IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Infrawave™ Speed Cooking Countertop
Oven – the latest in cooking technology! The Infrawave™ Speed Cooking
Countertop Oven uses specific wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. This
allows it to deliver the benefit of speed and the ability to cook a broad range of
foods to perfection.
There’s no wasted energy as with conventional ovens and none of the uneven
cooking you get with microwaves. Superior browning and crisping capabilities seal
in flavor — cooking meat, poultry and fish dishes to perfection. You’ll also get the
perfect toast every time.
With your Infrawave™ Speed Cooking Countertop Oven you'll enjoy:
•FASTER COOKING TIMES WITH NO PREHEATING
•Superior browning and crisping
•Even cooking on all types of food
•Energy and time savings
•Easy-to-use control options
HOW IS THE INFRAWAVE™OVEN DIFFERENT?
During cooking, the interior lights will cycle on and off. This is because the
Infrawave™ Oven doesn’t cook by a specific temperature. It cooks by cycling its
heater lights on and off according to the type of food you wish to prepare. This
"intelligent profiling" provides advanced cooking performance over conventional
ovens.
For example, when baking cookies, here is the difference between a conventional
oven and the Infrawave™ Oven.
Conventional Oven: Infrawave™ Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°. Place cookies in oven.
Wait approximately 10 minutes Press
for oven to preheat.
Bake at 350° for approximately Press again to accept default time
13 minutes. of 7 minutes (for most cookies).
The Infrawave™ Oven heater lights will
cycle on and off appropriately for baking
cookies. It’s that simple!

crumbs and wash the tray in warm, sudsy water. Remove stubborn spots with a

Cooking Containers
1. The inside dimensions of this Oven are 10-5/16" x 11" x 6" This size allows for
many different types of baking containers. Keep interior dimensions in mind
when purchasing cooking containers.
2. Metal, ovenproof glass without lids or ceramic bakeware may be used in your
oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the edge of the container and
the food being cooked is at least 1" (2.54 cm) away from upper heating
elements.
3. Some frozen foods are packaged in paper or plastic containers suitable for
microwave or regular ovens. Do not use paper or plastic containers in the
Infrawave™ Oven. Simply transfer food to an Infrawave™ Oven compatible
container: If there are any questions regarding the use of a specific container,
contact the food manufacturer.
4. Some items which should never be used in your Oven:
•Glass lids on glass or metal bakeware. (If a cover is needed, use aluminum foil
and be careful that it does not touch the heating elements.)
•Air-tight packages such as sealed pouches or cans.
•Plastic wrapping such as oven roasting bags or paperboard covers.
•Containers larger than those recommended.
•Containers with warnings against use in range-type or toaster ovens.
Afew notes on your Infrawave™ Speed Cooking Countertop Oven:
•During cooking, the interior lights will cycle on and off. This is because the
Infrawave™ Oven doesn’t cook by a specific temperature. It cooks by cycling
its heater lights on and off.
•Abeep will sound when pressing most control panel buttons.
•Since infrared waves can go through glass, cooking can be improved with an
oven-safe, glass dish.
