IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions, product labels and warnings before using your Precision Control countertop oven.
2. This appliance generates heat during use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Always
protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts or similar.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other
liquid.
4. This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should not play with
the appliance.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking o parts and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking o parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF,
then unplug power cord from outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord. Always grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return appliance to
the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
9. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near wet surfaces, or heat sources such as a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance or removing a pan, containing hot oil or other
hot liquids. Always protect your hands with non-slip oven mitts or similar.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Intended for household
countertop use only. Keep 6 inches (152 mm) clear from the wall and on all sides. Always use appliance
on a dry, stable, level surface.
14. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the countertop oven as they may create a fire or
risk of electric shock.
15. A fire may occur if the countertop oven is covered, touching or near flammable materials, including
curtains, draperies, towels, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the
appliance when in operation.
16. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break o the pad and touch electrical parts, creating
a risk of electric shock.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable
power-supply cord or 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;
• 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; and
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type
3-wire cord. Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
NOTICES
• Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot
pad or trivet under your countertop oven to prevent possible damage to the surface.
• During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal
with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature
or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet
feels warm do not use that outlet.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible Problem Easy Solution
Oven does not turn ON • Plug the Countertop into the electrical outlet.
• Check that the power plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
• Insert the power plug into a dierent outlet.
• Press the START button.
Smoke odor • During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor
may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and

Heating elements do not
stay ON
• Be certain that function is as desired. Heating elements will cycle ON
and OFF to maintain proper heat.
Overcooked/
undercooked foods
• You may have to adjust the time and temperature to desired taste.
• Because your countertop oven is smaller than your regular oven, it
will heat up faster and generally cook in shorter periods of time.
• Rack may need to be adjusted to accommodate food type.
Burnt smell • Refer to “Cleaning & Maintenance.” Food build-up inside the
countertop oven, on heating elements, in crumb tray can sometimes
cause burnt smell.
LCD display turns OFF • Press any button to wake up the appliance. The LCD screen light turns
