ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
Avoid Electric Shock
This product has a polarized power cord plug, meaning one blade on the
plug is wider than the other. The plug will fit into a polarized electrical outlet
only one way. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not force the plug
into an outlet. If the plug won’t fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still will
not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to modify the outlet. Do
not modify the cord plug in any way.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and it should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug. If the plug fails to fit into an existing outlet,
contact a qualified electrician to update the outlet.
Short Cord Instructions
Your Calphalon convection oven has a short power supply cord as a safety
precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from
becoming entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow children to be near
this appliance without adult supervision. Longer detachable extension cords
are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. A short powersupply cord should be used to reduce the risk 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 cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance and the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.

Setting the Controls
The First Use
ATTENTION
For the first use, we suggest preheating the convection oven without food to
burn off any oils used in the manufacturing process. The oven may emit a
light smoke or odor as it heats up during the first few minutes of operation.
This will dissipate quickly and is not a reason for concern.
1. When powered on, default settings for the convection oven are
displayed. The oven is set to Bake for 10 minutes at 350˚F with the
convection fan activated.
2. Turn the Temp/Shade knob to the right to select the highest setting
450˚F.
3. Press Start.
4. Allow the empty convection oven to complete the 10 minute baking
cycle while any light smoke or odor dissipates.
Sleep Mode: While setting the controls, please NOTE that if the
convection oven sits for three minutes without being activated, it will go into
Sleep mode. To bring the oven out of Sleep Mode, press any button.
Step 1: CHOOSE A RACK POSITION
7
Based on the desired cooking mode, move the rack, if needed, to the
appropriate position:
Top rack position – Broil
Middle rack position* – Toast, Bagel, Pizza and Cookies
Bottom rack position – Bake
*NOTE: The middle rack has a safety hook to prevent the rack from falling
out when removed. To remove the rack, tilt upward and pull forward. The
reverse process is needed to reinstall the rack.
Allow at least ½-inch of space between the pan of food and the heating
elements. Adjust the rack position, as needed, to allow proper clearance.
Make sure the rack is level and securely in place before moving to Step 2.
Step 2: SELECT A MODE
When powered on, default settings for the convection oven are displayed.
The oven is set to Bake for 10 minutes at 350˚F with the convection fan
active. Once a cooking mode is selected, a default time and temperature for
that setting is displayed. These settings may also be changed to suit
your needs.
Press the Mode button and select one of
six cooking modes:
Bake – Choose for traditional baked goods, as well as for roasted meats,
fish, poultry and vegetables.
Broil – Choose for broiling small cuts of meat, fish or poultry, and for
browning crumb toppings or melting cheese on top of foods.
Toast – Choose for toasting slices of bread, as well as bread products
such as toaster pastries and waffles.

Convection
If desired, press the Convection button to activate the
convection fan.
NOTE: The Convection option is available when

The convection fan circulates warm air in the oven, which browns foods and
creates a golden crust on baked goods. Using convection helps create more
even baking results.
Defrost
If desired, press the Defrost button for frozen foods.
NOTE: Defrost is available when using the following
modes: Pizza, Cookies, Toast or Bagel.
Choose defrost if you are cooking/toasting a frozen food such as frozen
bagels, pastry strudels, and pizza. The Defrost setting is customized for each
cooking mode selected. The Defrost setting extends the cooking cycle to
bake/toast frozen foods. Additional cook time may be required by the user.
Step 4: CHOOSE THE TIME

the left to decrease it.
Real Time Temperature Display – The convection oven is equipped
with real time temperature feedback. The LCD will display the current oven
temperature during the pre-heating phase in order to communicate the
pre-heat progress of the oven.
Once the oven temperature stabilizes to the desired set point, the oven will
no longer display real time temperature feedback. The temperature control
of the oven is designed to be highly accurate in order to achieve optimal
cooking results.
As a result, you will hear the thermostat turning on and off periodically
indicating that the oven is maintaining accurate temperature control.
Step 6: BEGIN COOKING
For Bake, Broil, Pizza or Cookie Modes:
1. Press Start to begin preheat. Preheating will flash
on the display until the selected oven temperature
is reached.
