Product Usage Instructions

Remove the oven and all materials from the oven cavity. Keep the packaging material for future use. Wipe the appliance clean using a damp cloth with mild, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners as they may damage the Quartz oven’s coating. Dry the unit thoroughly before using.
Remove the appliance’s accessories from their packaging and clean them by immersing in warm, soapy water and wiping dry with a soft cloth. They can also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
Select a location for the Quartz Oven. It should be on a dry, stable, even surface and in the vicinity of a power outlet. Do not operate the appliance on a finished wooden table. We recommend placing a hopad or trivet under the appliance to prevent possible damage to the surface.
Plug the Quartz Oven into the power outlet. Do not connect it to a circuit that is regularly switched ON and OFF. It is recommended that a separate circuit be used exclusively for the appliance. Overloading the voltage of the circuit may lead to fire.
Use the function selector dial and turbo convection selector button to choose from ten functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Set Temp, Shade Setting or Temperature Setting, Preheating, Cookies, Reheat, Keep Warm, Defrost, and Dehydrate.
Use the time/temperature control dial and time/temperature selector button to adjust the cooking time and temperature according to your needs.
Place the food on the appropriate accessory and put it in the oven on the desired rack position. Use caution when handling hot accessories and food.
After use, turn off the oven by pressing the Light/Start/Cancel/Off buttons. Let it cool down before cleaning.
Clean the oven and accessories by wiping them with a damp cloth using mild, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners as they may damage the Quartz oven’s coating. Dry the unit thoroughly before using.
If you encounter any error codes or issues with the oven, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in Chapter 4 of the user manual. If necessary, contact an IFB approved service technician to replace faulty parts.
