THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Short Power Supply Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
For Products Purchased in the United States and Canada Only
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

FAQs About Convection Baking
What is Convection?
In your Countertop Oven there is a built in fan that circulates the hot air in the oven chamber to better heat the food.
How do I adjust the time for Convection?
On average, convection will shorten the cooking time by 30% but it varies by food. It is suggested to go with a shorter cooking time to start with and then add time if it is needed.
What are the best foods to use with Convection?
While a shorter cook time is often desirable, baked goods in particular benefit from convection cooking as the circulating air keeps oven temperature consistent throughout.
Variable Broil Function
•Select desired oven rack position. (See “Positioning Rack” Section)
•Place broil rack in oven with pan mounted on the guides under it. See “Positioning Pan”
Section)
