The UltraVection™Oven is a patented technology that combines three meth­ods of heat transfer (convection, conduction and radiant heat) which cre­ates superheated air movement. The UltraVection™ Oven holds the flavor
resulting in foods that are cooked with a superior taste, texture and appear­ance not possible with any other oven-cooking method. This revolutionary
cooking process allows for greater moisture retention and is perfect for
cooking fish, steaks, poultry, seafood, French fries and many convenience
foods.

The UltraVection

™

Oven may look like a typical oven. In fact, it is computer
controlled and has a unique patented air surround basket. The
UltraVection

™

patented process cooks fast without microwaves, saving ener­gy over a conventional oven . . . and most of all it’s easy to use. It com­pletely eliminates the use of oil, pans or trays. So enjoy those French fries
and onion rings without the oil and the guilt!

PREHEAT

Preset function is set at 4:00 minutes and can not be adjusted. Always
preheat the UltraVection™ Oven for the first use except where indicated.
When cooking consecutive batches of food it is not necessary to preheat
after the first batch.

During PREHEAT, P will appear on the display.
TURBO is the basic cooking function. Food is rapidly seared, sealing in

moisture and flavor. It is preset at 5:30 (5 minutes and 30 seconds) and can
be adjusted from 10 seconds to 16 minutes. During use, the TURBO func­tion light will be on. The cooking time will count down on the display.

CRISP is the finishing touch after cooking with TURBO. It adds a deep fried
texture, color and crunch to French fries, tater tots, onion rings and many
other foods. It is preset at :30 seconds and can be adjusted from
10 seconds to 6 minutes. During use, the CRISP function light will be on. The
cooking time will count down on the display.

preheated oven, press the FROZEN PIZZA button and the oven will start
automatically. The cooking time will count down on the display. Note: Since
frozen pizza toppings vary, so do their cooking times. It is a good idea to
check pizza for doneness one minute from end of the auto pizza cycle.

USING YOUR OVEN

The UltraVection™ Oven cooks using super heated air movement.
Therefore, the outside of the oven and the glass door become hot. Always
use caution when touching these parts and never use the top of your oven
as a resting-place for anything. We recommend using a potholder or insu­lated mitt to remove the air surround basket after cooking. Foods become
hot during the cooking process. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Always preheat oven before using unless chart or recipe indicates other­wise.

1. Plug into 120V ~ 60Hz outlet. Set the clock.

After four minutes, the oven will beep and the P will flash on the dis­play to indicate that it is preheated. The PREHEAT function is a preset
function and can not be adjusted. If you do not start cooking within five
minutes, PREHEAT again. The display will show the time of day after
nine minutes if the oven is not used.

CAUTION: Use caution when removing basket and food. Protect your
hands with insulated oven mitts. Always protect counter-top from heated
basket when removing from unit.

3. Pull the handle of the air surround basket straight out. The TURBO
default time shows on the display and the TURBO function light will be
on. Add food to the non-stick grid. There should be space between
food to allow air to circulate around the food. Insert food basket into
oven.

4. Select one, two or all three functions, TURBO, CRISP, and/or BROWN
in this order. Refer to cooking chart for times.

5. Press the START button, the function light will be on. During cooking, if
the basket is removed and returned to oven in under nine minutes, the

Note: When a combination of functions is chosen, each function time
will count down separately on the display window, one immediately
following the other. While the time for each function is counting down,
the light for that function will be on.
NOTE: The display will flash “OPEN” only when the basket is removed
during the operation of a programmed function (PREHEAT, TURBO,
BROWN or CRISP). The oven will resume operation when the basket is
replaced in the oven. If a program function is selected and the oven
beeps several times, the basket is not completely inserted in the oven.

6. The oven will beep and shut off automatically when the cooking cycle
is complete. The last function light will be on and :0 will be on the dis­play.

7. Carefully remove basket and food. Use a nylon or plastic utensil to
remove food to protect non-stick coating. Never cut food in non-stick
basket. When basket is removed, the display will read the time of day.

8

To prevent heat loss, avoid opening basket excessively. Start another
basket of food immediately. If you wait more than five minutes,
PREHEAT again before cooking.

8. Unplug and allow the oven and accessories to cool completely before
cleaning. Keep drip tray and oven clean and free of crumbs, grease
and particles. See CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.

COOKING TIPS

• Times given in cooking charts are suggestions. Experimentation will
be necessary to find the combination of cooking features that best
suits your personal taste. For frozen convenience foods begin by
starting with TURBO for approximately one half of package cooking
time. Then add time for crisp and/or brown. If necessary, cook for
additional time.

• Always watch foods closely when experimenting to prevent
over- cooking. If food is not done when you take it out of the oven
you can always return it to the oven for additional time.

• Arrange all food in a single layer in basket.

• For cooking small portions, make sure they are centered in the
basket. When cooking large portions, distribute evenly to promote
uniform cooking.

• Remove crumbs and/or ice crystals from food before placing in basket.

• Leave air space between foods to allow proper air circulation.

• Avoid cooking foods small enough to fall through basket.

• Do not cover food while it is cooking.

• When cooking more than one piece of meat, try to select even
thicknesses. This will promote consistent doneness and appearance.

• Trim all excess fat off meat and poultry to reduce smoking and splat­tering.

• To toast two slices of bread, PREHEAT the oven. Center bread in the
basket. Select BROWN for 40 seconds for light color toast,
50 seconds for medium and one minute for dark. At the end of the
cycle, flip toast over and reprogram for the same time again.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE OVEN IN OR SPLASH WITH WATER
OR OTHER LIQUID.
NOTE: Do not use harsh abrasives on any part of the oven.

1. Always unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning or moving.

2. Remove basket. The glass window and wire basket may be
disassembled for cleaning. Lay basket flat and pull the right side of the
patended Air Surround Basket out and away from the glass door. Pull
