Thank you for purchasing the new Fagor Tabletop Halogen Oven.

This oven can be used to grill, broil, bake, steam, roast or dehydrate – 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 1400W 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 onvection
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.

• Never place unprotected hands inside the oven when in use.

• Never leave the product unattended while in use.

• Please note: The handle on the lid works as a safety mechanism, if the lid is
not on properly or the lid is off the oven, it will automatically turn off.

• If baking cakes, for best results use a cake pan (Not included with the oven).

• Use the handle and wear oven gloves when lifting the lid from the glass oven.

• The lid should be placed on the lid holder, not directly on the countertop, when
taken off during operation. Placing the lid with the heating element facing down
on the countertop might damage your countertop or even cause a fire hazard.

• Always remove the lid away from you so that escaping steam is channeled
away from your face.

• Take care when removing the lid to avoid contact with hot liquid condensation
that may have collected on the inner surface of the lid.

• Be sure to allow the oven body to cool off before cleaning it with a damp cloth.

• Be sure to unplug the oven when it is not in use, when cleaning the oven or
whenever there is a known power failure. Remove the plug from the socket by
pulling on the actual plug, not by the cable.

• Use extreme caution when removing pans or cooking racks from the Halogen
Oven.

• Be careful when disposing of hot liquids, particularly fat or oil.

• Never immerse the cord, plug, or lid/control panel of the product in water or
other liquids.

• Re-tighten screws if base becomes loose.

Department at phone [phone].

cable supplied by Fagor.

will not turn on. Always use this handle to move the lid. To remove the lid, lift it
by the handle. Place it on the lid holder.

timer will switch the oven off after the preset time period has passed and an
alarm will ring momentarily to alert that the cooking time is up.

care not to place the hot lid directly on the table or countertop: this may create
a potential fire hazard or damage the furniture.

the heat source. Also recommended for achieving crispness or browning food.

NOTE: It is not strictly necessary to use either of the racks to cook in this oven,

However, it is recommended since it allows for better circulation of air which
results in more even cooking.

placed on the low rack. Requires little or no oil to cook.

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 is
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:

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.

Handle up: Power off

Handle up: Power off
