMP/TIME dial until the LCD screen displays the time screen.
- Turn the dial to the left to reduce the cooking time, or to the right to increase the cooking time.
- The cooking time can be adjusted in one minute increments up to 1 hour, and in 5 minute increments between 1 and 2 hours.
A NOTE ON RACK HEIGHT POSITIONS
Cooking results are significantly affected by the position of the wire rack as this determines how close the food is to the heating elements. We highly recommend following the rack height position for each function as printed on the right hand side of the oven door’s glass window. However, these are a guide only. Certain foods may require a different rack height position depending on the recipe, the amount and size of the food and your personal taste.
- Top rack height position: BROIL and BAGEL functions.
- Middle rack height position: TOAST, PIZZA and COOKIE functions.
- Bottom rack height position: BAKE, ROAST, and REHEAT functions.
NOTE: 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.
For optimum cooking results
- The wire rack should always be inserted into the rack height position with the spokes facing upwards.
- Food should be positioned on the center of the wire rack, Broil rack or baking tray to let maximum airflow reach the food.
A NOTE ON STANDBY MODE
When the oven is plugged into a power outlet, the oven alert will sound twice and the LCD screen will illuminate for 10 minutes before entering STANDBY mode. When in STANDBY mode, the LCD screen will cease to illuminate, however the word ‘STANDBY’ 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. The LCD screen will re-illuminate. Press the START/CANCEL button to activate the oven.

The corresponding ‘F˚’ or ‘C˚’ symbol is displayed on the LCD screen. The TEMPERATURE CONVERSION button may be selected when using the BAKE, ROAST, BROIL, PIZZA, COOKIE and REHEAT functions.
NOTE: The TEMPERATURE CONVERSION button can be used as an electronic temperature conversion tool, particularly convenient for international recipes.
NOTE: If you have changed the default Celsius temperature reading to Fahrenheit, the setting will remain in the memory of the oven until the TEMPERATURE CONVERSION button is pressed a second time or the oven is unplugged from the power outlet. When the oven is plugged back into the power outlet, the temperature reading will automatically return to the preset Celsius setting.
Frozen Foods Button
The FROZEN FOODS button adds the recommended, additional time required to defrost and then toast frozen bread or bagels and cook frozen pizza or cookie dough. The FROZEN FOODS button may be selected when using the TOAST, BAGEL, BAKE and COOKIE functions, and is the default setting on the PIZZA function. On the TOAST, BAGEL, BAKE and COOKIE functions, the FROZEN FOODS button can be selected before or during the cycle. The setting can be de-selected by pressing the FROZEN FOODS button a second time. The frozen symbol is displayed on the LCD screen whenever this setting is selected.

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION button.
The PIZZA function melts and browns cheese and toppings, while crisping the pizza crust.
- Insert the wire rack into the middle rack height position. The wire rack should be positioned with the spokes facing upwards. Close the oven door.
NOTE: We recommend using the middle rack height position during the PIZZA function. However this is a guide only. The position of the rack may vary depending on the type and size of the pizza. Some fresh pizza’s may be more suited to the bottom rack height position. We recommend experimenting with the rack height position, as well as the temperature and time settings to produce the desired results.
NOTE: 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. The optional 12” (30cm) non-stick pizza pan accessory is available. 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. 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 37 if cooking fresh pizza).
The pizza cooking temperature and time can be adjusted before or during the cooking cycle.
a) The preset cooking temperature of 425°F is displayed as the default on the LCD screen. Turn the TEMP/TIME dial to adjust the cooking 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).

NOTE: The cooking technology in The Compact Smart Oven™ allows foods to cook more evenly and quickly, significantly reducing cooking times. The oven’s preset cooking temperatures and times, as well as the cooking temperature and time directions on pre-packaged foods, may need to be changed depending on the recipe, the amount of food and your personal taste. We recommend experimenting with the temperature and time settings to produce the desired results.
NOTE: Due to the wide variety of pizzas available, you will need to consider whether you are cooking a fresh or frozen pizza or a thin crust or deep dish, and adjust the cooking time to produce the ideal result. For example, frozen pizzas may need additional cooking time. Thick crust pizzas may also require slightly more cooking time.
NOTE: Your customized PIZZA 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 PIZZA function will automatically return to the preset temperature of 425°F (220°C), preset time of ‘:15 MINS’ and preset FROZEN FOODS setting.- Press the START/CANCEL button to activate this setting.
