Your oven is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug must fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
A short cord is provided to reduce the hazard resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used
if you are careful in its use:
1. The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. An extension cord with the power cord must be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where they can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse this appliance, the
cord or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.
11. Always plug appliance cord into the wall outlet, then adjust temperature
control to the desired temperature. To disconnect, turn temperature
control to the OFF position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
12. Do not use outdoors.
13. Use only with plug provided.
14. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
15. Do not use metal scouring pads on the exterior surface of the appliance.
Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts creating a shock
hazard.
16. Always operate the appliance on a non-flammable, heat-resistant
surface. Never place it on carpet, furniture of other combustible
materials. Always operate in a well-ventilated area away from walls
and other combustible materials.
17. Use caution when removing the cover of the appliance as the steam that
escapes is hot and can cause burns.
18. This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

High-Dome Cover is designed to control heat and moisture efficiently.
Important: When removing the cover from the oven during or after cooking,
lift the cover away to avoid contact with escaping steam.
Lid Rests, located on each of the side handles of the oven body, provide a
convenient place for the cover when foods are being added to the oven.
The cover will fit on either lid rest in a horizontal or vertical position.
Oven Pan is coated enamel-on-steel. It has an 18-quart capacity and is
removable for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or the sink. Food can be
stored in the oven pan with the cover and refrigerated.
Oven Body holds the oven pan for cooking. Its double-wall construction
and wrap-around heating elements provide for even cooking and insulation
to hold in heat and keep kitchen cool. Important: Do not place food directly
in the oven body.
Oven Rack With Handles is chrome-plated and fits into oven pan for most
cooking. Handles are convenient for removing large items from the oven
pan and fold down for compact storage.
Flat Oven Rack can be used in combination with the oven rack with handles
in the oven pan. The flat rack slides on top of the the handles of the oven
rack with handles for two level cooking. If space allows, baked goods should
be placed on the flat rack fitted on the handles of the oven rack with handles
so that they are positioned in the center of the oven. For best results, do not
cook two levels of baked goods at the same time.
Temperature Control has adjustable temperatures from 150° to 450°. The
thermostat automatically cycles on and off to maintain the selected setting
inside the portable oven.
Power-On Light is illuminated when the unit is plugged in and stays onuntil
the unit is unplugged.
Cooking Chart and Baking Chart are printed directly on the oven body as a
quick reference for cooking and baking a variety of foods. More detailed
information is provided in this manual.
Steam and Serve Set converts your Portable Oven into a professional steam
and serve table. The four-piece set includes three 4-quart stainless steel pans
and a frame.

7. When food is done, turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the
cord from the outlet.
8. Carefully remove the food using pot holders or oven mitts. Allow the
portable oven to cool before cleaning. Caution: The portable oven body,
pan, cover and rack will be hot. Always lift the cover away from you to
avoid steam.
Using the Oven Racks
Two racks are included for two-level cooking (such as meat on the bottom
rack with vegetables on the top) and to elevate baked goods. Use the oven
rack with handles alone inside the oven pan for fat-free cooking. (Prepare
soups and stews without the oven rack.)
For two-level cooking, place food on the oven rack
with handles, then fit the flat rack on the handles.
(See illustration for assembly.) Place the additional
food on the flat rack. Two-level cooking is not
recommended for baked goods.
If space allows, baked goods such as pies, cakes, cookies and casseroles
should be placed on the flat rack fitted on the oven rack with handles. This
will position them in the center of the oven and improve heat circulation.
Using the Steam and Serve Set
A four-piece Steam and Serve Set is included to convert your Portable Oven
into a professional steam and serve table. The set includes three 4-quart
stainless steel pans and a frame. You can keep up to three different foods
warm for serving.
Place the oven pan into portable oven. Pour 2 1/2 quarts of hot water into
the oven pan. Place frame securely on the rim of the oven pan, and insert
stainless steel pans into frame. Cover and preheat portable oven to 450°.
Uncover and add hot, cooked foods to pans up to 1 inch from rim. Reduce
heat to 400° and keep covered to warm foods for up to 2 hours. Adjust
temperature setting if necessary. If warming foods for longer than 2 hours,
check and add more hot water. For best results, stir foods occasionally.
NOTE: All containers should be in place when using the Steam and Serve
Set. When warming foods that may stick, coat pans with nonstick cooking
spray before filling.
Before Your First Use
Read all instructions. Carefully unpack the portable oven and remove all
packaging materials. Place your oven on a level surface such as a
countertop or table. Be sure the sides, back and top of the oven are at least
four inches away from any walls, cabinets or objects on the counter or table.
Remove all stickers from the oven except the rating label located on the
bottom. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a clean, damp cloth or sponge and
dry with another cloth. Remove the oven pan, steam and serve set, cover
and racks and wash in hot, sudsy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Caution: Do not immerse the cord in water or any other liquid.
We recommend a “trial run” at a high temperature to eliminate any
protective substance or oil that may have been used for packing and
shipping. Place the portable oven in a well ventilated area. Be sure that the
temperature control is in the OFF position. Plug the cord into a 120-volt
AC outlet. Set the temperature control to 450°. Operate the portable oven
empty for about 60 minutes until odor and smoke disappear. Turn the
temperature control to OFF, unplug the unit and allow to cool.
To avoid scratching, marring, discoloration or fire hazard, do not store
anything on top of the oven, especially during operation.
Using Your Portable Oven
1. Be sure that the temperature control is in the OFF position. Plug the cord
into a 120 volt, AC outlet.This appliance requires 1440 watts and
should be the only appliance operating on the circuit.
2. Place the oven pan in the portable oven body. Place the cover on the
oven pan.
3. Always preheat the portable oven prior to use. Set the temperature
control to the desired temperature and preheat for 10 minutes.
4. Remove the cover and store it on the lid rest. Use caution as the cover
will be hot.
5. Using pot holders or oven mitts, place the food in a pan on an oven rack
and then place in the oven pan OR place the food directly in the oven
pan. Replace the cover.
Important: Never place food or liquid directly in the oven body.
6. Cook according to recipe instructions.

• Metal pans are preferable to glass for baking because they reflect and
transfer heat better. Glass can be used if desired, but the bottom crust
will not be as brown.
Steaming
• Steaming is an easy way to cook tasty, nutritious and healthy foods
without added fats.
• Preheat portable oven to 450°. Pour 1 quart of boiling water in bottom
of oven pan. Place food in a pan placed on the oven rack. Steam
according to recipe directions.
Slow Cooking
• For slow cooking, brown meat and vegetables in a separate skillet
before adding to portable oven. Add liquid and set the portable oven
temperature to 250°.
• Always keep food covered; stirring is not necessary.
• Cut meat and vegetables into uniform-size pieces for even cooking.
• Little moisture escapes from the portable oven during cooking, so add
liquid sparingly.
• To convert a standard recipe to slow cooking, double the time and
decrease the oven temperature to 250°.
• When slow cooking meats and poultry, it is not necessary to use the
rack. The low temperature will keep the meat from sticking to the pan.
Warming
• Use the steam and serve set for warming foods and serving buffet-style.
(See detailed instructions, page 7.)

Cooking Tips
This Portable Oven cooks and bakes at approximately the same temperatures and in the same time as a standard oven. Use the charts and recipes
given as a guide to make similar-type recipes. Check 5 to 10 minutes
before estimated finishing time to insure perfect results. Make notes of any
needed adjustments for the next time.
General Cooking
• For best results, dry-cook tender cuts of meat. Do not add liquid until
the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Simmering less tender cuts of meat will make them more tender.
Adding a gravy or sauce will provide extra flavor.
• Because meat and poultry vary in size and shape, use a meat
thermometer to achieve the desired degree of doneness.
• As with all covered portable ovens, meats will not brown during the
cooking process. To achieve browning, sear meat in a separate skillet
on your stovetop prior to cooking in your portable oven. Add a small
amount of oil or butter to the skillet and sear meat for a few minutes
per side until lightly browned.
Baking
• Always place baking pans or casserole dishes on one of the racks and
then in the oven pan. Never place pans on the bottom of the oven pan.
• If space allows, use the flat rack fitted on the handles of the oven rack
with handles to position casserole dishes and baking pans in the center
of the oven for more even baking.
• You can bake two loaves of bread or cook a meat and a vegetable at
one time.
• The oven pan will easily accommodate three 1 1/2-quart casserole
dishes. This is ideal for preparing a complete meal such as meat,
potatoes and a vegetable.
• To make clean-up easier, place foods that may boil over (like fruit pies
and casseroles) on a cookie sheet before positioning on the rack.
• Convenience foods can be baked in the portable oven. Place container
on the oven rack with handles or the flat rack fitted on the handles of
the oven rack. Follow package directions.
• The portable oven accommodates the following size baking pans:
