We have a COOKS very cool looking retro pink toaster oven. Problem is not only cool looking but cool acting and it takes about 20 minutes to moderately heat a bagel. Our daughter would love this to be working for her new apartment any ideas?
Some models will use the top broiler element to help preheat the oven. Try the broiler by itself to make sure that it is working properly. A failed broiler element could increase preheat time.
