Countertop Oven Use Tips

Setting very short times
When setting timer for 5 minutes or less,
turn the Time control knob beyond the
10-minute mark. Then, turn the knob
back to the desired time.
Are guesstimates okay?
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. Fresh, soft or white
breads require a shorter time.
For foods that melt
When cooking small pieces of foods or
foods that will melt, use the broil pan.
This will prevent food from falling onto
the cooking elements.
To minimize cleanup
Spray the broil pan with nonstick cooking
spray for easier cleanup when cooking
wet or sticky foods. Wash pan thoroughly
after each use to prevent buildup of
cooking spray.
• Check food cooking progress through
the clear, tempered glass door window.
Your Countertop Oven wiII be more
energy efficient if you open the door
less often.
• Be sure all foods and/or containers fit in
the Countertop Oven without touching
cooking elements or preventing door
from closing.
• 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.
