BEFORE USE
1. Carefully unpack the convection oven and remove all packaging materials.
2. Select a flat, heat-resistant, and non-flammable surface to place the convection oven.
3. Do not immerse the heating element or lid in water or any other liquid.

clean the surface with a damp cloth and remove any stickers (except for any warning/caution
stickers).
5. Wash the glass bowl container in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
6. Before first use, heat up the oven, empty, at maximum temperature for five minutes. This will
burn off the brand new scent. A little smoke may occur. This is normal and will soon
disappear during usage.
7. After the timer has turned off and the oven is completely cooled, wipe the inside of the glass
bowl container once more.

INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
CAUTION: ALWAYS PLACE A PAN OR BOWL ON TOP OF ONE OF THE INCLUDED
RACKS. DO NOT PLACE A PAN OR BOWL DIRECTLY ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE
GLASS BOWL CONTAINER.
1. Place the low rack in the glass bowl container before the food is placed. . Keep the food
approximately 1 to 1.25 inch from the glass wall to allow maximum hot air circulation.
NOTE: High rack is used for achieving crispness or browning of the food.
2. Place the top lid securely on the glass bowl container.
NOTE: Make sure that the food does not touch the heating element located on the bottom of
the lid.
3. Insert the power cord firmly into the wall outlet.
4. Use the temperature control knob to set the desired cooking temperature (250 F to 480 F).
5. Set the timer to the desired time (5 to 60 minutes). The power light (red) and heat light
(green) will illuminate.
6. Fold the handle until it snaps into place. The heating element and fan will only activate if the
handle is folded completed 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.
7. The timer 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.
8. Use the tongs to lift the rack (with food) out of the bowl.
9. Unplug the cord from the power outlet before removing the lid.
10. Do not put the oven lid directly on the countertop, table or cooking surface, otherwise, the
cooking surface may stain.

BENEFITS TO COOKING WITH HALOGEN OVEN
1. It roasts, grills, bakes, fries, barbecues, reheats, and even steams food perfectly.
2. The transparent glass bowl allows you to view your food while it’s cooking.
3. The Halogen Oven combines a circular glass bowl, heating element and a fan mounted in
the lid to circulate hot air. This creates a “convection” effect that constantly circulates superheated air to cook and brown foods quickly and thoroughly.
4. The cooking racks allow you to cook two levels of food at the same time.
5. Does the work of 10 cooking appliances: standard oven, toaster oven, broiler oven,
microwave oven, deep fryer, slow cooker, grill, rotisserie, electric frying pan, and electric
steamer.
6. It’s portable. You can take it with you when you move or travel.
7. The Halogen Oven is considerably more efficient than a standard oven. Cooks up to 30%
faster than a standard oven.
8. Has a built-in WASH setting that makes cleaning easy and fast.

COOKING TIPS
Broiling and Grilling
1. Place food directly on the low rack without covering. Use the high rack to bring food closer to
heat source for additional crispness and browning of food.
2. If the meat or fish is very lean, brush the rack with cooking oil before arranging the food on the
rack.
3. For a glazing affect, set the food 4 inches away from top heating unit.
4. Apply the desired glaze and broil at 400ºF to 475ºF until the desired shade of brown is
reached. Fruit jams, preserves and jellies work well as a glaze for broiled foods.
Baking
When baking cakes, biscuits, brownies, muffins and cookies make sure the containers fit within the
glass bowl and on top of rack. Disposable aluminum foil mini-loaf pans work well as they allow for
faster and even cooking. Preheating is not necessary for baking in a convection oven.
Air Frying
1. Little or no oil is used, yet the effect is like pan-frying or deep frying. If oil is used, only a thin
layer of oil should be evenly applied to the food with the aid of a pastry brush.
2. Spray or brush vegetable oil onto the rack to assist with easier removal of cooked food.
3. Once food has finished cooking, remove the top lid from the glass bowl, otherwise, the steam
will cause the food to become soggy instead of crispy.
NOTE: NEVER FILL THE GLASS BOWL WITH OIL. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT TO BE USED
AS A DEEP FRYER!
Steaming
1. Place food in a bowl or small pan on top of the low rack, making sure that the food does not
contact the sides of your container.
2. Pour water or broth into the bottom of the bowl or pan using half cup of liquid for every 1 lb of
food.
3. Cover tightly with aluminum foil making sure food does not come in contact with the foil.
4. Place wrapped container into the oven and cook at 350ºF for 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon
individual taste.
RECIPES
All cooking times are approximate. Always ensure that food is fully cooked inside before serving.
The following recipe, temperature settings and cooking times are for guidance only; cooking times
may vary according to the weight of the food being cooked and individual taste.
