SAFETY & WARNINGS

•Do not cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the oven.
•Oversize foods, metal foil packages and utensils must not be inserted into the
appliance, as they may present a risk of fire or electric shock.
•A fire may occur if the appliance is covered, or touching flammable materials such
as curtains, draperies, or walls when in operation. Do not store any items on top of
the appliance when in operation. Do not operate the appliance under wall
cabinets.
•Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, presenting a risk of electric shock.
•Do not attempt to dislodge food when the appliance is plugged into an electrical
outlet.
•Use the recommended temperature settings for all cooking/baking, roasting and
air frying.
•Do not rest cooking utensils or baking dishes on the glass door.
•Turn the time and temperature dials to the off position to turn off the appliance.
•Do not operate your appliance in a cupboard or under a wall cabinet. When storing
in a cupboard, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the cupboard or
the door touches the unit as it closes.
•Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
•To disconnect from power, turn both the time and temperature dials to “off”, then
remove the plug from the wall outlet.
•Fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material,
including curtains, draperies, walls etc, when in operation. Do not store any item on
top of the appliance when in operation.
•A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
•Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an
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 edges.
For household use only, not intended for commercial use.
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of fire, NEVER leave the appliance
unattended during use.

centred on the shaft. Slide the forks onto the shaft from either end into the meat, and then
lock them in place with the set screws, aligning them with the indentations on the shaft. You
can adjust the screws closer to the middle if needed, but never further outward towards the
ends.

C: Baking pan
The baking pan can be placed in any of the three rack positions and can also be used as a
drip tray below other racks.
D: Air fryer basket
The Air fryer basket is grated to allow air to pass through the basket for even cooking. The air
fryer basket can only be used in conjunction with either the baking pan or on the wire rack.
The air fryer basket should be placed in the middle rack position unless a recipe states
otherwise.
E: Spit removal tool
The removal tool is used to easily remove items on the rotisserie, such as whole chickens.
F: Removable crumb tray
The crumb tray slides out from the bottom front of the appliance for easy cleaning. Always
ensure that the crumb tray is placed underneath the bottom heating elements whenever

•Unplug the appliance and allow it to completely cool before cleaning. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a
clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleaning agent to a cloth, not
directly onto the surface of the appliance. Do not use excessive pressure when
cleaning the area of the control panel as it could cause the text to be removed over
time.
•To clean the interior walls and bottom of the oven (remove the crumb tray first), use
a damp soapy cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products
including oven cleaner sprays, as these could damage the oven surface. Never use
steel wool pads on the appliance or accessories.
•The wire rack, baking pan, air fryer basket and crumb tray should be hand-washed
in hot, sudsy water using a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush. These parts are not
dishwasher safe.
•Always clean the crumb tray after each use. Excess food particles could cause
smoking and will be hard to remove from the tray. To remove baked-on grease or
burnt food particles, soak the crumb tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive
cleaners. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
•The rotisserie shaft, forks, screws, and removal tool can be cleaned with a cloth or
sponge in hot, sudsy water. For stubborn stains soak them in hot sudsy water
before cleaning.
•The top interior of the appliance should be cleaned to remove excess grease that
may accumulate after cooking greasy foods or after using the rotisserie function.
Doing so will prevent smoking in the oven during subsequent uses.
