8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric, or induction burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

12. This product is designed for household use only. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

13. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a convection oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

14. A fire may occur if the convection oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.

15. Do not clean the convection oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.

16. Extreme caution should be exercised when using contain-ers or baking pans constructed from materials other than metal or glass.

17. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

18. Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or any other flammable materials.

19. Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

20. In case of malfunction, the convection oven may be turned off by pressing the “Toast” button if you are toasting in the convection oven, or by turning the “Timer” knob to the “Off” position if you are baking. Once turned off, care-fully unplug the electrical cord from the outlet.

Electrical Requirements

• Avoid electrical shock. This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and it should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. If the plug fails to fit into an existing outlet, contact a qualified electrician to update the outlet.
• Use proper extension cord. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. A short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance and 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.

Parts and Features

OPTI-HEATTM System

• Optimal Heat Delivery
  The precision placement of the upper and lower convection oven heating elements, along with the reflective interior and internal sensor, help create even browning.

• Premium Materials
  Your convection oven’s high performance bronze nonstick finish is backed with our exclusive 5-year warranty, and it offers flawless release as well as easy clean-up. The nonstick coated heavy gauge 9×13-inch baking pan/broil rack is the ideal size for everyday cooking tasks.

• Sleek, Contoured Design – The updated, contoured shape of your convection oven complements contemporary kitchen designs, and the sleek stainless steel housing coordinates with other Calphalon countertop appliances.

• More Usable Capacity – The generous .7 cubic feet capacity and .49 cubic feet of usable oven space is large enough to accommodate a 9×13-inch baking pan and a 13-inch pizza pan. So, use your convection oven as a second oven (or as an energy-saving smaller oven.)

• Elevated, Easy-to-Read Controls – No more straining to see control knobs and settings. Our raised controls illuminate so you know when the convection oven is “On” and “Off” and how much cooking time remains. Choose from a variety of standard oven temperatures, as well as “Warm” and “Broil” settings. And, set the oven to toast from “Light” to “Dark” with the toast shade selector.

• Auto-off Timer – For your safety, if the convection oven is operated continuously for more than two hours, it will automatically turn itself off. Or, if you set the convection oven for a designated cook time, it will chime and automatically turn off at the end of that time.

• Super-sized Toasting Capability – Toast up to 6 slices of bread, bagel or English muffin halves at once using the convection oven toasting feature. Choose from “Light”, “Medium” and “Dark” settings.

• Quality Convection Cooking – Achieve superior browning and evenness of baking and roasting with the convection fan. With the touch of a button, the convection fan is designed to run during the baking cycle, circulating warm air around the food. And when you use convection, you will reduce traditional cooking times, so be sure to check your cooking progress.

• Broiling – Not only does the convection oven toast and bake, it also broils. So, with a turn of the control knob, the upper heating element will sear meats or melt the cheese on your garlic bread.

• Removable Crumb Tray – This handy crumb tray slides out easily so you can discard crumbs quickly.

• Baking Pan and Broil Rack – Your convection oven comes complete with a high performance bronze nonstick 9×13-inch baking pan/broil rack. It is designed specifically for use with the oven and the nonstick coating offers easy release, which makes cleaning a breeze.

Assembling Your Convection Oven

1. Carefully remove all the pieces of the convection oven from the packaging and place the oven on counter near a suitable electrical outlet. (See page 5 for information regarding electrical requirements.)
2. Before the first use, wash the removable crumb tray, wire rack, baking pan, and broil rack in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Slide wire rack into oven.
4. Slide crumb tray into place through the door at the bottom of the oven.
5. Plug power cord into 3-prong electrical outlet. The oven should be the only appliance operating on the circuit. Continue with steps for “Operating Your Convection Oven”.

Operating Your Convection Oven

Toasting

• Step 1 : Position the oven rack in the lower slot with the rack oriented upwards. Make sure the rack is level and securely in place.
• Step 2: Insert bread and close oven door. Place bread (or bagel, English muffin) slices in a single layer on rack. The rack will accommodate six standard slices of bread.
• Step 3: Turn the Toast control knob clockwise to the desired level of browning. Choose from “Light”, “Medium” and “Dark” settings.
• Step 4: Press the “Toast” button to start the toasting cycle. The toaster will begin toasting. If for any reason you need to stop the toaster, press the “Toast” button again.

Baking

• Step 1: Position the oven rack in the lower slot with the rack oriented upwards. Make sure the rack is level and securely in place.

• Step 2: Place food in baking pan, put on oven rack and close oven door. Use one of the baking pans that came with the oven, or select one of your own that fits within the oven cavity. Do not use over-sized pans that touch the oven walls or keep the door from closing.

• Step 3: Choose heat setting. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired heat setting. Choose from temperature set-tings ranging from 250˚F to 450˚F.

• Step 4: Set the timer. The oven does not begin operating until the timer is set. Once the timer is set, lights around the temperature control knob illuminate. To set the timer, turn the timer knob from the “Off” position to the right and select the desired time up to 60 minutes. As the cooking time elapses, the timer knob will tick and gradually turn to 0. A chime will sound when the timer expires.
  If you prefer that the oven be on for more than 60 minutes, turn the timer knob from the “Off” position to the left to the “Always On” position. Remember that your oven will automatically shut off after two hours of continuous operation.

• Step 5: Do not open the door while cooking. Any time you open the oven door heat escapes and this extends the baking time. Instead, look through the glass door to observe cooking progress.
  Convection Baking
  Set up and operate the oven as described for Baking, then press the “Convection” button to start the convection fan. Press the “Convection” button again to stop the fan.
  NOTE : Reduce traditional cooking times by about 15 percent when you use the convection fan feature.

Broiling

• Step 1: Position the oven rack in the middle slot with the rack oriented upwards. Make sure the rack is level and securely in place.
• Step 2: Put food on baking pan/broil rack, place on wire oven rack, and close oven door. Use the baking pan/broil rack that came with the oven or select one of your own that fits within the oven cavity. Do not use over-sized pans that touch the oven walls or keep the door from closing.
• Step 3 : Choose “Broil” setting. Turn the temperature control knob to the “Broil” setting.
• Step 4: Set the timer. The convection oven does not be-gin operating until the timer is set. Once the timer is set, lights around the temperature control knob illuminate.
  To set the timer, turn the timer knob from the “Off” position to the right and select the desired time up to 60 minutes. As the broil time elapses, the timer knob will tick and gradually turn to 0. A chime will sound when the timer expires.
  NOTE : We recommend that you do not operate the convection oven in the “Always On” setting when using the broil feature. Use only the timer feature for broiling.

Warming

• Step 1: Position the oven rack in the lower slot with the rack oriented upwards. Make sure the rack is level and securely in place.
• Step 2: Put food in baking pan, place on oven rack and close oven door. Use the baking/broiling pan pro-vided with the oven. Or, select one of your own that fits within the oven cavity. Do not use over-sized pans that touch the oven walls or keep the door from closing.
• Step 3: Choose “Warm” setting. Turn the temperature control knob to “Warm”.
• Step 4: Set the timer. The convection oven does not be-gin operating until the timer is set. Once the timer is set, lights around the temperature control knob illuminate.
  To set the timer, turn the timer knob from the “Off” position to the right and select the desired time up to 60 minutes. As the cooking time elapses, the timer knob will tick and gradually turn to 0. A chime will sound when the timer expires.
  If you prefer that the oven be on for more than 60 minutes, turn the timer knob from the “Off” position to the left to the “Always On” position. Remember that your convection oven will automatically shut off after two hours of continuous operation.
  Auto-off Safety Feature – For your safety, when using the “Always On” mode, the convection oven will automatically shut down after two hours of continuous operation. So if you forget to turn it off, the oven turns itself off.

Cleaning and Care

1. Metal utensils will damage the nonstick coating. Use only non-metal, temperature resistant utensils, such as wood or nylon.

2. When you are done using the convection oven, be sure to turn it off. If you are using the convection oven for toasting, press the “Toast” button to stop the oven. If you are warming, baking, or broiling, turn the timer control knob to the “Off” position. Once turned off, carefully unplug the electrical cord from the outlet.

3. Allow the convection oven, wire rack, baking pan, and broil rack to cool before cleaning.

4. Wipe the inside and outside of the oven and the oven rack with a clean, damp cloth. Wash the baking pan and broiling rack in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   WARNING

5. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the nonstick surfaces of the convection oven. DO NOT immerse the convection oven in water.

Frequently Asked Questions

• My convection oven is not heating; what am I doing wrong?
  Be sure the power cord is plugged into a suitable out-let. See page 5 for electrical requirements. If you are trying to Toast, make sure that the Toast control knob is set to the desired setting and that you have pressed the “Toast” button. If you are trying to Warm, Bake, or Broil, make sure that the temperature control knob is set to the desired temperature, and that the timer control knob is set to the desired cooking time or to the “Always On” position.

• Can I bake a cake in my convection oven?
  Yes. Standard cake mixes can be baked in a 9×13-inch baking pan, so they fit perfectly into the convection oven.

• Should I place bread slices on a baking pan to toast them?
  No. Actually, it is best to place slices of bread directly on the wire rack for toasting. This allows the heat to more effectively reach the bread and toast it on both sides.

• Does the convection oven have a self-cleaning cycle?
  No. The premium nonstick surfaces in your convection oven make clean up a breeze. Simply allow the oven to cool completely and wipe the interior with a clean, damp cloth. Even baked on foods will release from the surface. Use a nylon or polyester mesh cleansing pad to remove heavier food soils. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surfaces of the oven.

• Is it okay to place garlic cheese bread directly on the oven rack?
  It is better to place cheese bread (or any foods that have an ingredient that will melt) on a baking pan. That way, if the cheese oozes over, the pan will catch the cheese in-stead of allowing it to fall on the heating elements in the bottom of the oven.

• If a baking pan fits in the oven, but the door won’t quite close, is it safe to use?
  No. Baking pans should fit completely inside the oven so the door closes and so that the pan does not touch the sides of the oven. Having this space allows warm air to circulate around the food and cook it properly.

• Do I need to preheat the convection oven?
  For baking or broiling, we recommend that you preheat your convection oven for 5 minutes to allow the oven to fully heat to the selected temperature.

• Should I use the same time and temperature for the convection oven as what I use for my regular oven?
  Yes, your favorite recipes may be used in the toaster oven following the same times and temperatures.
