SAFEGUARDS & INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and WARNINGS The failure to follow any of the import-
ant safeguards, warnings, or instructions for safe use is a misuse of the Bravo XL that
can void your warranty and create the risk of serious injury. When using the Bravo XL,
only use the appliance as intended and for no other use, and always follow basic safety
precautions.
ALWAYS KEEP THIS MANUAL HANDY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. Read all instructions.
2. Ensure the Bravo XL and all parts are clean and dry before each use.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. The appliance’s surfaces may be hot during and after use.
Use handles.
4. Discard the protective plastic covering the power plug before use.
5. Do not let the electrical cord touch hot surfaces or hang over any edge.
6. Do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid.
7. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. This ap-
pliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, children, or persons with a lack of experience or knowledge, unless super-
vised or instructed in the use of the appliance by one responsible for their safety.
8. Do not operate if the Bravo XL or cord malfunctions or has been damaged in any way.
Return the unit to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
9. Use only on a clean, stable, dry, and level surface.
10. Do not use accessories or attachments not recommended by the

13. Unplug the appliance when not in use and allow the appliance to cool completely

free space behind, to the sides of, and on top of the Bravo XL.
15. Use aluminum foil to wrap foods that produce oil or juice when operating and attach
the Grill/Griddle or use the Drip/Baking Pan to catch drippings and prevent re.
16. To prevent re, do not allow any foil to touch the heating elements.

ing curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item

SAFEGUARDS & INFORMATION
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce
the risk of becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. Longer detachable pow-
er-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over any countertop or
tabletop where it could be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally.
3. The Bravo XL should be operated on a separate electrical outlet from other operating
appliances due to wattage limitations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: Read and understand the entire manual before using the
Bravo XL.
Power-Supply Cords

ASSEMBLY GUIDE
1. Remove and discard any packaging material from the unit.
2. Remove all accessories from their packaging and wash them in warm, soapy water or
in the dishwasher, top rack only, except for the Probe. NEVER submerge the main unit
in water.
While most of the accessories are dishwasher-safe, the Probe is not. Hand washing is,
therefore, highly recommended. Frequent dishwasher cleaning may lead to premature
wear.
Before First Use
1. Place the Bravo on a level, even, and stable heat-resistant surface.
2. Slide the Cooking Rack(s) into Position 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the Bravo.
3. Place Baking Pan with Broiler Rack on Cooking Rack in Position 1.
4. Place the Air Fry Basket on top of Baking Pan. We recommend you use the Air Fry
Basket with the Baking
Pan to optimize cooking results.
5. Place Crumb Tray into position by sliding it into slot at bottom
of Oven. To remove, push down slightly and pull out.
6. Plug the appliance into a standard wall socket. The power plug is located in the rear of
the unit.
Notes:
Do not cover or block the air vents on the Bravo, as doing so can prevent proper ventilation.
Notes:
Use Position 1 for chicken or other large items (with the Baking Pan and Broiler Rack) as
shown above, and with pizza when you want a crispier crust.
