HELPFUL TIPS
The EverythingOven Plus has been designed to utilize everyday recipes.
However,cooking temperatures and times may vary. We recommend you
monitorthe cooking progress by checking your food frequentlyduring
operation to ensure ideal cooking results.
Some recipescall for the oven to be preheated. Youmight want to preheat 5
to 10minutes priorto cooking time.
Always usenon-abrasivecookingutensilssince metalmayscratchthesurfaces.
Always use oven mittsto protect from burns and injuries.
To protectand prolongthe life of your non-stickcoated roasting tray, you may
line the tray with aluminumfoil (shiny side down).
DO NOT place any itemson the oven door while itis open. This maycause
the glass to break and may result in injury.
Extreme cautionshould be exercisedwhen you open theglass door.
When theoven is not inuse, rememberto turn allthe control switches to
"OFF" positionand unplug the unit.
Some of the cooking maycause oil to drip on the heatingelements. The oil
will vaporize and cause some smoke. If smoke is not excessive, itwill not
harm the oven or food.
