Power Cord
This unit has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. An extension cord may be used if you
are careful in its use:
1. The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. An extension cord with the power cord must be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where they can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.
Polarized Plug
Your oven is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug must fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
• If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not
operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electric circuit from other
appliances.

Rotisserie
•Trim any loose hangings on the poultry or meat before placing on the
rotisserie. Wings and legs on poultry should be tied together with wet string or
butchers twine to prevent them from touching the heating elements as it rotates.
They should be secured close to the body. Cut off any excess string.
• Then insert the rotisserie spit into the food. Loosen the screws on the forks and
place one onto the spit on either side of the food. Center the food on the spit,
insert the forks at different angles to hold the food more firmly.Tighten the fixing
screws to fix the rotisserie forks into place.
• Insert the pointed end of the spit into the hole on the right inner wall of the oven
and lower the left side into the cradle on the left inner wall of the oven.
•Place the drip pan at the lowest level.
•Set the temperature to the desired level.
• Set the required cooking time.
Roasting
•Place the wire rack on the highest shelf position. If there is insufficient space,
move the rack down to the next level.
• Place the drip pan one level below the wire rack to catch drips. The tray and
the rack should be set at different levels to allow heat to circulate properly.
•Set the temperature to the desired level.
•Set the cooking time.
• When a glass-roasting pan is used, the heat will be reflected and a longer
cooking time will be required.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing hot food from the oven.

• Make sure that the cooking time has been set.
• Make sure that the temperature dial has been set.
2. There is a metallic sound when the oven is in use.
• Shut the unit off. Do not attempt to disassemble the oven. Send it to an
authorized service agent right away for an examination of the fan.
3. Food is often overcooked or burned, even when cooked according to the
recipe.
•Have an authorized service agent check the temperature dial.
• Check that the fan motor is operating normally.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, an authorized service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
First, remove the plug of the power cord from the wall outlet.
• After the oven cools, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean the unit. Do not
soak the inside of the oven or wash it under running water, as this will cause
serious damage to the appliance.
• Do not use sharp or hard kitchen utensils on the oven since this could damage
the surface of the appliance.
• Covering the food to be cooked with aluminum foil before cooking will make
cleanup easier.
• The wire rack, drip pan, rotisserie spit and forks can be removed and washed
with running water or in a dishwasher.
• To replace the oven light, make sure that the oven is completely shut off and
has completely cooled. Loosen the screw on the light bulb cover on the upper
rear corner of the right interior wall. Remove the cover. Turn the bulb counter-
clockwise to remove. Replace the new bulb in the socket and turn the bulb
clockwise to tighten. Replace the light bulb cover and tighten the screw.
