Frequently Asked Questions - IT-455CR Imarflex

How do I use the rotisserie function?

Set the temperature to MAX (230°C). Preheat for 5 minutes. Insert the spit through the food, secure with skewers, place the pointed end into the drive socket. Select Rotisserie or Rotisserie + Convection mode. Set timer and cook. Use the rotisserie handle to remove the spit after cooking.

What should I do if there is a burning smell during first use?

This is normal. Preheat the empty oven for 3-5 minutes at 175°C to burn off any manufacturing residues. Ensure good ventilation.

Can I use metal pans inside the oven?

Yes, the oven is designed for metal pans. The included baking tray and grill rack are metal. Do not use plastic or paper containers.

How do I clean the oven?

Unplug and let it cool completely. Wipe the exterior and interior with a damp cloth. Wash the racks, trays, and rotisserie parts with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the main unit in water.

What is the maximum cooking time?

The mechanical timer can be set up to 60 minutes. For longer recipes, you can reset the timer after it rings.

Can I bake a cake in this oven?

Yes, use the lower heater or convection + lower setting. Follow recipe temperature and time. The oven has multiple rack positions for proper baking.

How do I preheat the oven?

Set the function selector to your desired mode, set temperature to 175°C (or as recipe requires), and turn the timer to 5 minutes. The indicator light will cycle until preheated.

Why is the oven making a ticking or contracting sound?

A minor metal contraction sound is normal during heating and cooling. It is caused by thermal expansion of the metal components.

What should I do if the oven does not heat up?

FUNCTION & HEAT SELECTOR

1. Upper Heater – It is normally used for cooking the top part of foods, reheating, pizza, broiling, etc.
2. Lower Heater – Used for baking bread.
3. Up & Down Heater – Used for roasting and grilling meats, seafood, etc.
4. Rotisserie + Convection – This setting is normally used to roast chicken, etc.; the fan and the rotisserie work together.
5. Rotisserie – Rotisserie ovens are commonly used for cooking poultry and meat, but can also cook fish.
6. Convection – Works by circulating hot air around the oven's cavity, helping food cook faster and more evenly.

HOW TO USE

NOTE: For the first use, preheat the convection & rotisserie oven for at least 3 to 5 minutes until any burnt smell and light smoke are gone. This is to prevent the smell and smoke from mixing with the food to be cooked.

1. Place the unit on a flat surface.
2. Check that the timer is in the OFF position before plugging the oven into a power outlet. Then plug in the unit.
3. Set the heat selector to the desired setting.
4. Set the function switch to the desired setting.
5. For baking, use edible oil or butter to prevent food from sticking to the pan.
6. Turn the timer to preheat the oven for 5 minutes (or as required by the recipe) and set the temperature to 175^ C.

NOTE: If you need to set the time for less than 10 minutes, set the timer for more than 10 minutes first, then adjust it to the desired time.

1. Place the food on the grill rack or tray and close the door. Be careful when handling the unit, as it will be hot. Tips: For roasting chicken or grilling meat, place the baking tray on the lower tray holder with a small amount of oil to reduce smoke and make cleaning easier.
2. Turn the timer switch to the desired cooking time. NOTE: The cooking time and results may vary depending on the amount and size of the food. It's advisable to experiment to find the optimal settings and doneness.
3. A beep will sound, and the oven will stop cooking once the set time is finished.

CAUTION: Do not touch the unit when it is hot.
