GENERAL INFORMATION

Use and Storage of the User Manual

Inside this user manual you will find information on how to properly use and maintain your Glass Bowl Convection Oven, including but not limited to, safety instructions and precautions, assembly and use instructions, frequently asked questions, and warranty conditions. Please store this user manual in an easily-accessible location for future reference.

Intended Use

Your Glass Bowl Convection Oven has been designed for food preparation as described in this user manual. DO NOT use this appliance for any other purpose. This product is intended for household use only.

Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan. In many cases, convection cooking provides significantly faster cooking versus conventional radiant ovens. The fan gently circulates air to every part of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor, producing an even temperature all around the food to cooks food more evenly versus conventional ovens that create hot and cold spots.

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

Read and understand all safety precautions. Failure to follow all instructions described in this user manual may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Electric Power

If an electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Glass Bowl Convection Oven may not operate properly. Your Glass Bowl Convection Oven should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

3-Prong Plug

Your Glass Bowl Convection Oven is equipped with a power supply cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

The plug must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Your Glass Bowl Convection Oven requires a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet with a 3-prong ground receptacle. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, DO NOT use that outlet. Improper use of the grounding plug and/or outlet can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but if necessary, the marked electrical rating must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of this product. DO NOT alter the plug of the appliance or any extension cord used with this appliance. Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

Before Use

1. Read all instructions.

2. Carefully unpack the convection oven and remove all packaging materials.

3. To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during

packaging, clean the surfaces with a warm, damp cloth and remove any stickers (except for any warning/caution stickers). Dry thoroughly.

NOTE: DO NOT use the dishwasher to clean any of the parts and accessories of the oven.

4. Wash the glass bowl in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5. Only operate the convection oven on a dry, level, stable and heat resistant surface.

6. The convection oven is to be stored and used under the following conditions:

a. Surrounding temperature cannot be lower than 40°F.

b. Relative humidity must not be higher than 80%. c. Aggressive impurities in the air are not acceptable.

7. Cover the glass bowl with the lid and ensure it is sealed correctly.

8. Insert the power cord firmly into the wall outlet.

9. Fold the handle until it snaps into place. The heating element and fan will only

activate if the handle is folded completely down. As a safety feature, the convection oven will switch off when the handle is lifted up. To turn the unit back on, swing the handle all the way down until it snaps into place.

10. Preheat the convection oven for 3 minutes before the initial use. This will burn off

any excess manufacturing or packaging oils. The

Timer Control Knob

must be

engaged for the unit to function.

NOTE: DO NOT touch hot surfaces. ALWAYS use the handles or control knobs. ALWAYS wear protective, insulated oven gloves and the provided tongs when inserting or removing items from the hot oven.

USE

ENG - 14

Operation

1. Place the high and/or low rack in the bowl and place food in the center of the rack(s) for the best air circulation. Allow about a ½-inch gap between the food and the bowl. Also, allow about a ½-inch gap between items on the same rack.

2. Set the

Timer Control Knob

using the Helpful Tips section as a point of reference.

Use the

Temperature Control Knob

to set the desired cooking temperature. The

Orange

and

Green Indicator Lights

will switch

Off

after the preset time period has passed

and a bell will sound momentarily to alert you that the cooking time is over.

4. After the food is cooked, it can be kept hot by turning the temperature down to 300°F.

Helpful Tips

All recommended cooking times are approximate. Times may vary depending on the type of cooking, temperature selected and your individual preferences. Always ensure food is fully cooked inside before serving. When cooking meats, always check the internal temperatures with a meat thermometer.

NOTE: Ensure the extender ring is properly assembled before use.

Extender Ring

USE

Cooking with the Extender Ring

If you need to cook something of a larger size such as a whole chicken, turkey, stuffed turkey, etc., you can place the extender ring on top of the bowl. The extender ring increases the size of the bowl, giving you the extra capacity you need for cooking.

Thawing Food

Although you can cook almost any food from frozen using the convection oven, the

Thaw/Wash

function allows you to thaw most frozen foods. Place the food onto one of

the wire racks and set the

Temperature Control Knob

Thaw/Wash

. Allow about 40 minutes of cooking time per 2.2 lbs. Large items like meat joints should be turned at least once during the thawing process. Any liquids or juices from thawed foods should be thoroughly cleaned from the bowl before cooking.

Frozen Food

Large items like meat joints or poultry cannot be cooked from frozen and must be thawed thoroughly first. However, some foods cook best from frozen. Simply follow the cooking instructions on the packaging as a guideline. It is often the case that cooking time is shorter in the convection oven as it is more efficient than a conventional oven.

Toasting

You can toast almost anything in the convection oven: bread, bagels, pizza, crumpets, and more. For best results, use the high rack and set the

Temperature Control Knob

to 430°F -

445°F, depending on your preference. It is unlikely that the item you are toasting will

need to be turned over halfway through cooking. The hot air circulation will usually toast both sides at once.

Grilling

As with toasting, items to be grilled should be placed on the high rack. The

Temperature

Control Knob

should be set between 430°F - 460°F. When deciding the best temperature

setting to use, consider the thickness of the food. A 1-inch thick steak will require a lower temperature and longer cooking time than a ½-inch thick steak. Remember frozen foods like burgers need a longer cooking time. You may wish to turn the food halfway through the grilling process to ensure even coloring.

NOTE: DO NOT cover the food while cooking.
