WARNING

This appliance generates heat and steam may escape during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of bums, fires or another injury to persons or damage to property.

CAUTION HOT SURFACES

This appliance is hot during use and retains heat for some time after turning off. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow to cool before cleaning.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plugin anyway.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This versatile cooker combines heat and convection technology to keep foods moist on the inside yet browned and crispy on the outside -all without the use of added fats or oils.
Conduction heat targets the surface of the food for browning. Convection circulates the hot air to cook the food evenly and speeds cooking up to 3 times faster. Pre-programmed settings take the guesswork out of cooking: chicken, pork, beef, kabob, warm, and seafood. You can also manually set the cooking time and temperature.

ASSEMBLY

• Place unit on a level and heatproof surface, where a 15-amp outlet is within reach.
• Place the glass bowl onto the plastic base.
• Place the low and high cooking racks into the glass bowl.
• Place the glass lid on top of the glass bowl. The lid should sit on the inner rim of the bowl.
• If using an extender ring, place it on top of the glass bowl, then place the lid on the ring.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Always have oven mitts ready to remove the lid and cook food. Any oven-safe pans, plates, cookware can be used inside this oven.

PLACING FOOD IN OVEN:

• Open the lid and place the racks inside, use one or both racks, depending on the amount or type of food.
• You may combine both racks to make a grid when cooking foods like French fries. Place the high rack in first, then layer the low rack over the high rack, align to form a grid.
• Place food to be cooked on the rack — this will allow the hot air to circulate around the food for faster and even cooking.
• If an extender ring is needed, place the flat part of the extender ring over the glass bowl. The ring has its own lip that will create a perfect seal with the lid.
• Close the lid. Plug the power cord into the outlet. The LED displays will illuminate 0:00 and 000.

MANUAL COOKING TIME & TEMPERATURE SETTING

• Use the adjustment buttons (+/-) to manually set the time (0:00 to 2:59) and the temperature (100 to 450°F)
• Cooking time advances in 1-minute increments, the temperature is in 25°F increments. Press and hold the buttons to advance faster.

PRE-SET PROGRAMS

• If using one-touch preset buttons, the time and temperature will display automatically.
• The cooking time and temperature can still be adjusted with the adjustment buttons ( ).
• When a program is selected, the indicator light next to the selection will start blinking. However, the unit will not start to operate until you press the confirm button.

NOTE: The cooking time depends on the size and weight of the food. Most meats have recommended cooking times, those times should be used as a guide as this oven cooks faster than conventional ovens, you may need to adjust cooking time accordingly.

TURNING UNIT ON/OFF:

• Be sure the handle is fully lowered. The handle must be flat down for the oven to operate.

• Press the confirm button to start cooking.
  NOTE: the handle operates as a safety switch, as soon as it is lifted, the oven will stop operating. Once the unit is ON, the heating and fan will turn on. The heating will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature — it will go off when the required heat setting has been reached.

• If at any time you need to check the food, simply lift the handle up to stop operation. The cooking time and temperature displays will pause.
  CAUTION: Before removing the glass lid, be sure the handle is in the upright position as this will activate the safety switch and stop the oven’s operation. The oven will be very hot. If using the extender ring, be extra careful as it will get very hot during the cooking process. Use oven mitts when removing the glass lid.

• When done checking, lower the handle until it snaps in and presses the Confirm button to resume cooking.

• If at any time you need to turn off the unit before the timer is up, simply press the Confirm button.

• When the timer counts down to 0:00, the oven will beep several times and will turn off automatically.
  NOTE: The heating will turn off immediately once the timer counts down to 0:00, while the convection fan will stay on to allow the unit to cool off (approx 1 to 3 minutes).

• Remove lid and check to make sure food is fully cooked. NOTE: to ensure food is cooked, use a cooking thermometer or pierce the food with a fork to check for uncooked juices on meats and poultry. When cooking vegetables, check for desired tenderness Moisture may build up inside the oven when cooked food is not removed soon after the timer has gone off. The steam/moisture build-up can be avoided by removing the food as soon as cooking is done.

• Use provided tongs to lift out the food and/or racks

PRE-HEATING

• Make sure the racks are placed inside the oven prior to pre-heating.
• If pre-heating is required, set the required temperature using the adjustment buttons. Set the time to 10 minutes. Once the temperature is reached, the conduction heat light will turn off. You can now open the lid and place food inside.

CARE & CLEANING

• Make sure oven is turned off and unplugged.
• Always wait until the unit cools down completely.
• Thoroughly wash the glass bowl, plastic base, extender ring, cooking racks and tongs in hot soapy water and allow to dry completely. Glass bowl and cooking racks are dishwasher safe.
• When washing the cooking racks, do not soak in water for long periods of time. Once washed, best to dry with cloth or paper towel. This will preserve the surface and will extend the life of the racks.
•  Once unplugged, the glass lid surface can be wiped clean using a damp cloth or sponge.

WARNING: Do not immerse the lid, cord, or plug in water or any liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not place the lid in the dishwasher. All parts must be dry before next use When storing the unit, be sure ALL parts are dry, to avoid any moisture collecting in the lid.

SELF CLEANING OF GLASS BOWL

If food particles are stuck on the bottom or sides of the glass bowl, you can perform self-cleaning.

• Pour approximately 1 to 2 inches of water into the bowl, add a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid.
• Place lid on and plug into an outlet.
• Press the Warm preset button. The time and temperature will display automatically.
• Change the cooking time to 10 minutes using the adjustment buttons.
• When the timer counts down to 0:00, carefully open the lid and wait for the glass bowl to cool down before emptying the liquid inside.
• Rinse the glass bowl in clean warm water to remove soap residue.

INTERNAL FOOD TEMPERATURE GUIDE

This is a list of the internal temperature that different food must reach to kill bacteria. These are NOT the temperature to use to cook the food.

When cooking poultry, always cook to the internal emperature of 170­180°F. Another sign of cooked poultry is when the juices run clear. Fish is done when it looks opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Shellfish (shrimp, crab or lobster) will turn reddish-pink on the outside and opaque on the inside.
