Using Your Oven
•
The range of the timer is from 0:00 to 9:59 (9 hours and 59 minutes). When the unit is
plugged in, the timer display will read 0:00. Set the desired time by pressing the + button.
Each press increases the time by one minute. Holding the + button down causes the time
displayed to increase rapidly. Press the - button to decrease the time reading. The timer
can be adjusted if necessary while the oven is operating. Press the ON/OFF button, then
press the + or-button to adjust the time as needed, and finally press ON/OFF again to
continue cooking.
•
To start the oven, once the time has been set, press the ON/OFF button. (The Function
and Temperature Control knobs should also be set. See below.) To turn the
oven off at any time, press the ON/OFF button again. Pressing the button a third time will
restart the oven at the point at which its operation was interrupted.
•
As the oven operates, the timer counts down. When the set time has elapsed, you will hear
a chime tone and the electric heating shuts off automatically.
CAUTION: Even though the oven is off, it is still very hot. Use oven mitts or potholders
when removing food from the oven.
Power Indicator Light
•
When the indicator light is on, the oven is operating.
•
When the ON/OFF button is pressed during operation, or if the timer display reaches 0:00,
the indicator light will go off and the oven will not be operating.
Function Knob
This dial offers six choices:
Broil: indicates that the two upper straight-type electric heating elements are operating.
This function can be used to broil steaks, chops and fish and to top-brown casseroles and
sandwiches.
Fan Only: With this function, the electric heating elements are not in use. Only the rear fan
is working. This function can be used for cooling the hot oven or evacuating smoke from
the interior.
Cook: Indicates that the lower straight-type electric heating element is operating. With the
baking/drip pan in place, this function can be used for roasting corn and potatoes and for
heating other foods.
