3. CONTROL PANEL
3.1 TIME DIAL
•
To operate your oven for a set time
, you must first turn the time dial
clockwise
to the time you choose,
from 0 to 60 minutes (if you’re facing the oven, it is the dial on the left side of the control panel). Line up
your desired time (on the dial) with the indentation in the control panel above the time dial.
•
When set cooking time is over, the dial turns to “0” position, the oven turns off, and a buzzer sounds.
•
To operate the oven continuously
instead of for a set time, turn the time dial
counterclockwise
until
the hand icon ( ) on the dial lines up with the indentation in the control panel above the time dial. The
oven will operate continuously until you manually turn the dial back to “0”.
•
Whether you have chosen to set an actual time, or have set the time dial for continuous “on”, the fan will
begin spinning.
3.2 TEMPERATURE DIAL
•
The temperature inside the cooking chamber is set by the temperature dial (if you’re facing the oven, it is
the dial on the right side of the control panel).
•
Turn the dial clockwise and set your desired temperature. At this time the green
pilot light, located just to the right of the temperature dial, will turn on. This
indicates that the oven is preheating.
•
Please note:
the green pilot light will fluctuate on and off throughout the cooking
cycle. This indicates that the heating element is turning on and off to help keep
the actual temperature within 5-10 degrees of the set temperature.
•
Always preheat oven before placing food into it.
