IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CONTINUED
• Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: that is, paper,
cardboard, plastic, and the like.
• Do not cover drip pan or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will
cause overheating of the oven.
• Save these Instructions.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is
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 longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,
2) 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
3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or
extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
GETTING STARTED
• The Searing Oven should always be placed on a flat, stable surface.
Keep at least 4 inches of empty space open on each side. Make sure
to keep the item away from any towels, curtains, or combustible
materials.
• Before plugging the item into your home’s power outlet, please
ensure that the outlet voltage is consistent with the voltage
mentioned in “Compatibility” section.
• Before using, remove any labels and wash and dry the accessories
in accordance with the care instructions.
• You should only use the included accessories when cooking with the
Searing Oven. The Guiding Handle can be used to remove the Drip
Pan and Sear Tray.
• Do not scratch the surface or cut directly on the Sear Tray.
• When in use, you may notice flare ups inside the Searing Oven. This
is due to the fat content of your food and this is okay.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• The KHQ Searing Oven has a temperature range of 400ºF to a
maximum of 1550ºF.
• Please note: Use extra caution and ensure you always wear oven
mitts or gloves to protect your hands and fingers when using the item.
• Insert the Drip Pan at the very bottom of the Searing Oven before
proceeding to cook. It should sit below/slide under the lowest rails, as
you may use the lowest level for the Sear Tray.
• The Sear Tray can be positioned at 3 different levels depending on
your cooking needs. Please note that the top/highest level is closest
to the heating element, so your food will cook very quickly.
• Plug the Searing Oven into a compatible outlet. For first use, locate the
power switch in the back of the unit and press to ON. The unit will beep
to indicate it is powered on.
• The machine will conduct a self-test and the fan will turn on. The fan
will stop automatically after 3 seconds. The machine is now in standby
mode, where the temperature digital display will show "---", timer digital
display will show 0:00, and all present lights will remain off until you
choose a function.
• If you do not choose a preset and the unit remains in standby mode
for 3 minutes, it will power off.
• Once the unit is on, you may choose a preset by turning the dial on
the right side of the oven. The preset options will light up on the digital
display, with their default time and temperature settings. Please see
below for reference on the available presets.
• To select the preset with its default settings, simply push the knob
in and the unit will begin preheating.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
• If you wish to change the temperature for a preset, press “TEMP” on
the display with a light touch and the time display will turn off. Only
the temperature will be shown, and you may rotate the dial to adjust
the temperature from 400ºF to 1550ºF. Press TEMP again to confirm
the setting.
• To change the TIME, press “TIME” and the temperature display will
turn off. Only the time will be shown, and you may rotate the dial to
adjust the time from 30 seconds to 9 minutes and 50 seconds. Press
TIME again to confirm the setting.
• To begin cooking at your selected time and temperature, push the
knob in and the unit will begin preheating.
• The temperature reading will climb until it reaches the set value. The
unit will beep twice when fully preheated and the timer will begin to
countdown.
• To stop the preheating or cooking process, push the knob in. You
will have to reset the temperature, time, or preset to resume cooking.
• Always be sure the Drip Pan is in place at the bottom of the Searing
Oven before cooking your food.
• In order to use the Sear Tray, find the side that says “TOP” with an
arrow and square diagram. This square mirrors the heating element
on the top of the oven when the pan is inserted. Please make sure
to insert the pan with the arrow pointing towards the back of the oven,
so the square is directly under the heating element. Please see
below.
• For best results and even cooking, ensure your food is placed
entirely within the square on the Sear Tray.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED
• While your food is cooking, please be sure to watch it closely. The
oven uses high heat and your food may cook very quickly.
• Pull out the Sear Tray using the Guiding Handle to check your food.
Turn or flip your food as needed and slide the Sear Tray back in.
• The notch on the end of the Guiding Handle should be inserted from
the top of the Sear Tray down into the hole. Lower the handle so it
is level and parallel to the pan and you should be able to slide the
Sear Tray out. Please see below:
• When the timer reaches the halfway point, the unit will beep once to
alert you and will continue counting down.
• You may find that your food is done cooking before the timer reaches
zero, depending on your preferences. Please watch your food and
check often.
• When the timer reaches zero, the unit will beep once and then enter
standby mode. If you do not restart the oven, the fan will continue to
run until the unit is cooled down.
• If you feel that your food is not fully done or cooked as desired when
the timer reaches zero, you may repeat the cooking process with the
exact same settings by pressing either “Temp” or “Time” and push
the dial in to restart the oven.
• Please find the chart on the following page for recommended
cooking times for various foods.
• When you are done using the Searing Oven, the unit will return to
standby mode and the fan will begin running. This signals that the
unit is cooling down.
• Cool down time can vary depending on use. On average, it could
take between 5 and 10 minutes.
• Please make sure to switch the unit off and unplug after use.
“TOP” indicates the correct side of
the pan to cook on. The arrows

CLEANING
• Before cleaning, you should let the fan run through the full cooling
cycle after you are done cooking, until the fan turns off.
• Always ensure that the Searing Oven is unplugged from the power
supply and has cooled down completely before attempting to clean.
• The Drip Pan, Sear Tray, and Guiding Handle are dishwasher safe.
• To clean the interior once unplugged and cooled down, use a damp,
soft cloth or sponge and dish soap to wipe out the inside. Do not use
any harsh or abrasive cleaners to clean the item.
• Please note you should never attempt to clean the heating element
on the inside of the oven.
• To clean the exterior, use a damp towel or sponge to wipe the outside
surface and make sure to dry it completely with a clean, dry towel
before storing the item.
