Accessories:
The baking tray and rack can be slotted into any of the four slats inside the oven, depending on the
food you want to cook. For example, if you are cooking a roast chicken, you would place the tray on
the lowest slots of Mini Oven. If you are cooking a dish and would like the top part browned and
cooked the most, you would place the tray on either the top or second slot.
Troubleshooting
Questions Answers
Food is cooking too
slowly, too quickly, or
burning.
The oven temperature may be too low or high.
If food is cooking too quickly, try lowering the shelf. If food is cooking too
slowly, move the shelf up.
Steam is coming
from the oven.
This is a normal occurrence when cooking foods with high water
content.
Take care when opening the oven as steam may escape when you open
the door.
The oven is not
cooking evenly.
Check you are using the correct temperature for the recipe as the
temperature may be too high.
The food/dish may not be placed centrally on the tray.
There is a smell of
burning in the oven.
There may be a build-up of grease in the oven or on the wire rack.
Always wipe down the oven inside after use, once it has cooled
completely. Always wash the wire rack after each use to remove any
grease build-up.
Cleaning & Care
It is important that you clean the appliance after each use to prevent an accumulation of grease and
avoid unpleasant odours.
• Excess grime may also increase the cooking times.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils to clean the oven, as scratching may weaken it
and cause shattering.
