The Asado Roast mode uses staged cooking
to allow larger items like whole chickens
or pork roasts to develop a crispy crust
while slowly cooking the interior. The
Even-Heat TM system distributes power to
the top and bottom heating elements to
maintain the desired oven temperature. The
convection fan will operate in the first stage
to assist with crisping the roast exterior, and
will then turn off to prevent over-drying.
Temperature & time information
in Asado Roast mode, the time and
temperature is set in 2 stages.
Stage I (Crisping)During Stage I, the
outer layer of your roast will crisp as the
interior begins to warm. The convection
fan will default to ON to assist with crisping
the roast exterior, but may be turned off, if
desired. Smaller cuts of meat may require
less crisping than larger roasts; please
consult your recipe.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook
food from above. The Even-Heat TM system
will distribute power to all three top heating
elements to deliver two levels of efficient
broiling. The bottom elements will not
be on.
Convection mode can be used with thin cuts
of fish, eliminating the need for flipping.
Broil mode tips
*For best results, use the 12" (30 cm)
multipurpose pan and rack. Jt is designed
to drain juices and help avoid spatter
and smoke.
*For proper draining, do not cover the
rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of
the multipurpose pan may be lined with
aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
*Foods cooked under the broiler will burn
very quickly if not monitored near the end
of their cooking times.
P_zza
_oast Bake
Reheat KeepWarm
* Pull oven rack out before turning
or removing food. Use tongs to turn
food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may
not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan and food
from the oven. Drippings will bake on
the pan if left in the heated oven, making
cleaning more difficult.
NOTE: For temperature and time settings
and options in Broil mode, see the "Cooking
modes" chart.
In Keep Warm mode, the Even-Heat TM
system distributes power to the top
and bottom elements to keep food
warm before serving.
Keep Warm Tips
• The preset temperature is 170°F, but you
may wish to adjust this depending on the
item being warmed.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving
temperature before it is placed in the
oven to keep warm.

their surface area is relatively small.
•Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening
the oven door only when necessary.
Reheat KeepWarm
•Cookies may finish cooking up to 30%
faster when using Convection Mode.
Check cookies before the expected finish
time to avoid overcooking.
NOTE: For temperature and time settings
and options in Cookie mode, see the
"Cooking modes" chart.
In Pizza mode, the Even-Heat TM system
distributes power to the top and bottom
heating elements to maintain the desired
oven temperature. The top center element
is off until the end of this mode. The last
stage of this mode will finish off the cheese
by browning with high heat.
Frozen Mode
Pizza setting wilt default to frozen mode. You
may use the Frozen button to provide extra
time for frozen pizzas to cook, or deselect it
when cooking freshly prepared pizzas.
Pizza mode tips
•For frozen pizzas, it is recommended to
follow time and temperature directions
included on the food packaging.
•Thin crust pizzas wilt cook faster and
more efficiently in Convection Mode
because their surface area is relatively
small. Place thin crust pizzas directly on
the oven rack for crispier crust. Please
keep in mind that convection can speed
up cooking time by up to 30%. You
should check pizza often in the final
minutes to ensure optimal results

Preheating your Countertop Oven is
important for consistent and even results.
Once you select your desired cooking mode
and any other settings, and press START,
Even-Heat TM Preheat saturates the oven
walls and cooking racks above the oven's set
temperature to remove cold spots that draw
heat away from food. This also helps the
oven stay at the desired temperature
when the door is opened for short periods
of time.
During preheating, the light ring around
the Start/Cancel button will be on, and
the Preheat indicator will show on the
LCD. Once the oven has reached the set
temperature, atone will sound to let you
know you can insert food and begin cooking.
Preheating is NOT necessary in all cooking
modes.
17

Are guesstimates for Toast Mode OK?
Experience will teach you how much time
to use for toasting various kinds of bread.
Frozen, dark, or whole-grain breads require
a longer time. Rye breads are the most
susceptible to over-toasting and spot
charring. Fresh, soft, or white breads
require a shorter time.
For foods that melt
When cooking small pieces of foods
or foods that wilt melt, use the multipurpose
pan. This will keep food from falling onto the
cooking elements.
To minimize cleanup
Spray the multipurpose pan with nonstick
cooking spray for easier cleanup when
cooking wet or sticky foods. Wash pan
thoroughly after each use to avoid buildup
of cooking spray.
Size limits for food and
cooking containers
For best results, food and/or oven-safe
containers (see "Food Cooking Tips"
section) must fit into the Countertop Oven
without touching the cooking elements or
inside walls of the Countertop Oven. The
door must close completely. This allows air
to circulate around the food, helping ensure
consistent cooking temperature.
For extended use
When cooking for a long time at high
temperatures, you may detect a slight
odor from the Countertop Oven insulation
materials. This is normal.
•Check food cooking progress through the
clear, tempered glass door window. Your
Countertop Oven will perform better and
be more energy efficient if you open the
door less often.
•If top of food item browns too fast, lower
the rack position or reduce temperature.
[f bottom of food item browns too fast,
raise rack position or reduce temperature.
Please remember that adding the
convection option could reduce the
needed cooking time by up to 30%.
•Remove all plastic and/or paper wrappers
from foods before cooking.
"Use only loosely covered oven-safe
containers. Airtight containers may cause
food to boil over or splatter.
•Although more energy efficient and faster
than traditional ovens, countertop oven
surfaces can become hot during cooking.
Touch only the door handle and knobs
during oven operation.
•Do not place items on top or near
Countertop Oven while in use. Only use
the included cooling rack to gently cool
food on the top of this oven.
•Replace cardboard, glass, or plastic lids
with aluminum foil for use in the
Countertop Oven.

a 6-cup (I .5 L) muffin pan, small baking
sheets, and I and 2 qt (0.95 mL and 1.9 L)
round, square, and rectangular casserole
dishes, may be used. The door must
close completely.
*Choose bakeware made of metal, ovensafe
glass, ceramic, or silicone.
•Use lowest oven rack position when using
deep, oven-safe glass or ceramic containers
and allow at least I" (2.5 cm) clearance
between the top of the container and the
upper cooking elements.
•Do not use glass lids. [f a cover is desired,
use a loosely fitted sheet of aluminum foil
shiny side up or down.
•Many convenience foods are packaged in
nonmetallic containers only suitable for
use in microwave ovens. Check package
directions to determine whether the
container is suitable for use in a regular
oven.

The crumb tray should be emptied andcleaned at leastafter every few cooking cycles,
or after anyspills.
