PREHEATING
Preheating your Countertop Oven is
important for consistent and even results.
Once you select your desired cooking
mode and any other settings, and press
START, Even-Heat™ Preheat saturates the
oven walls and cooking racks above the
oven's set temperature to remove cold
spots that draw heat away from food. This
also helps the oven stay at the desired
temperature when the door is opened
for short periods of time.

COUNTERTOP OVEN USE TIPS

Are guesstimates for Toast mode OK?
Experience will teach you how much time
to use for toasting various kinds of bread.
Frozen, dark, or whole-grain breads require
a longer time. Rye breads are the most
susceptible to over-toasting and spot
charring. Fresh, soft, or white breads
require a shorter time.
For foods that melt
When cooking small pieces of food or
foods that will melt, use the multipurpose
pan. This will keep food from falling onto
the cooking elements.
To minimize cleanup
Spray the multipurpose pan with nonstick
cooking spray for easier cleanup when
cooking wet or sticky foods. Wash pan
thoroughly after each use to avoid buildup
of cooking spray.

During preheating, the light ring around
the Start/Cancel button will be on, and
the Preheat indicator will show on the
LCD. Once the oven has reached the
set temperature, a tone will sound to let
you know you can insert food and begin
cooking. Preheating is NOT necessary in
all cooking modes.
Size limits for food and cooking
containers
For best results, food- and/or oven-safe
containers (see "Food Cooking Tips"
section) must fit into the Countertop Oven
without touching the cooking elements or
inside walls of the Countertop Oven. The
door must close completely. This allows
air to circulate around the food, helping
ensure consistent cooking temperature.
For extended use
When cooking for a long time at high
temperatures, you may detect a slight
odor from the Countertop Oven insulation
materials. This is normal.
