Thank You…

On behalf of the entire team at Thane Housewares, we
appreciate your recent purchase of your Flavorwave Deluxe.

This cooking system will provide you with healthy and tasty
meals for many years to come. We worked long and hard to
make this the best cooking appliance available and, only
after extensive testing, added it to our family of quality
products for the home.

Enjoy your new Flavorwave Deluxe.

… and, once again, thank you.

17. Use the handles when lifting the dome from the base.

18. Do not touch hot surfaces, such as the hood, or the heater/control
assembly. Use the handles provided.

19. Place the unit on PAUSE/CLEAR before removing the dome to check or turn
food. The dome and heater/control assembly should be placed on the
counter resting on their side.

20. Always remove the dome away from you so the escaping steam is channeled
away from your face.

21. If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a special cord or
assembly from the manufacturer or its service agent.

22. Use caution when disposing of hot grease.

23. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

24. Keep this manual handy for easy future reference.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Information

The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce Safety Hazards that
may occur with a long cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter or table top where it could be pulled on by children
or tripped over.

Certain models of the appliances may have a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of an electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into 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 properly, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

WARNING

WARNING: All metal items in the oven, such as the cooking grill can
get very hot during cooking. Please be careful when removing these
items from a hot oven. Always wear oven mitts or use pot holders.
Allow liner pan and cooking grill to cool completely before cleaning.
The dome opening may expand slightly when hot. In rare instances,
the heater control assembly could detach itself from the dome
c o m p l e t e l y, thereby causing hot air to escape from between the
dome and the heater control assembly.

Before Using

• Before using, wash transparent dome,
glass tray, base, and cooking
grill in hot soapy water or clean in
your dishwasher.

• IMPORTANT: DO NOT WASH OR
IMMERSE HEATER/CONTROL ASSEMBLY
IN WATER OR IN DISHWASHER. THE OUTER
SURFACE CAN BE CLEANED BY WIPING CAREFULLY WITH A DAMP
DISHCLOTH OR SPONGE.

• Remove the thin vinyl film on the control panel before operating. After
the vinyl film is removed you may notice an appearance of unknown
images on the display panel. Please do not be alarmed. This is caused
by static electricity from the vinyl film and will disappear after
15-20 seconds.

• Temperature is controlled by a micro

chip. Therefore, when the temperature
hits 400˚F, the heater pauses which may
cause the light to go out.

Assembly

• Place base on a firm stable surface.

• Place glass tray inside base.

• Place dual level cooking rack on the
liner pan according to cooking
requirements.

• Place food on the cooking rack.

• Place transparent dome over food
and onto base. The dome should fit
into the base evenly.

• Place heater/control assembly into
dome and lock it into place by
rotating the heater/control assembly
clockwise until the locking lugs are
engaged.

• Set time and power according to
cooking re q u i re m e n t s .

How to Open Heat Control Assembly and
Dome Assembly

Make sure the Heat Control assembly is tightly locked into the dome,

then the Heat Control Assembly and Dome Assembly can be easily
opened and put aside as shown in steps 1, 2 and 3: Place dome holder
under either side of base handle. Make sure both feet of the dome holder
are placed inside the handle and the dome holder is resting horizontally
on a flat surface. Then the power head and dome assembly can be placed
on the dome holder as shown in step 3.

Cooking Instructions

Lift dome only by the handles on
the Heat Control assembly. Once
the Heat Control assembly and the
t r a n s p a rent dome are locked in
place, the Heat Control assembly
handles will allow you to lift them
all together when removing and/or
checking on food. When removing
the glass tray while it is still hot, be
extremely careful and always use
oven mitts. For best results, follow
the time, power, and cooking rack
height instructions given in the
cooking chart and the recipe book.
No preheating required.

WARNING

Do not touch the
t r a n s p a rent dome or any
s u rfaces on the Heat
C o n t rol assembly during
operation. The air inside
the cooking dome
reaches a temperature of
338˚F/170˚C which
makes the surface very

Even though your Flavorwave Oven® Deluxe comes with a
Delayed Cooking feature we do not recommend you delay the
cooking time for more than 1 hour for any food with the
exception of raw vegetables. Most foods, especially raw
p o u l t ry, meat, and fish cannot safely be left at ro o m
temperature and cooking of these foods should never be
delayed for more than 1 hour. For further information on “safe
food handling” please refer to the United States Department of
Agriculture website at http:www.foodsafety.gov and click on the
“Consumer Advice” button.

button. Cover the food with aluminum foil to keep it from drying out.

To Pause Cooking

Press “PAUSE/CLEAR” once to pause cooking. The remaining cooking
time will be visible in the display window and the colon will not blink.

CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

General Instructions

1. Unplug the unit before cleaning.

2. It is best to let the unit cool before cleaning.

3. Transparent dome and all other parts,

EXCEPT the heater/control assembly are
dishwasher safe. Protect the metal and
plastic surfaces; do not use abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads.

4. The outer surface of the heater/control assembly can be cleaned by

wiping it with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash the glass tray until it cools to room
temperature. If you pour cold water on the glass tray while it is still hot,
it could cause the glass to crack and/or break.

WARNING

Do not place the power head on or close to any flammables
or combustibles. It may cause fire or explosion.

WARNING

Do not press the STA RT button after you lift the power head unless
your oven is completely assembled as shown in the manual.

IMPORTANT TIPS:

1. Check the power source for proper operation. Do not operate the unit
with other major appliances in the same power outlet. Check power
level if the unit cooks too slowly.

2. Check to see if electrical plug is properly plugged into
the outlet.

3. Always clear the display panel and unplug the unit
before washing.

4. Moisture may build up inside the Transparent Dome when cooked
food is not removed soon after cook time has expired. The
steam/moisture build-up can be avoided by removing food

soon after it is done cooking.
