cooking experience as enjoyable and productive as

possible. To get you up and running quickly, the

following is a list of the oven’s basic features:

microwaves from escaping. It is designed as a

screen to allow you to view food as it cooks.

3. Charcoal Filter (behind Vent Grille)

4. Vent Grille

Model and Serial Number Plate & Cooking

Guide Label

5. Glass Tray. The glass tray moves food as it

cooks for more even cooking.

It must be in the oven during operation for best

cooking results.

6. Cooktop/Countertop Light

7. Control Panel.

the

button

s on this panel

perform all functions.
