Temperature Control Function Control Timer Control Bake/Drip Pan Crumb Tray Oven Rack

Oven Rack: Your oven includes a chrome plated oven rack. This must be placed in the oven with the extended side towards the back of the oven.

Bake/Drip Pan: The bake/drip pan may be used for baking or reheating foods or to catch drippings.

Crumb Tray: Allows for easy disposal of crumbs.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Accessory parts may be contained within the packaging material.

• 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, crumb tray, and bake/drip pan as described in the "Cleaning Your Countertop Oven" section of this manual.
• Ensure clean, dry crumb tray is in position before operating the countertop oven.
• Select a location for your oven that is level, in an open area with at least 6" clearance from walls, curtains, or cabinets.
• Before using for the first time, turn the temperature control to 450^ F and set timer control for 5 - 10 minutes. (See Step 6 in “Basic Use” instructions for how to set timer control.) This will eliminate any manufacturing oils.

USING YOUR CONVECTION COUNTERTOP OVEN

Basic Use:

1. Place countertop oven on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edges.
2. Plug the cord in to a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY. Ensure that the cord is not touching any part of the oven before and during operation.
3. Insert the crumb tray into the bottom of the countertop oven, under the heating elements. Place the oven rack and/or bake/drip pan in to the desired position. Note: Do not use aluminum foil to line the crumb tray, rack, or bake/drip pan in your countertop oven as it could cause arcing or overheating.
4. Set the function control to the desired setting.
5. Set the temperature control to the desired cooking temperature.
6. Set the timer control and allow the oven to preheat for 4 - 8 minutes. When setting the timer control for less than 10 minutes, turn it past the 10 minute mark, then back to the number of minutes you wish to time. This must be done to activate timer and turn the appliance on. If desired, turn timer control to “⏻” (stay on) for “Stay On” feature. In “Stay On,” there is no timer countdown. Please carefully monitor foods. Note: The “TOAST” function requires no preheating.
7. After the oven has preheated, place the food in the oven, onto the oven rack. Use the appropriate cooking container if required. Set the timer control to the desired cooking time.
8. When the time has elapsed, a bell will sound and the oven will turn off automatically. Heating can also be turned off manually by turning the timer, temperature, or function control to "○" (off). Using hot pads or oven mitts, open the door and remove the food container. Unplug from the electrical outlet. Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

CAUTION: “💡” (stay on) keeps the oven on. Always turn all controls to “💡(off) and unplug the oven after use. Use extreme caution when opening the door. Keep your hands and face away as very hot air or steam may be released when the door is opened. Never set anything on the glass door, as damage could occur.

NOTE: Follow the package or recipe directions for baking times and temperatures when baking pizza, appetizers, cookies, cakes, etc. Because your countertop oven is smaller than a conventional oven, it may heat up faster and cook in a shorter time period. Be sure to monitor the food closely to prevent burning. Also, if making multiple batches, you may need to reduce cook times for subsequent batches after the initial batch is done. For easy cleanup, position the bake/drip pan in the bottom rack support guide to catch any spillover.

English - 4

Bake or Convection Function: ,

Convection baking tends to bake more quickly than standard baking, as there is movement of the hot air around your foods. This generally means setting a shorter cook time on “CONVECTION” when baking.

CAUTION: Do not use roasting bags, plastic, or glass containers in the oven as damage could occur.

1. Position the oven rack in to the bottom rack support guide.
2. Place item to be baked (in proper cooking container) onto the oven rack.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired temperature.

4. Set the function control to "BAKE" or "CONVECTION". Preheat the oven by setting the timer control to desired preheat time. (See Step 6 in "Basic Use" instructions for how to set timer control.) We recommend 4 - 8 minutes.

5. Once preheated, turn the timer control to desired cook time. If baking is complete before the timer sounds, turn the timer control counter-clockwise to "○" (off). When the time has elapsed, a bell will sound and the oven will turn off. Use hot pads or oven mitts to open the door and remove the cooking container.

CAUTION: “ ⏻ ” (stay on) keeps the oven on. Always turn all controls to “ ⏻(off) and unplug the oven after use. Use extreme caution when opening the door. Keep your hands and face away as very hot air or steam may be released when the door is opened. Never set anything on the glass door, as damage could occur.

Baking/Roasting Guide

All roasting times are approximate and based on cooking thawed meats. Frozen meats may take much longer. Use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended. Cooking results may vary; adjust these times to suit your individual requirements. For best results, pre-heat the countertop oven for 4 - 8 minutes at the desired cooking temperature. (See Step 6 in “Basic Use” instructions for how to set timer control.)

FOOD OVEN TEMP TIME PER LB.
Pizza Per package directions. Per package directions.
Cookies, cakes, pies, etc. Per recipe/pkg. directions. Per recipe/pkg. directions.
Pork Roast 325°F (165°C) 40-45 min.
Beef Roast 300-325°F (150°-165°C) 25-30 min.
Ham	300-325°F (150°-165°C)	35
Chicken	350°F (175°C)	25-30 min.

Broil Function:

1. Set the function control to "BROIL." Set the temperature control to 450°F (232°C). Preheat the oven by setting the timer control to desired preheat time. (See Step 6 in "Basic Use" instructions for how to set timer control.) We recommend 15 minutes.
2. Place the food item into the bake/drip pan.
3. Place the oven rack in the appropriate rack support. Place the pan with food on to the oven rack. Ensure there is at least a 1" clearance between the food and the heating elements.
4. Once preheated, turn the timer control to desired cook time. If broiling is complete before the timer sounds, turn the timer control counter-clockwise to "○" (off). When the time has elapsed, a bell will sound and the oven will turn off automatically. Using hot pads or oven mitts, open the door and remove the

bake/drip pan with food. CAUTION: “💡” (stay on) keeps the oven on. Always turn all controls to “💡(off) and unplug the oven after use. Use extreme caution when opening the door. Keep your hands and face away as very hot air or steam may be released when the door is opened. Never set anything on the glass door, as damage could occur.

Broiling Guide

All broiling times are approximate and based on cooking thawed meats. Use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended. Results may vary; adjust the cooking temperatures and times to suit your individual requirements. Check often during broiling to avoid overcooking. For best results, pre-heat the countertop oven for 4 - 8 minutes at the desired cooking temperature. (See Step 6 in “Basic Use” instructions for how to set timer control.)

MEAT	OVEN		TEMP	COOKING	TIME
Hamburger	450°F	(232°C)	20-25	min.
Steak	450°F	(232°C)	20-25	min.
Pork	450°F	(232°C)	20-25	min.
Lamb	450°F	(232°C)	20-25	min.
Chicken	450°F	(232°C)	30-35	min.
Fish Filets 400°F (205°C) 20-25 min.

Toast Function:

The large capacity oven allows for toasting 1 to 6 slices of bread, 6 English muffin halves, frozen waffles, or pancakes. When toasting only 1 or 2 items, place the food in the center of the oven.

1. Ensure the crumb tray is in position.
2. Place the oven rack in a rack support guide. Place food to be toasted onto the oven rack.
3. Set the temperature control to 450^ F ( 232^ C). No preheat is required in this setting.
4. Set the function control to "TOAST" setting.

5. Set the timer control to the desired time. (See Step 6 in "Basic Use" instructions for how to set timer control.) Longer time will produce darker toast. We do not recommend toasting for more than 7 minutes. Always watch your toast to prevent possible burning of the item being toasted.

6. When toasting is complete, remove the oven rack using hot pads or oven mitts. Note: If toasting several batches of bread, one after the other, set the timer control for less time after the first batch as the oven will be warm and require less toasting time. CAUTION: “💡” (stay on) keeps the oven on. Always turn all controls to “○” (off) and unplug the oven after use. Use extreme caution when opening the door. Keep your hands and face away as very hot air or steam may be released when the door is opened. Never set anything on the glass door, as damage could occur.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Countertop ovens are a smaller version of your standard oven and are designed to provide the same great functions with less energy consumption. They often cook in less time as well. Use your favorite recipes to make your favorite meals, but do be sure to check your food and adjust recipes as needed to prevent over or under cooking.
• Convection cooking uses hot air movement, by means of a fan, and provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant type countertop ovens. The fan sends hot air to every area of the food, quickly sealing in moisture and flavor, producing more of an even temperature all around the food. The Countertop Convection oven was designed with a very quiet fan. If you do hear a motor running (humming), it's the convection feature. Check to ensure that your oven is on a level surface.
• Recommended Pan Sizes – The following pan sizes should fit your Countertop Oven. To be sure the pan will fit, place the pan inside the oven prior to preparing your recipe. When baking in loaf pans, we recommend you do not fill the pan more than half full.

➢ 12-cup mini muffin pan
▶ 6-cup muffin pan
▶ 8 x 4 loaf pan
9 x 5 loaf pan
▶ 8" round or square baking pan or dish
1-112 quart casserole dish – most types

CLEANING YOUR CONVECTION COUNTERTOP OVEN

CAUTION: Before cleaning any part of the oven, always set the timer control and function control to "O" (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, bake/drip pan, 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 cleansers 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, cleansers, or oven cleaner on the inside of oven, as damage will occur. Be careful when wiping around the heating elements to prevent damage.

This appliance has no user serviceable parts.
