A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer extension
cords may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the
extension cord must be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be tripped over
or pulled on by children.

KKEEEEPPOOUUTTOOFFRREEAACCHHOOFFCCHHIILLDDRREENN
The grilling pan with roasting tray
only fits onto rack in positions B,
C and D.
Baking - The baking function is used
for any food product you would put
in your large kitchen oven, such as
roasting meats, chicken, baking,
cakes, cookies and more.
Convection - Convection baking
uses an internal fan to circulate
heated air around the food. This
function produces fast, even cooking
results. Please note convection
function will reduce cooking times.
Some foods may not be ideal for
convention cooking.
Grill - Only the top heating elements
are used, ideal for a healthier way of
cooking meats, sausages, bacon. This
function would also be used for
toasting and top browning gratins
or casseroles.
USING YOUR MINI OVEN

the crumb tray is in place and that
there is nothing in the oven. Plug
power cord into socket.

reached.
Always allow a 3/4 inch gap from food
to the top heating elements.

temperature and function then turn
on. The Fan will evenly distribute the
heat and provide even and fast
cooking results. For best results
preheat oven for 5 minutes.
GRILL - When grilling, add
approximately 1/4 cup of water to
the bottom of the grilling pan to
reduce sizzling and splattering.
NNoottee::Do not use the roasting tray
without the grilling pan. There are
two positions for the roasting tray so
that a variety of thicknesses of foods
can be grilled. In most cases the oven
rack should be in position B. See Rack
position diagram on pages 2.
To grill, set temperature and function
dial to grill. Preheat oven for five
minutes with door closed.
After five-minute preheat period,
place the grill pan in the oven.
Always leave the door slightly
ajar when grilling.
TOAST - Single sided toast - can
be achieved by using grill setting and
placing bread on rack position A. Turn
bread over to toast underside. Set
timer to 'Always On' and grill until
desired browning is achieved.
Never leave oven unattended
when toasting bread.
Fire can easily result.
