HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
North American models with polarized plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable 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. If a long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used:

a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
c. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your countertop oven to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

How do I adjust the time for Convection?

Answer: On average, convection will shorten the cooking time by 30% but it varies by food. It is suggested to go with a shorter cooking time to start with and then add time if it is needed

What are the best foods to use with Convection?

Answer: While a shorter cook time is often desirable, bake goods in particular benefit from convection cooking as the circulating air keeps oven temperature consistent throughout.

To Use the Toast Function
Select desired oven rack position. (See “Positioning Rack” Section)

For longer cooking times, rotate the Timer Dial counterclockwise to the “Stay On” setting. Cooking will continue until the Timer Dial is manually turned to the “Off” position and the bell will sound.

Positioning Rack
To accommodate a wide variety of foods the oven has two rack positions. (See Figure 6)
Positioning of the rack will depend on the size of the food and desired browning. Before removing the rack allow the unit to cool. For best toast and pizza results, position the rack in the upper rack position.
PLEASE NOT E – The oven rack may tilt downward causing food to shift when the rack is pulled out, proceed with caution.

Positioning Pan

To accommodate a wide variety of foods the oven has two pan positions. The pan can be placed on top of the rack or inserted into the guide rails below the rack. (See Figure Below) •
Before removing the pan allow the unit to cool.
Positioning of the oven pan will depend on the desired cooking method. For baking, place
the pan on top of one of the racks. For grilling or broiling, insert the pan into the guide rails
below the rack and place the food on top of the rack.
