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.

5
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.
21. Do not use the convection oven as a source for heat or
for drying.
22. The appliance must only be used in the upright position,
never lying down, tilted or upside down.
23. Empty the crumb tray regularly.
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 exten-
sion 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.

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 fin-
ish is backed with our exclusive 5-year warranty, and it offers
flawless release as well as easy clean-up. The nonstick coated
heavy gauge 9x13-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 capac-
ity and .49 cubic feet of usable oven space is large enough to
accommodate a 9x13-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 auto-
matically 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 convec-
tion 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.

8
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 9x13-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. Con-
tinue 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 tem-

10
perature 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.

11
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.

12
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 auto-
matically 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 continu-
ous 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 toast-
ing, 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 broil-
ing rack in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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 9x13-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 effec-
tively 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 com-
pletely 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.

14
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.
