This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The
plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature
intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact a qualified elec-
trician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary an approved exten-
sion cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of
the oven. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it
will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
This appliance is equipped with a fully
tempered safety glass door. The tem-
pered glass is four times stronger than
ordinary glass and more resistant to
breakage. Tempered glass can break,
however it breaks into pieces with no
sharp edges. Care must be taken to
avoid scratching door surface or nick-
ing edges. If the door has a scratch or
nick, call our toll-free customer service
number.
Always unplug your oven from the
outlet when not in use.
Before First Use
Most heating appliances produce an
odor and/or smoke when used for the
first time. Plug the oven into an outlet.
Turn the Temperature Knob to 450°F.
Heat at this temperature for 10 min-
utes. The odor should not be present
after this initial preheating. Wash all
accessories before using.

Congratulations on the purchase of your Somersize Convection Oven and
Rotisserie. You will love the freedom of roasting and baking in this conve-
nient countertop oven. Whenever I entertain, it seems like I always run out
of oven space. This compact oven fits easily on your countertop, and frees
up room for your main dish, or for desserts and side dishes. It’s a lifesaver
during the holidays! Plus, you won’t believe how great your foods will taste
on the fabulous rotisserie.
This large capacity countertop oven will fit a 9-inch cake pan, a 12-inch
pizza, even a whole chicken! And the convection feature allows faster,
more even cooking, so many people find that they use this oven more than
their built-in oven. It even comes with a nonstick roasting pan for easy
clean up.
As for the Rotisserie feature, you won’t believe how moist and beautiful
your meat can be! I love this feature for lamb, beef, chicken and more. The
foods are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Delicious.
Happy Baking, Roasting and Rotisserieing!

Rub olive oil all over lamb roast. Make 1-inch deep cuts all over lamb roast using a
small, sharp knife. Insert garlic slices into cuts. Rub with sea salt rub or your own
seasoning blend.
Remove oven rack and bake pan. Secure lamb roast onto Rotisserie Rod using
Rotisserie Forks. Tighten screws to secure Forks on Rotisserie Rod. Insert pointed

harness on left side of oven wall. Insert oven rack and bake pan in lowest oven
position under the meat.
