QUESTION ANSWER
Why is my food
burning?
a. Check if you are in convection mode. Convection can speed up
cooking, so you should try less time and/or lower the temperature.
b. Adjust oven rack position. Food may be too close to heating
elements.
c. Because of its smaller capacity, countertop ovens heat up quicker
than convectional ovens and may require less time and/or lower
temperature for cooking.
Why would I use
convection?
a. Convection uses a small fan to circulate hot air around food for even
cooking, often resulting in quicker cook times.
Why is there
condensation on
the oven door?
a. This is normal, as moisture is created from cooking high-moisture
foods; it will dissipate during the cooking process.
Why are the
heating elements
going on and off,
and/or aren’t all on
at the same time?
a. Heating elements cycle on and off to achieve temperature accuracy.
b. Different functions utilize the heating elements differently; for
instance, the Broil function only uses the top heating elements.
Why isn’t my oven
heating up?
a. Make sure your unit is securely plugged into a wall outlet and the
door is properly sealed.
b. For toasting, make sure that the TOAST dial is not turned to the
OFF position. For all other oven functions, make sure that the OVEN
dial is not turned to the OFF position.
c. Call Customer Service.
Why is there
smoke/odor?
a. Smoke and/or odor are normal during the first use of your oven.
This should not continue after the initial heating period.
b. If smoke and/or odor appear after first use, make sure there is
no food residue on the heating elements (do not clean heating
elements until unit is turned off and has cooled down).
