Special Features
The Breville Mini Smart Oven® features Element IQ™ — a unique cooking technology that adjusts the power of the cooking elements for optimum results.
It is normal to notice the following during the cooking cycle:
- During the BROIL function, the bottom set of elements turn off while the top set is heating at full power.
- The ends of each heating element will glow more brightly than the middle of the element.
- 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 prepackaged 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.
- Select the TEMPERATURE/DARKNESS button and use the up and down arrows to either increase or decrease as needed. The DARKNESS will adjust how dark your toasted items are, either toast or bagels. 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 of 230°C.).
- Select the TIME/SLICES button and use the up and down arrows to either increase or decrease the time or slices as needed. The SLICES will adjust to allow the elements to cook 1 to 4 slices of bread or bagels evenly. The cooking time can be adjusted in one minute increments up to 1 hour, and in 5 minute increments between 1 and 2 hours.
Set Up
Assembly
Place the oven on a flat, dry surface. Ensure there is a minimum distance of 4″ (10cm) of space on both sides of the appliance. Ensure there are no items on top of the oven. Once the oven and all of the cleaned parts are dry, insert the washed Crumb Tray into the bottom of the oven, and the plug for the oven can be inserted into the outlet for use.
Getting The Oven Ready To Go
Remove the Crumb Tray, Wire Rack, and Baking Pan from the poly-foam packaging.
The Wire Rack and Baking Pan are dishwasher-safe, though we recommend washing them by hand.
Wash the Crumb Tray, Wire Rack, and Baking Pan in warm soapy water with a soft sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe the interior of the oven with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads, or metal utensils to clean any of the accessories as they may damage the porcelain enamel finish of the Baking Pan.
Before First Use
Before cooking or baking for the first time we recommend running the oven without food for 15 minutes. There may be a slight odor during this initial heating period or when grease has built up within the oven cavity. Ensure there is proper ventilation by turning on a fan or opening a window. First unpack and assemble the oven as described within the Instruction Booklet.
Please note: There is a protective display covering the LCD panel which must be removed before operating the oven. Once removed, plug in the unit. The oven will sound twice and the LCD screen will illuminate.

Care and Use
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.
NOTE: When using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes, it is recommended that the Wire Rack be in the middle or bottom location. This is to minimize the risk of the metal foil coming into contact with the top heating elements.
Temperature Conversion Button
The temperature reading on the oven is preset to Fahrenheit. Pressing the TEMPERATURE CONVERSION button allows the Fahrenheit temperature reading to be converted to Celsius. The corresponding ‘C°’ or ‘F°’ symbol is displayed on the LCD screen.
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 Fahrenheit temperature reading to Celsius, 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 wall outlet. When the oven is plugged back into the wall outlet, the temperature reading will automatically return to the preset Fahrenheit 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 before using the TOAST, BAGEL, BAKE and COOKIE functions, or during the actual cooking, and is the default setting on the PIZZA function.
A BIT MORE™
A BIT MORE™: Allows you to conveniently and quickly add time to a cooking cycle. A BIT MORE™ can be used both during the cooking cycle or immediately after the cooking cycle has finished. During the cooking cycle, it will add a small amount of time proportional to the setting in use.
For instance, during the toasting phase, A BIT MORE™ adds up to 30 seconds to the TOAST cycle, while during the ROAST cycle, A BIT MORE™ adds 10 minutes.
If the cooking cycle has finished, A BIT MORE™ acts as a start button which will both start the cooking cycle and add time. If the cooking cycle is still running, A BIT MORE™ will simply add more time. This is especially useful when nearing the end of a cooking cycle and the food needs just that little bit more time.
Function | Each press of the A BIT MORE button adds |
---|---|
TOAST | 30 seconds |
BAGEL | 30 seconds |
BAKE | 5 minutes |
ROAST | 10 minutes |
BROIL | 2 minutes |
PIZZA | 5 minutes |
COOKIES | 2 minutes |
REHEAT | 5 minutes |
NOTE: A BIT MORE™ can be pressed when the oven is cold (i.e. not immediately after a cooking cycle) and the oven will commence cooking, however, the BAKE, ROAST, COOKIE, PIZZA functions will not utilize the usual ‘preheating’ phase when operated this way. If the oven is cold, the best performance is achieved by using the START/CANCEL button. A BIT MORE™ is best utilized either during the cooking cycle or immediately after.
Standby Mode
When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet, the oven alert will sound twice and the LCD screen will illuminate blue for 10 minutes before entering STANDBY mode. When in STANDBY mode, the LCD screen will cease to illuminate, however three dash marks will be visible.
To re-activate the oven out of standby mode, press the START/CANCEL button on the control panel, turn the function dial or press any button. The LCD screen will re-illuminate. Press the START/CANCEL button to activate the oven.
The oven is ON (preheating and cooking) when the oven alert sounds, the START/CANCEL button surround is illuminated red and the LCD is illuminated orange. The oven is OFF when the START/CANCEL button is pressed a second time, the button surround no longer illuminates red and the LCD is illuminated blue.
Care
Your Breville Mini Smart Oven® is made of the highest quality materials and was carefully designed and engineered to let you enjoy your baked goods for years to come.
However, as with any machine, it needs your care in order to operate as it is intended to. Please follow our care tips below.
Routine Maintenance
NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads, or metal utensils on any of the interior or exterior surfaces of the oven, including the Crumb Tray. Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads, or metal utensils to clean any of the accessories as they may damage the porcelain enamel finish of the Baking Pan and Broil Rack.
Cleaning the interior
The walls on the inside of the oven feature a nonstick coating for easy cleaning. To clean any spattering that may occur while cooking, wipe the walls with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning. Avoid touching the quartz heating elements.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN CLEANING THE QUARTZ HEATING ELEMENTS. ALLOW THE OVEN TO COOL COMPLETELY, THEN GENTLY RUB A SOFT, DAMP SPONGE OR CLOTH ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE HEATING ELEMENT. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF CLEANSER OR CLEANING AGENT.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet and turning the oven ON.
Cleaning the outer body and door
Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the oven surface.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet and turning the oven ON.
Cleaning the Crumb Tray
After each use, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe the Tray with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Dry thoroughly.
To remove baked-on grease, soak the Crumb Tray in warm soapy water, then wash with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Always ensure that you reinsert the Crumb Tray into the oven after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a wall outlet and turning the oven ON.
Cleaning the Wire Rack, Broil Rack, and Baking Pan
Wash all accessories in warm soapy water with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. For stubborn, baked-on grease, soak in warm soapy water then wipe with a soft sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The Wire Rack and Baking Pan are also dishwasher-safe.
Cooking Functions
Bagel Function
The BAGEL function crisps the insides of your cut bagel while only lightly toasting the outside. This function is also ideal for toasting crumpets or thick sliced specialty breads, which require one side to be toasted more than the other.
NOTE: If you like your bagel halves equally crisp on both the top and bottom, we recommend using the TOAST function to toast your cut bagel.
Toast Function
The TOAST function browns and crisps the outside of your bread while keeping the inside soft and moist. This function is also ideal for English muffins and frozen waffles.
Reheat Function
The REHEAT function is ideal for reheating leftovers without browning.
Bake Function
The BAKE function cooks food evenly throughout. This function is ideal for baking cakes, muffins, brownies, and pastries. The BAKE function is also ideal for cooking prepackaged frozen meals including lasagna and pot pies.
NOTE: The following bake-ware will fit into the oven:
- 7 1/2″ X 11″ Baking pan with no handles
- 9″ square baking pan
- 6 cup muffin pan
- Up to 11″ pie plate

NOTE: It may be necessary to lightly grease or line the enamel Baking Pan with baking paper to prevent cookies from sticking.
Pizza Function
The PIZZA function melts and browns cheese and toppings while crisping the pizza crust.
Roast Function
The ROAST function is ideal for cooking a variety of meats and poultry that are tender and juicy on the inside and roasted to perfection on the outside.
Roasting Time Table
NOTE: We recommend limiting the weight of meats and poultry to be roasted to 4.5 lbs (2kg). However, the actual maximum weight will vary depending on the type, cut, shape, and size of the meat.
Type | Cut | Roasting time per 1 lb (500g) |
---|---|---|
Beef | Rib Eye, Round, or Rib Roast | Whole |
Pork | Loin (bone in/out) | 35 minutes |
Lamb | Leg (bone in/out) | 30 minutes |
Chicken | Whole | 30 minutes |
NOTE: When roasting, the Breville enamel Broil Rack may be inserted into Breville enamel baking pan. When assembled together, the Broil Rack is designed to drain grease and fats away from meats for healthier cooking. The Baking Pan collects these pan drippings and helps prevent spattering.
NOTE: Caution should be exercised when using pans and dishes constructed of materials other than metal. If using ceramic or glass pans or dishes it is important that they are oven-safe to prevent cracking. For questions regarding the use of oven safe and specialty bake-ware in compact ovens, please contact the bake-ware manufacturer directly.
NOTE: Caution should be exercised when using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes. Be sure that the metal foil is fitted securely as close contact with the oven’s heating elements can cause overheating and risk of fire. When using metal foil to cover accessories, pans, and dishes, it is recommended that the Wire Rack be in the middle or bottom location.
NOTE: Caution should be exercised when using lids in the oven, as pressure buildup in a covered pan or dish may cause hot ingredients to expel or the dish to crack.

If the error message continues, please contact Breville Consumer Services at (866)-273-8455 or [email protected] |
E04 | The LCD screen will display the ‘E04’ error if the room temperature is below the required minimum. Unplug the oven and relocate it to a warmer area. |
The following items come included with the Mini Smart Oven®: the crumb tray (BOV450XL/34), the wire rack (BOV450XL/56), and the 10″ x 10″ baking pan (BOV650XL/87). You can also purchase the following as accessories to your oven: the broiling rack (BOV650XL/88) and the pizza pan (BOV450PP11).
Please note, the baking pan and broiling rack for use with the BOV450XL Mini Smart Oven® are the baking pan and broiling rack used with the BOV650XL Compact Smart Oven®. These two pans are 10″ x 10″ pans and will fit both ovens.
There can be several circumstances around the oven having no power as well as different reasons why that is happening. First, please determine if the oven lost power while in operation or did not simply not turn on the next time it was needed. This will help narrow down what is could be causing the issue. Next, unplug the oven and allow it to sit for 1 or 2 hours, cooling completely internally and externally. Once that time is complete, plug the oven in again and check if the power comes back on. If the power is still not coming on, try another outlet. Please know, the oven draws about 15 amps while in operation and if the circuit that the oven is plugged in to can not handle that, it could trip the breaker. If the oven is still not powering on, despite letting it cool down completely and trying different outlets, please contact us for assistance.
