OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• This device is not intended to heat oil or other liquids.
• Do not use sharp utensils to clean oven door glass as scratching may weaken it and cause shattering.
• Do not touch heating elements as serious burns may result.
• Set cooking containers, pans, trays and racks on a hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set directly on the counter, table or other surface.
• Failure to clean after each use may result in fire hazard.
• Unplug oven and close door if fire is observed.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.
• Do not attempt to repair this product yourself.

ACCESSORIES

Broil Grid Handle Drip Pan Oven Rack Crumb Tray Pizza

Oven Rack: Your oven includes a chrome plated oven rack. The edges of the rack slide into the guides on both sides of the oven. Adjust the height of the rack by choosing the appropriate guide.

Drip Pan and Broil Grid: The broil grid allows fat to drip into the drip pan, channeling grease away from food, helping to prevent spattering. The broil grid must always used with the drip pan. Never use the broil grid by itself as grease may drip onto a heating element, creating a fire hazard. The drip pan may be used by itself for baking or reheating items.

Handle: A metal handle is provided that can be used for inserting and removing the rack or drip pan. Do not attempt to use the handle to remove the rack or pan with food on it.

Pizza Disc: This oven is equipped with a 12" pizza disc to allow for even baking of pizzas. Do not bake any pizza larger than 12" in this oven.

Crumb Tray: Allows for easy disposal of crumbs.

*If foods brown too dark or too quickly, turn off the top unit or remove foods from the oven.

Before first use: Remove any stickers or labels from heating surfaces. Make sure the oven is free from any paper or objects not intended for use in the oven. Clean the interior, oven rack, pans, trays and other accessories as described in the "Cleaning Your Countertop Oven" section of this manual.

Basic Use:

1. Plug the cord into 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY.
2. Place the oven rack, trays, and pans into the desired position.
3. Place the food in a proper cooking container on the oven rack.
4. Select the desired temperature.
5. Set the timer to the desired time or "STAY ON" position. Allow the oven to preheat for 10 minutes. Note: When setting the timer for less than 15 minutes, you must turn the timer past the 15 minute mark and then back to the number of minutes you wish to time. This must be done to activate timer and turn the appliance on.
6. Select the desired heat selector position: "Top Only", "Top & Bottom", "Bottom Only".
7. Set the convection setting to "ON" or "OFF". The convection feature is recommended for most baking to aid in even browning and faster results.
8. When cooking is complete, set the heat selector to "OFF". Use hot pads or oven mitts to open the door and remove the cooking container. Unplug from the electrical outlet. Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

CAUTION: Use extreme caution when opening the door and keep your hands and face away because very hot air or steam may be released. Do not rest cooking containers on glass door as damage could occur.

Baking Pizzas:

1. Place the oven rack into the middle rack support guide.
2. Set the temperature to 350^ F ( 176^ C).

3. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes. Place a pizza on the pizza disc and slide the disc onto the oven rack making sure it is as far back as it will go inside the oven. Bake to the desired doneness.

4. A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

5. Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

CLEANING YOUR COUNTERTOP OVEN

CAUTION: Before cleaning any part of the oven, always set the timer control and heat selector to "OFF", unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and allow the oven to cool completely.

To keep your countertop oven clean, wipe away food spills, spatters and crumbs after each use.

1. The oven rack, drip pan, broil grid and crumb tray may be washed in warm, soapy water with a dishcloth, rinsed and dried or in an automatic dishwasher. Do not use any metal or abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on these parts as damage to the finish may occur.
2. Wipe the exterior of the oven and glass door with a soft, damp cloth and dry. Do not use any type of scouring pad or cleaner on the exterior surfaces or the glass door as scratching will occur. If glass is scratched, it can weaken and shatter.
3. Wipe the interior of the oven with a damp cloth, wipe clean and dry. Do not use any metal or abrasive scouring pads, cleaners or oven cleaner on the inside of the oven, as damage will occur. Be careful when wiping around the heating elements to prevent damage.
