Congratulations on the purchase of your NuWave Elite Infrared Oven! This book contains detailed instructions and images to help you get started using this revolutionary product, designed to help individuals and families “Live Well for Less®.” It is also filled with great recipes and time-saving tips that empower you to prepare delicious gourmet meals in half the time it would take when using a regular oven.
Cooking is fast and easy with the NuWave Elite Infrared Oven from NuWave, LLC. This versatile counter top appliance combines infrared, conduction and convection heat to save time and energy, while cutting calories and fat from your diet. Cooking in the NuWave requires neither preheating nor defrosting. Just place frozen food in the oven and press the buttons to program time and temperature. For added convenience, the oven utilizes a layered cooking system that enables multiple foods to cook at the same time without mixing or mingling flavors.
Preparing foods with the NuWave Elite Infrared Oven is a healthy choice. No butters or oils are required when cooking, and its unique design drains two to three times the amount of fat drippings when compared with a conventional oven. And because vegetables cook faster, they retain the essential nutrients that would have burned away with a standard oven.

Connecting Power Head to Dome
Assembling the Full NuWave Oven
NuWave® Elite Infrared Oven
Assembly Guide
Lock
Place Power Head on the rim of the Dome and lock it into place by rotating the power head clockwise until the locking lugs are engaged.
Place Base Tray on a firm, stable surface.
Place Liner Pan inside Base Tray.
Place dual level Cooking Rack on the Liner Pan according to cooking requirements.
Place food on the rack.
Place Dome over food, connecting to the Base Tray. The Dome should fit evenly onto the base.

BEFORE USING:
Prior to the first use of your NuWave Elite, wash Dome, Liner Pan, Base, and Cooking Rack in warm soapy water or run through a dishwasher cycle.
IMPORTANT - Do not wash or immerse Power
Head in water or cycle through dishwasher. The outer surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with a damp dishcloth or sponge.
Owner’s Manual10
Page 11
Step 3
Place the assembled Power Head and Dome at a 45° angle on the holder as shown.
Lift dome only by using the handles on the Power Head. Once the Power Head and the Dome are assembled, the handles will allow you to lift both simultaneously when removing or checking food. When removing Liner Pan after cooking, use oven mitts and exercise extreme caution.
For best results, follow the time, temperature, and Cooking Rack height instructions provided in the cooking chart and recipe book.
No pre-heating required.
How to Install and Use Dome Holder
Make sure the Power Head is tightly locked onto the Dome. The whole assembly can be easily lifted and put aside as shown in steps 1, 2 and 3.
Step 1
Place Dome Holder under either side of base handle.
Step 2
Make sure both feet of the Dome Holder are situated inside the handle, and the Dome Holder is resting horizontally on a flat surface.

Owner’s Manual
Page 12
If your NuWave Elite included a 3-inch and/or 5-inch Extender Ring, the Ring(s) can be used for multi-level cooking or for oversized food items that may not fit under the standard dome. Generally, foods (such as a ham or turkey) that exceed 10 lbs. would require the use of the Extender Ring(s) for optimal cooking.
• Place foods that require the longest cooking time on the rack closest to the heating element (ex. potatoes, carrots), and place soft vegetables on the lower racks (ex. mushrooms, tomatoes).
• When choosing the multi-level cooking option, use food combinations that take roughly the same amount of time to prepare. Examples: pork or chicken and potato wedges; fish and stewed tomatoes; or frozen beef with baked potatoes.
• Place tin foil under any foods that might drip onto other dishes.
Directions
The Extender Ring should be positioned between the original dome and the base. The addition of the Extender Ring will
expand the NuWave Oven’s available
cooking space by approximately 440 cubic inches when using the 3-inch Ring and 730 cubic inches using the 5-inch Ring. When adding the Extender Ring to the NuWave Oven, make sure it fits snugly onto the dome. When the Ring is placed under the dome incorrectly, the overlapping edges will not fit together properly. Please use caution when using the Ring. If improperly used, heat or steam could escape from the oven which could cause burns or alter the necessary cooking times of your foods. The Extender Ring should only be used as an accessory item with the NuWave Elite. It is not intended to serve as a replacement for the dome, base, or any other components of the appliances.
Models Containing 3-inch & 5-inch Extender Ring
• Remember that the infrared rays do not penetrate the aluminum as heat circulates throughout the oven.
• If top layer foods finish cooking earlier, remove rack(s) from above and continue cooking bottom foods until done.
• You can use any shallow, oven-safe dishes for cooking.
• To warm bread, place it on the bottom rack or liner pan and cover. To grill, place bread on the top rack.
General Rules
Owner’s Manual12

2-inch Rack
The 2-inch rack for the NuWave Elite Oven can be used in a variety of ways.
1] It can be the primary rack with or without the Extender Ring.
2] With the Extender Ring, it can be positioned on top of or under the 3-inch rack for more multi-level cooking space.
3] Without the Extender Ring, the 2-inch rack can also facilitate multi-level cooking by creating a third cooking surface between the liner pan and the bottom of the 3-inch rack.
4] You may use two extra 2-inch racks above and below the 3-inch rack, which is especially useful for dehydrating.
Care and Use
The Extender Ring is constructed from high-impact stainless steel. It should not be cleaned with harsh abrasives, but it is dishwasher safe.
Models Containing Extender Ring Kit
Do not touch the dome or any surface on the cooking area during operation. The air inside the dome can
reach 420°F (216°C) which makes the surface very
hot and may cause burns. Do not open the dome or remove the power head while the NuWave Oven is
operating. Turn off the power before removal.

THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTS
The infrared cooking system including power head, dome, cooking rack, liner pan, base, and all electrical components are to be free from defects and workmanship
under normal household use, when operated in accordance with the Manufacture’s
written instructions provided with each unit for one (1) year from date of purchase. The Manufacturer will provide the necessary parts and labor to repair any part of the
IMPORTANT TIPS:
1. Check the power outlet to ensure proper operation. Do not operate the unit simultaneously with other major appliances plugged into the same outlet. Check the cooking temperature if the oven is cooking too slowly.
2. The electrical plug must be properly inserted into the outlet.
3. Always turn off and unplug the oven before washing.
4. Moisture may result inside the dome if food is not removed promptly after the cooking time has expired. Steam/moisture build up can be avoided by doing the following:
• Remove food promptly after it is finished cooking.
• If it is desirable to keep the food warm until served, reset cooking time to a lower temperature.
FROM THE NUWAVE CHEF:
For best results, we recommend that the food (meats, poultry, and fish) is removed immediately from the oven after cooking to rest. Resting prevents overcooking, and taking the time to let the food rest will ensure that it is moist, tender, and juicy at the desired doneness. Remove the food from the oven; place it on a plate or serving platter; and cover it loosely with a foil. This will allow the juices that were driven to the center of the food during cooking to be redistributed throughout the food and reabsorbed. Be careful not to wrap the food too tightly as that may result in sweating and will lead to loss of moisture you want to keep in the food. Resting times will vary depending on the size of the food. As a general rule, roasts and whole chickens should rest 15 to 30 minutes before carving. Steaks, chops, and chicken breasts should rest at least 5 minutes. A good rule of thumb is rest 1 minute for every 3.5 oz.

COOKBOOK
Page 27
This recipe book contains valuable information that will help you start incorporating the NuWave® Elite Infrared
Oven into your daily life. We’ve provided
easy-to-prepare recipes, along with helpful tips at the beginning of each section that will help you achieve perfect cooking results every time. Also visit NuWaveCookingClub.com for other great tips and instructional videos.
General Tips
Metal containers, aluminum foil or any oven-safe dish can be used in the NuWave® Elite Infrared Oven. The infrared rays will not penetrate through these materials. Lightweight aluminum foil works best for lining shallow dishes and pans. Cover food with aluminum foil to protect from browning more than preferred. Keep in mind that heat will still circulate, but the foil may slow the cooking time of the food beneath.
Steam build up can occur when cooking foods that contain a lot of moisture, like vegetables or fish.
General Tips
When your cooking cycle is complete, please remember to lift the dome so that steam is channeled away from your face.
To keep prepared foods crisp, such as egg rolls, chicken tenders or pizza, remove the dome immediately after cooking.
Timing is the key to perfection with the NuWave™ Oven Elite. Keep in mind that all cooking guidelines are just that, and may need to be adjusted depending on the specific situation. When cooking larger dishes such as roasts or other foods with varying thickness, suggested cooking times may need to be extended. Cook in 2 minute increments and check after each interval.

Breakfast
Bacon: Cook at 400 degrees for 3-4 minutes per side, on the 3-inch rack. For extra crispy bacon, flip and cook for an additional minute. Sprinkle on brown sugar for a sweet taste. For easy clean up, place aluminum foil in the liner pan. Once the grease solidifies, discard the foil.
There is no boiling water required to prepare hard boiled eggs: Place eggs on the 1-inch rack and cook at 275 degrees for 11-12 minutes. Remove the eggs promptly, letting them cool completely
for 5 minutes. Run under cold water or place in a bowl of cold water for easy shell removal. Egg substitutes can be used in any recipe.
Warm pre-made muffins, breads or pastries: Simply wrap in aluminum foil and place in the liner pan during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
Place bagels, English muffins or bread on the 3-inch rack and cook at 375 degrees for about 2-4 minutes.

Tips for Breakfast
Page 29
Soak favorite bread in egg substitute and roll in corn flake crumbs. Place bread on 3-inch rack and bake at 375 degrees for 4 minutes per side. Top with low-calorie syrup or fruit and you have a crispy, healthy, and delicious breakfast!
Combine all ingredients except bread. Stir until smooth. Arrange bread slices in one layer in a baking dish. Pour 1/2 of liquid into the 8x8-inch silicone baking pan. Add 4 remaining pieces of bread. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Place baking dish on 1-inch rack and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Cover with foil or parchment for the first 10 minutes, allowing foil to hang out from oven. Cook for 8 more minutes at 375 degrees. If you seal foil too tightly the food will not cook properly. (2-4 servings)
Cinnamon Breakfast Twists
1 package refrigerated bread sticks 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside. Pour melted butter into a pie plate. Dredge bread sticks in butter one at a time and then place into the sugar mixture one by one. Toss to coat. Hold bread stick by each end and twist. Set on 3-inch rack and bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes, turning once; this will make the twists nice and crisp. Bake for 9 minutes if a softer twist is desired. (4 servings)
Tip: Brush a beaten egg on bread stick and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or grated cheese.

Poultry should be turned halfway through cooking time for even browning.
To use your favorite dry seasonings on frozen poultry, run meat under cold water first. This will allow seasonings to adhere.
Brush sauces on fresh poultry so the seasonings bake right in.
To save time and for extra flavor, marinate poultry in a sealed bag or container and freeze into separate servings. When ready to prepare, refer to the cooking guide for appropriate cooking times.
To prevent poultry from browning too fast, place aluminum foil over the top. Be sure to secure aluminum foil to the sides of the rack or extend outside the oven to prevent the internal fan from moving foil around during the cooking process.
Turkey Tip: Start cooking turkey, breast side down, for the first half of cooking time. When you flip turkey breast side up, if there are giblets, the insides should be thawed enough to remove them at this time. During the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking, stuff cavity with your favorite stuffing and resume cooking.
Tips for Poultry
Poultry: White meat will be white; thigh
meat near the bone will have no pink color, and the juices will run clear.
*Using a meat thermometer is essential for checking the internal temperature (Chicken: 165 degrees, Turkey: 160 degrees) of the meat.

Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is a soy product that comes in a variety of forms and flavors. It is high in protein and has little or no carbohydrates. To bread poultry, meat or vegetables, place the TVP in a food processor or blender and grind until fine. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to 1 cup of fine TVP and cook in the NuWave Elite for 5-6 minutes or until crunchy. Refrigerate until used as breading, or simply sprinkle over recipes to create a crunchy texture. TVP also comes in small dice-sized chunks that can be used as croutons in salads and soups. Keep a supply on hand to use as a replacement for bread crumbs, crackers, corn flakes or other high carbohydrate ingredients.

When converting your own recipe to NuWave Oven methods always use the Extender Ring, 1-inch rack and bake at 300 degrees the first time. You can always adjust from there. Keep in mind the heating element is at the top, so crust will need to be baked first. With that in mind, certain recipes may have two steps, like a bar cookie for example. The use of glass and ceramic pans will increase cooking time. Recipes in this book have been tested in silicone and metal pans. For multi-layer baking use the Silicone Baking Ring. Recipe temperatures will typically need to be set at 250 degrees rather than 300. Remember to adjust accordingly when using your own recipes. Because the NuWave retains moisture in baked goods, your recipe will stay fresh longer than recipes made in conventional ovens when stored properly.
For cakes, cookies, muffins and more, adding the Extender Ring will control even browning. Depending on recipe directions, place cookies around perimeter of the liner pan (try not to place directly under Power Head). For bottom crust pies, bake crust alone for 15-20 minutes, at 350 degrees. Add pie filling and cook remaining time as directed. If a recipe calls for a glaze, spread it on during the last 5 minutes to prevent overcooking. For better results while preparing desserts and breads, reduce temperature to 300 degrees. Place the dish on 1-inch rack. Revert to original directions instead of decreasing the time by 20 percent.

Dough Does Not Rise
Is the yeast you’re using too old? You
may need a fresh stock.
The water used may have been too cool to activate the yeast or so hot that it killed it. Water should be room temperature.
If the dough is too stiff, it may require further softening.
The rising point may be too cool. Keep in mind that mixing or kneading for too long causes tough dough, and results in bread not rising.
Bread Falls While Cooking in the Oven It is possible that the dough rose too much or became too light.
Tops of the Bread Loaves Are Cracked
This can occur when bread cools too rapidly, usually the result of a draft.
Your dough may also be too stiff or not mixed well.
Bread Is Doughy On the Bottom This is a common occurrence when loaves are not removed from pans and allowed to cool on racks after baking. Make this a habit.
Bread Has Holes in It
Your loaves may develop holes if air was not completely pressed out of dough when loaves were shaped. Be sure to do so prior to baking.
Bread Smells & Tastes of Yeast It is possible that expected rising periods were simply too long.
Your bread may need some buttermilk. Mix 1 tablespoon vinegar to 8 ounces milk.

Asparagus
Dehydrate at 120 degrees for 4.5 hours
Green beans
Dehydrate at 120 degrees for 5.5 hours
Mushrooms
Dehydrate at 120 degrees for 4-5.5 hours
Summer squash
Cut 1/4-inch slices, dehydrate at 120 degrees for 4.5-5 hours
Tomatoes
Cut in half and removes seeds, dehydrate at 120 degree for 7.5-8 hours
Sweet Peppers
Cut into 1/2-inch long strips, dehydrate at 120 degrees for 7 hours
Herbs
Wash and dry. Leave on stems and place on racks. Place herbs on racks and dehydrate at 120 degrees for 1 hour for more delicate herbs like thyme, and cook for 1.5 hours for hardier herbs like rosemary. Place rack over herbs to prevent herbs from flying around.
Dehydrating Fruits
Note: Use pan on 3-inch rack and cook
at 350 degrees.
Pecan or almond pieces, 3-4 minutes. Coconut unsweetened and shredded, 1-2 minutes.
Whole nuts can be roasted on two layers: For example, start one layer on liner pan for 6 minutes and then place another pan, filled with nuts, on 3-inch rack and continue for another 5 minutes. This doubles capacity!
Alternate all foods when dehydrating. Non-stick cooking spray will help avoid sticking. When dehydrating, keep dome open slightly to let moisture escape. Do not let dome stay on when oven is off as this will cause moisture build-up.
If using dehydrating kit, no need for non­stick cooking spray. You will use same times and temperatures, but will triple amount prepared. Store all dehydrated foods in air-tight container in cool pantry.
Tips for Dehydrating
Dehydrating Vegetables
Please keep in mind that fruits should be washed (minus bananas) and patted dry. Rub fresh lemon over apples to avoid browning. Alternate fruits from racks.

Dehydration & Nuts
Dehydrated Beef
1 pound lean beef sliced thin (no more than 1/4-inch thick) 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon garlic powder 3 tablespoons liquid smoke Cayenne pepper to taste
Place all ingredients in plastic bag and marinate overnight. Place pieces of meat on liner pan and 3-inch rack. Do not allow meat to touch or it will slow dehydrating. Dehydrate at 175 degrees for about 3 hours (about 2 hours and 45 minutes if less than 1/4-inch thick). Tent dome during the last 5 minutes. Pat excess moisture with paper towel, cool and store.
Spray liner pan with oil. In small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of seasoning mix, 4 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; mix well. Stir in orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add pecans. Stir until pecans are well coated. Spread evenly in liner pan. Cook at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Immediately remove dome and stir pecans. Continue cooking at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine remaining seasoning mix, remaining tablespoon of sugar and remaining 1/8 teaspoon cayenne. Remove pecans from oven. Place pecans in bowl and toss. Some pecans will stick together. Gently break them apart; continue to toss. Spread out pecans over cooling rack. Gently shake to remove any residual seasoning mixture. Store in airtight container.

Slow Roasted Pulled Pork
1 (5 -7 pounds) pork butt roast brining solution 1/2 cup salt 1/2 cup light brown sugar 2 quarts cold water 3 tablespoon dry rub mix 2 bay leaves
Add salt to cold water and stir very well until all salt is completely dissolved. Add brown sugar and dry rub and stir well to combine. Rinse pork shoulder in cold water and place into 2-gallon plastic bag (or container big enough so the shoulder completely covered in brine solution). Let sit covered over night. Drain pork from brine and pat dry.
Dry Rub
1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon ground pepper 1 tablespoon paprika 1/2 cup brown sugar
Mix all dry rub together. Pat rub on both sides of pork. Place pork butt on 1-inch rack.
Stage 1
Cook temperature: 250 degrees. Cook time: 1.5 hours per pound. Push stage button.
Stage 2
Cook temperature: 300 degrees. Cook time: 1 hour. Push stage button. Let pork sit for 30-45 minutes before pulling apart.
Tip: You want meat to reach 200 degrees. This allows pork to shred at its best. Normally, you would only cook pork to 170-180 degrees for slicing roast.
Remove visible fat from meats before adding them to slow cooker. If meat has been browned, be sure to drain off rendered fat first.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking completion.
Alternatively, prepare everything the day before, cover and refrigerate overnight, and wait until morning to start slow cooking.
Stage cooking tends to mellow seasoning so be sure to taste your dish to see if you need to add salt and pepper. Add fresh herbs near the end, as they have a tendency to blacken when cooked for any length of time.
Do not lift dome until you are flipping food. Otherwise, heat will escape and cooking time will be prolonged.
A roast with bone-in will cook faster than a boneless roast. The bone carries heat to the inside of the roast.
It’s important to let a roast (beef, pork,
lamb, or poultry) sit for a period before carving. This will allow juices to absorb back into meat. If you carve a roast too soon, much of its natural juices will spill out onto the carving board.
* When mincing garlic add small amount of salt. This stops garlic from rolling around cutting board.

Si un cable de extensión está siendo utilizado: (1) el valor eléctrico marcado del cable de extensión deberá ser al menos como el valor eléctrico del dispositivo, y (2) un cable más largo deberá ser conectado para que no se cuelgue del mostrador o del borde de la mesa donde podría ser tirado accidentalmente y uno podría tropezar con él.
Algunos modelos del dispositivo pueden tener un enchufe polarizado (un filo es más ancho que el otro). Este enchufe está intencionado para encajar en una salida polarizada solamente de un sentido. Si el enchufe no encaja completamente en la salida, revertir el enchufe. Si aún no encaja adecuamente, contactarse con un electricista calificado. No intentar modificar el enchufe de ninguna manera.
Detener o interrumpir la cocción antes de remover el domo para revisar o dar vuelta la comida. La cúpula y la cabeza de energía deberán estar ubicadas en el soporte de el domo.
