Using Your Mini Oven

Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional
stickers before using the stove top
oven for the first time.

To eliminate a choking hazard for
young children, remove and safely
discard the protective cover fitted to
the power plug of this appliance.

1. Place the mini oven on a level,

flat surface.

2. Set the element control dial to

3. Plug the appliance into a 230V or

240V power outlet. Switch on at
the power outlet.

4. Set the temperature control dial

to MAX and time for 15 minutes
using a separate timer.

This will eliminate any oil residue that
may have been used for packing
and shipping.

NOTE: The mini oven does
not have an inbuilt timer, so a
separate timer will be required
in order to measure cooking
duration. The appliance is not
intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or
separate remote control system.

When turned on for the first time,
the mini oven may give off vapours
for up to 15 minutes. This is due to
the protective substances on both
the oven heating elements and
hotplate heating element. It is safe,
not detrimental to the performance
of the mini oven and will dissipate
with use.

5. Allow the oven to cool. Insert the

accessories. The stove top oven is
now ready to use.

The Element Selection Dial

The element selection dial allows you
to select ‘top and bottom’ elements
‘bottom only’ element, ‘top only’
element, as well as ‘hotplate’ element.

= ‘Top element only’ for grilling.

= ‘Bottom element only’

for reheating.

.

= ‘Top & bottom elements’
together for roasting, toasting
and baking.

= Hotplate element for
heating and boiling.

NOTE: To turn off the mini oven,
always turn both oven and
hotplate temperature control
dials to the OFF ‘0’ positions and
switch off at the power outlet.

Heating Indicator Light

The heating indicator light will
illuminate as the oven is heating
and will turn off when the oven has
reached the selected temperature. It
will also cycle on and off throughout
the cooking process.

Pre-heating

For best results allow the mini oven
to pre-heat before using. Select the
desired temperature and select the
desired element setting. Place the
food into the mini oven and set a
separate timer to monitor the
cooking time.

Using the Hotplate

The hotplate is great for heating and
boiling and compliments the functions
of the oven.

Before use, wipe the stove with a soft
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

1. Ensure that the mini oven is on a

dry, level, heat resistant surface.
Completely unwind the power

temperature setting
(from 1- MAX). The temperature
settings are adjustable and can
be changed at any time during
the cooking process.

4. Plug the mini oven into a 230V or

240V power outlet and switch the
power outlet on. The heating light
will illuminate.

NOTE: When turned on for the
first time, the mini oven may give
off vapours for up to 15 minutes.
This is due to the protective
substances on both the oven
heating elements and hotplate
heating element. It is safe, not
detrimental to the performance
of the mini oven and will
dissipate with use.

5. Place a saucepan or cooking pot,

in which the food will be cooked,
on the hotplate.

NOTE: To achieve optimum
performance, ensure the
diameter of the cooking pot
or pan is no larger than the
diameter of the hotplate.

6. The heating light will illuminate

as the hotplate is heating and
will turn off when it has reached
the selected temperature. It will
cycle on and off throughout the
cooking process.

7. When cooking is finished, turn the

hotplate temperature control dial
to the OFF ‘0’ position. Turn the
power off at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord. Remove
the saucepan or pot from the
hotplate and place on a level,
heat resistance surface.

10

KOT630_IB_B11_FA.indd 10 11/07/11 11:57 AM

CAUTION: DO NOT touch
the hotplate during or
after operation. Wait for
the appliance to cool
before moving or storing.

Other functions can be used after
cooking on the hotplate. Use the
element selection dial to switch to
another function.

NOTE: Only one function can be
selected at any one time. The
oven and the hotplate cannot
be operated simultaneously.

WARNING: Do not
operate the appliance
without a cooking pot or
pan positioned on the
hotplate heating surface.

WARNING: Fully unwind
the power cord before
use. Do not allow the
power cord to come
in contact with the
hotplate. Do not move
the appliance until it has
completely cooled down.

WARNING: Always keep
in mind that the hotplate
will continue to radiate
residual heat after being
switched off.

WARNING: No more
that 5 litres of water
can be boiled at any
time. For more efficient
performance it is
recommended to use a
lid when boiling water.
