IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:

• Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use
instructions in this manual.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use. This device is not intended to
heat oil or other liquids.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend®
Housewares may cause injuries.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.

• Do not leave unit unattended while plugged into outlet.

• Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been

damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.

• Use extreme caution when removing baking tray from unit when hot.

• For household use only.

To prevent burns, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all
instructions and warnings.

Heat Precautions

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs where provided. Use hot
pads or oven mitts when handling hot surfaces.

• Do not move an appliance containing hot foods.

• Be extremely cautious of steam as you lift the cover.

• Allow unit to cool completely after use before storing.

• Do not touch heating elements as serious burns may result.

• Set baking tray on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set hot

baking tray directly on the counter, table or other surface.

• Do not use this appliance on the stovetop, under the broiler, in the freezer, or in
the oven.

2

To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and
follow all instructions and warnings.

Electricity Precautions

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

• Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been

damaged in any manner.

• Do not use outdoors, near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, refrigerator
or freezer.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off of the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.

• Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless all controls are set to OFF position.

• Always turn control to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use

and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool completely before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning.

• Your Rotary Oven has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling,
tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge
of the counter, table or other flat surface area.

• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the Rotary Oven (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the unit). Position the extension cord so that it does
not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area.

• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the Rotary
Oven. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.

• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.

3

To prevent burns or other personal injuries to children, read and follow all
instructions and warnings.

• Always supervise children.

• Do not allow children to operate or be near the Rotary Oven, as the outside

surfaces are hot during and after use.

• Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord
to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.

To prevent fire, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all
instructions and warnings.

Precautions For Use Around Children

Fire Precautions

• Do not use around or near flammable materials. A fire may occur if the Rotary
Oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies,
walls, and the like, when in operation.

• Do not leave appliance unattended when in use.

• Failure to clean baking tray may result in fire hazard.

• Do not allow any food or other materials to touch heating elements.

• Do not cover baking tray or line Rotary Oven with aluminum foil.

• Remove any plastic or cardboard wrapping from food before placing into Rotary

Oven.

• Unplug Rotary Oven and close cover if fire is observed.

OTHER LIQUID.

Using Your Rotary Oven

1. Place Rotary Oven on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.

2. Open cover and position baking tray into Rotary

Oven aligning the recessed area in center of tray
over the rotating drive in center of base. Do NOT
operate Rotary Oven without baking tray properly
positioned on the rotating drive.

3. Remove food to be cooked from box or wrapper

and cardboard tray. Place food onto baking tray,
centering and/or spacing evenly, for best results.
Do not cover baking tray or line Rotary Oven with
aluminum foil.

4. Close cover. With timer and heat selection control at OFF position, plug cord

into a 120 volt AC electric outlet ONLY.

5. Select heat source by setting heat selection control at DUAL (upper and lower

heat at the same time), UPPER, or LOWER.

6. Set timer for desired cook time. For suggested cooking times refer to cooking

guide in this booklet rather than food-packaging recommendations, as most
foods will cook faster in the Rotary Oven than in a conventional oven.
Remember: When setting timer for less than 15 minutes, you must turn time
past the 15 minute mark and then back to the number of minutes you wish to
time. This must be done to activate timer and turn appliance on. The baking tray
will rotate as the food is cooked. Note: If tray does not rotate, turn timer and
heat selection control to “OFF”, unplug from electrical outlet and allow unit to
cool completely. DO NOT BLOCK OR INSERT ANY OBJECT INTO VENTING
HOLES AS YOU MAY CAUSE HARM TO YOURSELF OR THE APPLIANCE.
Using care not to touch heating elements, check to be sure the baking tray is
positioned correctly onto rotating drive in bottom of base, food is centered on
baking tray and food does not extend beyond the baking tray area. The Rotary
Oven does not require preheating.

7. Alert will sound; indicating selected cooking time has elapsed. Turn heat

selection control to OFF, open cover and check food for doneness. If additional
cooking time is needed, close cover, reset timer to desired time and heat
selection control to desired heat setting. To prevent over browning check
cooking progress by looking through window in cover. If necessary the cover
can be opened to check doneness. When the cover is opened the baking tray
will stop rotating. However, as the heating elements will remain hot, foods will
continue to cook, therefore, cover should not be left open for extended periods
of time. The baking tray will begin rotating again when the cover is closed.

8. When food is done, turn timer to “OFF” if it is not already at “OFF”. Turn heat

selection control to “OFF”. Unplug unit from electrical outlet. Open cover. Using
a non-metal spatula carefully remove food from baking tray and place onto a
serving tray, cooling rack or cutting board. DO NOT CUT PIZZA OR OTHER
FOODS ON BAKING TRAY AS SCRATCHING MAY OCCUR.

Cooking Tips

1. There are some instances where over cooking a pizza will cause the rising crust
to raise so high it touches the upper heating element, causing the crust and
some of the toppings to burn. Constant monitoring when cooking is always
needed but especially critical on self-rising crust pizzas.

2. Suggested cooking times and heat selections are to be used as a guide only.
Experiment with cooking times and heat selections for maximum results and
your preferred doneness.

3. Rotary Oven will not operate unless timer is set. Timer must be turned past the
15-minute mark for Rotary oven to begin cooking and then back to desired
amount of time if less than 15-minutes.

4. Some snack foods require turning for even and thorough heating.

Cleaning Your Rotary Oven

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN ROTARY OVEN UNLESS COMPLETELY COOLED.

1. Turn all control settings to “OFF”. Unplug unit from electrical outlet.

2. Baking tray is immersible and can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.

3. Rotary Oven and cord are not immersible. Use a soft damp cloth to clean
interior and exterior of appliance.

 Do not remove any components from appliance except for baking tray.
 Some natural discoloration on interior on appliance will occur – this is normal.
