In the beginning, there was Wolfgang Puck. There were cooks and there were kitchens and there were people eating food, but the world had never seen anything like Spago— with its California cuisine, its casual elegance, and its chef whose genuine warmth and love of craft redefined the dining experience. And theycame—from LA and from everywhere—to experience the future. Wolfgang Puck shaped the modern culinary landscape: he was the first celebrity chef, the inventor of fusion cuisine, the first in farm-to-table. His work is inspired by California living, and an insistence on only the freshest ingredients. From his legendary fine dining icons, his entrepreneurial spirit has built an empire—from dining, to catering, to products for the home— touching the lives of millions around the globe. Today, as always, Chef Puck is earnestly, restlessly, tirelessly at work behind the scenes inventing what’s next. He is driven by a genuine love of his craft, a passion for what’s possible, and its potential to change the world.

Before Your First Use

Become familiar with your oven and the functions before plugging in and using. Always unplug your oven and wait until all parts and oven body have completely cooled prior to cleaning. Ensure that you have removed all parts from the packaging materials by referencing the Know Your Oven section of this manual.

It is necessary to do a trial run of your oven to eliminate any protective
substance on the heating elements. Conduct the trial run in a wellventilated area as a small amount of smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal and should be expected. Follow the procedure below for the trial run.

Remove all accessories from the oven and close the door.
Ensure the VENT RELEASE VALVE is in the VENT position and the SEALING LEVER is in the STANDARD position.
Plug the oven into a standard 120v grounded outlet.
Set the FUNCTION KNOB to BAKE, the TEMPERATURE KNOB to 450˚F and the TIMER KNOB to 30 to begin the trial run process.

Become Familiar with Your Oven Parts

Temperature Knob
Choose the desired or recommended temperature up to 450˚F.

Function Knob
Select from one of the five available cooking modes (Bake, Toast, Roast, Broil, Warm).

Timer Knob
To activate the 120 minute timer, turn the TIMER KNOB to the right (clockwise). When the time has elapsed or the knob is manually turned to the 0 (off) position, a bell will sound and oven will shut off. For cooking times greater than 2 hours, the timer will need to be reset by turning the Timer Knob to the 0 (off) position first then back to the desired remaining time. As an example, if you set your Timer Knob to 1 hour and 45 minutes and then increase the time without turning the knob to the off position first, the oven will shut off automatically after 2 hours total cooking time.

Note: For times shorter than 20 minutes, or when toasting, turn the
TIMER KNOB past the 30 minute mark and then back to the desired
time.

Power Indicator Light (Red)
Illuminates when the TIMER KNOB is turned on.

Ready Light (Green)
Illuminates when the oven has preheated to the set temperature, and
will cycle on and off during the cooking cycle while maintaining the set temperature.

Baking Rack
The curved portion of the BAKING RACK should be placed at the rear of the oven with the two brackets in the up position (see fig. 1 on page 13).

Drip/Baking Pan and Broil Rack Insert
Use as a drip pan when broiling in the upper rack position when combined with the DRIP/BAKING PAN INSERT (see fig. 3 on page 13 – shaded for reference only). The pan can be used as a baking pan when placed on top of the BAKING RACK.

Crumb Tray
To access the CRUMB TRAY open the door and slide out from underneath the bottom heating elements. Always have the CRUMB TRAY in place underneath the heating elements when using your oven.

Baking Rack/Drip Pan Removal Tool
Used to remove the BAKING RACK or DRIP PAN from the oven. It is not recommended to be used when lifting heavy casserole dishes.

Become Familiar with Your Oven Parts (cont.)

Vent Release Valve
Used to maintain low pressure (1 psi) in the oven during the cooking process. The VENT RELEASE VALVE has two settings, SEAL (see fig. 4 on page 14) to maintain the pressure, and VENT (see fig. 5 on page 14) to release pressure at the end of the cooking process.

NOTE: By design the VENT RELEASE VALVE rests loosely on top of the vent valve. This allows the VENT RELEASE VALVE to rise up and down during the cooking process to maintain the proper pressure.

Sealing Lever
Your oven has the ability to cook in standard toaster oven mode or in pressure mode. To cook in standard mode leave the SEALING LEVER in the up position STANDARD (see fig. 6 on page 14) and the VENT RELEASE VALVE in the VENT position (see fig. 5 on page 14). To cook in pressure mode, lower the SEALING LEVER to the SEAL position (see fig. 7 on page 14) and the VENT RELEASE VALVE to the SEAL position (see fig. 4 on page 14).

Door Release Button

NEVER attempt to wipe elements while the oven in plugged in or still on.
Door does not appear to shut completely| Your oven is currently set to Standard mode| In standard cooking mode (Sealing Lever in up position and Vent Release Valve in VENT position) the door is slightly ajar to allow excess air to vent during cooking from the door. This allows your oven to operate like standard conventional countertop ovens. In pressure mode, the door is pulled in when the Sealing Lever is lowered to complete an airtightseal. See page 12 for additional information.
I hear air escaping from the Vent Release Valve on top of the oven| The Sealing Lever is in pressure mode (Lowered) which forces air through the vent valve to maintain the required pressure in the oven| As pressure builds up when cooking in Pressure Mode, it is normal to hear air escaping from the Vent Release Valve on top of the oven. This is how the oven maintains the correct pressure level.
