2. Plug the cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet. The Countertop Oven should be the only appliance operating on the circuit.

3. The Countertop Oven is now ready to use.

Understanding Positions

of the Wave-Rack™Oven Rack

Food cooks uniformly as warmed air moves around the Wave-Rack™ oven rack. Up to 6 slices of bread may be placed directly on the rack for toasting. This unique 4-position rack also holds the broil pan with grill, baking pans or dishes, and standard bakeware. Here is a guide to adjusting your Wave-Rack™ oven rack for optimal cooking performance.

Position A

Use the upper slots along oven walls. Slide in the Wave-Rack™ oven rack, using a rack-up orientation.

Baking (and reheating)

with the Countertop Oven

Both the top and bottom elements will cycle on and off while baking in order to maintain the desired oven temperature. Suggested Positions: When first using the oven, position the Wave-Rack™ oven rack as shown by Position C in ”Understanding Positions of the Wave-Rack™ Oven Rack” on page 8. Then, adjust as needed for your cooking situation. Remember to allow space for food to rise.

1. Place the rack in a low position so that the food to be baked or heated will be in the center of the oven.

2. Close door.

3. Turn the Function control knob to Bake.

4. Turn the Temperature control knob clockwise to the desired temperature. Bake according to package or recipe instructions (usually 350° – 425°F).

5. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes for baking (and reheating) by turning the Time control knob clockwise past the 10 minute position, then moving it back to a 5 position. After 5 minutes, the bell will sound and the oven will automatically shut off.

6. Place the food in the center of the rack. Close door.

7. Turn the Time control knob clockwise to the desired time. When the time has elapsed, the bell will ring and the oven will automatically shut off. Turn the Time control knob to 0 (off) if food is removed before the time has elapsed.

8. For longer cooking times, make two settings of the Time control knob. Example: For a total of 45 minutes, make one 30 minute setting with the Time control knob. Then, when time elapses, set for an additional 15 minutes. When the food is done, remove pan and grill from the oven.
