IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the
following:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect yourself from electric shock, do not immerse the cord or plugs in water or other
liquid.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

• Unplug the oven from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the oven to
cool before putting on or taking off any parts.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Do not operate any appliance if
the appliance malfunctions or if it has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• Do not use accessories that are not recommended by the oven manufacturer, as this may
cause injury.

• Do not use the oven outdoors.

• Do not allow the cord to hang over the edge of the counter or table. Do not allow the cord
to touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place the oven on or near a hot gas or electric burner, and do not place it inside a
heated oven.

• Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

• Always attach the cord to the oven first and then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any controls to the “off” position and then remove the plug from the wall
outlet.

• Do not use the oven for anything other than its intended use.

• The exterior of the oven will become very hot during use. Do not touch hot surfaces
directly. Instead, use handles or knobs.

1

• When operating the oven, keep at least four inches of space on all sides of the oven to
allow for adequate air circulation.

• Do not clean the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or if it is touching or in close proximity to flammable
materials such as curtains, draperies, walls, and the like while it is in operation. Do not store
any item on top of the oven when it is in operation or before it cools down.

• Use extreme caution when using containers other than those made of metal or glass.

• Do not cover the crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating. Foil can be used to cover approved cooking containers.

• Do not place cardboard, plastic, paper, or anything similar inside the oven.

• Use extreme caution when removing trays or disposing of hot grease or other hot liquids.

• Do not store any materials other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories
inside the oven when not in use.

• The oven should always remain unplugged from the wall outlet when not in use.

• Always wear protective, insulated oven mitts when inserting or removing items from the
hot oven.

• This oven has a tempered, heat-resistant safety glass door. The glass is stronger than
ordinary glass and is more resistant to breakage. Tempered glass can break, but the pieces
will not have sharp edges.

• Do not place your eyes or face in close proximity to the tempered safety glass door in the
event that the safety glass breaks.

• Avoid scratching the door surface or nicking its edges. If the door has a scratch or nick,
contact our toll-free customer service line before using the oven.

2

• Always inspect the vent release valve to make sure that it is clear of any food particles or
other obstructions.

• Before opening the oven door, wait for the pressure to dissipate.

• Do not insert oversized food or metal utensils in the oven, as this may create a fire or a risk
of electric shock.

• To ensure continued protection from the risk of electric shock, connect the oven only to
properly grounded outlets.

OVEN DOOR & VENT RELEASE VALVE

When the door handle is in a horizontal position,
the oven door is locked and the vent release
valve is closed.

CAUTION: Before opening the oven door,
be sure to wait until the steam is completely
released in order to avoid hot steam injury.
Do not open the oven door frequently during
operation.

To unlock and open the door, rotate the door handle
downward. The vent release valve will discharge the
internal steam.

The door detector device recognizes when the oven
door is opened or closed. If the oven door is opened
during operation, the oven will automatically stop all
cooking functions and enter standby mode. When
the door is closed, the oven will recover automatically
and return to the previous cooking functions after
five seconds.

While cooking, the vent release valve will
intermittently discharge steam to stabilize the
pressure inside the oven. Never cover or block
the vent release valve.

To remove the vent release valve, pinch the cap and
gently raise it upward. Rotate counterclockwise until
it is fully removed. To attach the vent release valve,
align it and gently rotate in a clockwise motion until it
is fully attached.

8

OVEN INTERIOR & ACCESSORIES

The pan or rack can be placed on one of three
different levels, depending upon your specific
needs. The upper level will produce extra heat
from above, browning the top of your food. The
lower level will produce extra heat from below,
crisping the bottom of your food. The center level
provides a standard amount of heat.

For easy clean up, cover the top of the pan with
foil before cooking. When cooking meat or fish,
wrap the food in foil and place it on the pan. Be
cautious of any oil or food overflow. The pan can
be immersed in water for soaking and cleaning.

Insert the pan or rack horizontally between the
guides on both sides of the oven. The guides
should be cleaned regularly. To remove them
for cleaning, loosen the fixing screw by turning
counterclockwise and then pull the guides
outward.

When cooking meat, there may be scraps or
fluids that drip from the wire rack. The crumb tray
can be positioned in the bottom of the oven to
collect it. The wire rack can be immersed in water
for soaking and cleaning.

For easy clean up, cover the top of the pan with
foil before cooking. When cooking meat or fish,
wrap the food in foil and place it on the pan. Be
cautious of any oil or food overflow. The pan can
be immersed in water for soaking and cleaning.

Always use the removal tool when removing the
hot pan, rack, or tray from the oven in order to
avoid burn injuries. Be cautious of any oil or food
overflow.

USING THE ROTISSERIE (continued)

STEP 6:

Insert the pointed end of the rod into the hole at the right side of
the oven. Place the other end of the rod on the support bracket
at the left side of the oven.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• When cooking chicken and other poultry, it is recommended that you first truss the bird
by securing the legs and wings with kitchen twine. A loose leg or wing may be burned
by the heater.

• Before cooking, always place the crumb tray below the lower heater to catch the
drippings.

• When cooking is complete, use the rotisserie removal tool to remove the rotisserie from
the oven.

11

ANTI-BLOCK NUT

The anti-block nut is located on the inside of the oven door. Never block it or allow it to
become clogged. It should be cleaned regularly. To remove it for cleaning, loosen the nut
by turning it counterclockwise.

OVEN LAMP

Use the oven lamp button on the control panel to turn on the interior light. When you turn
on the light, it will turn off automatically after two minutes have elapsed. Press the oven
lamp button to turn on the light again, if desired.

The light bulb is sealed tightly to the oven with a special material. Do not attempt to
disassemble the light bulb yourself. If the light bulb is not working, please contact customer
service. (Contact information is provided on the Important Information page in this manual.)

12

CLEANING THE PRESSURE OVEN

Please clean your pressure oven regularly to ensure that it provides lasting service.

CAUTION – To avoid electric shock or burns:

• Unplug the oven before cleaning

• Allow the oven to cool down before cleaning

• Never immerse the oven in water

• Never allow water or cleaning fluid to run into the oven

To clean the oven, use a damp cloth with mild dish liquid to clean the inside and outside. Do
not use the oven again until it is fully dry.

To clean the accessories, wash them by hand in warm water with mild dish liquid. If they are
heavily soiled, allow them to soak for 20-30 minutes. Carefully dry all parts after cleaning.
The accessories are all dishwasher safe, including the rotisserie tools, wire rack, and handle,
baking pan, and drip tray.

Never use abrasive, corrosive, or caustic cleaning materials, as they could damage the oven.
Do not clean the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
