door
Keep the door closed.
Whether you’re using the top element

on its own to keep food warm, or both the
top

and bottom
D
F
elements together to cook food, the door must be closed,
otherwise the thermostat won’t be able to control the oven temperature.
,
The door gets hot – even though you’re using the handle, wear oven gloves.
rack and tray
The racks and tray slide on the shelf supports at the sides of the oven. Use the supports
to hold the food you’re cooking as near to the centre of the oven as you can manage,
given the constraints imposed by your cookware.
If you don’t need the tray to cook on, leave it on the bottom shelf support, to catch
drips.
To fit the rack/tray handle, catch the hooks on the top of the rack/tray, then lower the
handle till the bottom catches the underside of the rack/tray, then lift. The upper set of
hooks fits the tray, the lower set fits the rack.
lights
There’s a signal light on the end of each element switch.
The lights will cycle on and off as the oven thermostat operates to maintain the
temperature.
hotplates
The middle knob

operates the big hotplate, the next one down
_
operates the
small hotplate. The range is from 0 (off) to 6 (maximum).
pans
Use good quality, flat bottomed pans which make good contact with the hotplate. The
base of the pan should be the same size as the hotplate or slightly wider.
If it’s too small, you’ll lose heat, you’ll overheat the pan sides and handle.
If it’s too large, the pan may distort. In either case, you may also damage the mini oven.
Don’t use a pan that covers both hotplates at the same time (e.g. a catering-size pan).
This, too, may damage the mini oven.

oven gloves
Use oven gloves to open and close the door, use them to insert and remove the racks
and tray. We’ve even made the knobs big enough to use while wearing oven gloves, so
you’ve no excuse for burning your fingers.
oven temperatures
Oven temperatures are comparable with those of a standard electric oven. As the oven
is small, cooking times will generally be slightly shorter than with a conventional oven.
