Halogen Oven Manual_Revn Nov10.indd Sec2:2			11/17/10 7:45 PM

Thank you for purchasing the new Fagor Tabletop Halogen Oven.

This oven can be used to grill, broil, bake, steam or roast – all while saving energy and cooking up to 25 - 50% faster than a conventional oven. It is also up to 75% more energy efficient. A powerful 1200 W halogen heating element helps to cook entire meals in a fraction of the time spent using a conventional oven. The oven heats up instantly, reducing pre-heating times while a convection fan circulates hot air internally to cook food uniformly and seal in natural juices for full flavor and aroma.

As the bowl is made of glass, you can clearly see what you are cooking from all sides and easily obtain the optimum cooking level for your meals. Also, this oven lends itself to healthy cooking. When meat, poultry or fish are cooked, fats and oils can drip away through the rack. In addition, this appliance is so compact, it can be used as an extra warming vessel for entertaining, or, as a primary cooking vessel in situations where space is limited such as in recreational vehicles, dorm rooms or even the office.

This user’s manual contains complete information on the use and care of this product. Please read this manual carefully before operating the Fagor Tabletop Halogen Oven to ensure proper usage and maintenance. Carefully following the directions in this booklet will enable you to optimize the performance and lifespan of the unit.

Getting Started

Read the safety instructions found in this manual before operating. Before using this appliance for the first time, follow these steps:

1.Remove all packing materials and literature from inside the oven.

Make sure the oven is in good condition and there are no missing parts or damages to the glass bowl.

2.Select a flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface to operate the halogen oven on.

3.Remove any dust or soil that may have accumulated on the surface of the product. Wipe thoroughly with a clean damp cloth. Wash the glass pot in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before use. NEVER submerge the lid in water or any other liquid. Only the glass cooking pot and racks are dishwasher safe.

4.Before first use, heat up the empty oven at maximum temperature for five minutes. This will eliminate any odors from within the oven. This also will burn off any excess lubricants, which were used during the manufacturing process.

A slight amount of smoke may be produced during the first few uses and is not considered a defect.

NOTE: the handle must be pushed down into a horizontal position to turn the oven ON. When the handle is in the vertical position, the oven will turn itself OFF. See illustration below:

ENGLISH

Handle up: Power off

Handle down: Power on

5.Allow the appliance cool to room temperature.

6.Wipe the inside of the glass pot a final time. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Halogen Oven Manual_Revn Nov10.indd Sec2:9			11/17/10 7:45 PM

Operating Instructions

	ENGLISH
		• Place the high and/or low racks in the glass bowl container before placing food
		inside. You may also cook directly in the glass bowl but it is recommended to
		use at least one of the racks to obtain better circulation and distribution of hot
		air within the unit. For best results, keep food approximately 1” to 1.25” from
		the glass wall to allow maximum hot air circulation. Foods may be cooked
		directly on the racks, on foil or in an oven-safe container.
		• Place top lid securely on the glass bowl. Make sure that the food does not
		touch the lid.
		• Plug the power cord firmly into the outlet.
		• Before turning the oven on, push the handle all the way down until it snaps
		securely in place. If it is not completely down the oven will not turn on.
		• Set the timer to the desired time. The red LED light will illuminate.
		• Select the optimum temperature. The green LED light will turn on, as well as
		the oven interior light. Both lights will turn off when the selected temperature is
		reached. If the inner temperature drops below the selected level, both lights will
		turn back on for short periods of time, indicating that the oven is heating up.
		• The timer and the red light will switch off after the preset time period is up and
		an alarm will sound to alert you that the cooking time is over.
		• When the cooking time is over, unplug the device from the outlet. Lift the lid and
		place it in the lid holder. NEVER put the hot oven lid directly on the countertop
		or table as this might cause damage to the furniture or cause a fire hazard.
		• Always use wooden, heat-proof plastic or nylon utensils while cooking. Metal
		utensils may scratch the glass bowl.

Cooking tips

Roasting

•Place food directly on the low rack. Using an oven safe pan on the rack is also optional. Using the high rack allows food to be positioned closer to heat source for additional crispness, browning or for foods to be cooked “well done”.

•Is not necessary to use oil for roasting, but you may do so for foods that tend to become dry in an oven.

•For a glazing effect, set the food 4 inches away from top heating unit. Apply the desired glaze and broil at 400 to 480 F until the desired shade of brown is reached. Fruit jams, preserves and jellies work well as a glaze for broiled foods.

•Roasting time may vary depending on the type of meat or other food, type of cut, amount of fat, thickness or weight of the item.

•When half the cooking time is up, flipping the food is recommended for even cooking.

Grilling

•Place food directly on the low rack, don’t use the frying pan.

•Brushing the rack with oil will help to avoid sticking.

•You may cover the bottom of the glass bowl with foil to catch fat and oil drippings. This will make the oven easier to clean.

Baking

•Use any oven-proof baking dish, preferably nonstick, that will fit comfortably inside the oven. Place it on the low rack. Take special care in following baking recipes, as desserts are especially delicate and easy to overcook. Lower the temperature slightly and turn the baking dish around if too much browning occurs.

Broiling

•Place food directly on the high rack. You may use the frying pan to broil as well; it should be placed on the high rack.

•Brushing the rack with oil will help to avoid foods from sticking to its surface.

•You may cover the bottom of the glass bowl with foil to catch fat and oil drippings. This will make the oven easier to clean.

ENGLISH

Halogen Oven Manual_Revn Nov10.indd Sec2:11			11/17/10 7:45 PM

Air Frying

ENGLISH	• Use the non stick frying pan placed on the low rack.
	• Little or no oil is used in this process, yet the effect is like pan-frying or deep
	frying. If oil is used, only a thin layer is necessary.
	• Once cooking is finished, promptly remove the lid from the glass cooking bowl,
	otherwise steam may cause the food to become soggy instead of crispy.
	WARNING: NEVER fill the glass bowl with oil. This appliance is not to be used
	as a deep fryer! Also, stop cooking immediately if food begins to burn.

Steaming

•To steam, place food in an oven safe bowl or pan on the low rack making sure that the container does not touch the sides of the oven and cover with foil. Pour water or broth into the bottom of the glass cooking bowl using half a cup of liquid for every pound of food. Cook at 350°F with correct suggested cooking times listed below.

Suggested Cooking Times

NOTE REGARDING COOKING TIMES:

Please note that these cooking times are approximate. Actual cooking times will vary depending on several factors such as size of the pieces, thickness of cut, quality & freshness of produce, and temperature of oven at start (if the oven has been used immediately before starting a new recipe, the cooking time will be slightly shorter than indicated).

Please make sure you test the food for doneness before removing from oven. Use a food thermometer if possible. If food is under cooked when the cooking time is up, turn the oven back on for a few additional minutes. Check on the food periodically while the oven is functioning; if you see excessive browning of scorching on the surface, flip the food over, lower the temperature slightly, or shorten the cooking time.

Cleaning and maintenance

	ENGLISH
		1.	Unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before performing any
			cleaning or maintenance.
		2.	Once glass bowl has cooled completely, clean all parts thoroughly with warm
			soapy water and a damp cloth. The glass bowl and racks are dishwasher
			safe.
		3.	To clean the fan cover, remove the screw and take the cover off to be
			washed in warm water with gentle detergent. Allow to dry completely before
			re-assembling.

NOTE: spraying the bowl and racks with cooking oil prior to cooking may facilitate easier cleaning

Self-cleaning - ‘Wash’ setting

This oven has a special self-cleaning setting labeled ‘Wash’ on the temperature control knob, which may be used to clean the glass bowl:

1.Remove excess food and drain away fat from the glass bowl.

2.Add approximately 1/2 inch of warm water into the glass bowl with a squirt of dishwashing liquid. Replace the glass lid and turn the temperature control to ‘Wash’.

3.Set the time control to 10 - 15 minutes, depending on how soiled the glass bowl is. The combination of heat, the swirling motion caused by the fan and the dish liquid will clean the glass bowl quickly and efficiently.

The cooking racks may also be left in the glass bowl when using the wash setting to soften any stuck-on residue.

4.Allow the oven to cool.

5.You may still need to use a sponge or scrub brush to remove stubborn deposits before rinsing and wiping dry.

CAUTION:

•Never immerse the lid, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

•If scrubbing is necessary, use a nylon or polyester mesh pad.

•Do not use a steel wool pad or abrasive material.

•Never use solvents or cleaning powder.

•Do not allow liquids to seep inside of the operating mechanism located on the underside of the lid.
