Place the cooking racks inside, use one or both racks, depending on the amount
of food. If only one rack is needed use the lower rack unless a recipe states
otherwise.
NOTE:
If placing food that can fall through the cooking racks we suggest using
both racks to create a smaller opening. Place the high cooking rack in first and
then place the lower cooking rack on top to form a grid.
Place food to be cooked directly on rack (preferred method). This will allow the
hot air to circulate around the food to be able to cook it faster and more even.
You can increase the capacity of your oven when cooking large foods such as
a turkey (up to about 16 lbs). Your oven comes with the extender ring that you
can place on top of the glass bowl.
Just place the flat part of the extender ring over the glass bowl’s lip. The
extender has its own lip that will create a perfect seal with the unit’s lid.
Place the glass lid housing on top and close the safety handle back by sliding the
handle switch to the right while pushing down. See Figure 1.
Make sure to lower the handle until it snaps in with the tab. The handle MUST
be flat down in its stored position for the oven to operate. See Figure 2.
IMPORTANT:
The handle operates as a safety switch, as soon as it is lifted, the
oven will turn off.
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
Set the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. Refer to the
cooking chart for reference.
Setting the temperature: Select the required heat setting by turning the
temperature control clockwise. The oven will not turn ON until the cooking timer
has been set and the handle has been placed down. The cooking time depends
on the size and weight of the food to be cooked.

Cooking With Your Halogen Oven
Set the timer to the shortest cooking time referenced in the recipe or chart.
Refer to the cooking times/temperature guide for reference.
Setting the cooking time: Select the required cooking time by turning the timer
clockwise (from 0 to 60 minutes). Once the time has been set, the halogen
element and the fan will turn on.
The power light (green) and heat indicator light (orange) will illuminate. The
halogen element along with the power light (green) will keep cycling on & off to
maintain the set temperature.
If you haven’t lowered the handle already, make sure to lower it until it snaps in.
The handle MUST be flat down in its stored position for the oven to operate.
IMPORTANT:
The handle operates as a safety switch, as soon as it is lifted, the
oven will turn off.
If at any time you need to check on the food, simply lift the handle up to turn
the oven off.
CAUTION:
Before removing the glass lid housing always bring the handle to its
upright position as this will activate the safety switch and turn the oven off. The
oven will be very hot. If using extender ring, be extra careful as it will get very
hot during cooking process. It is strongly recommended to use oven mitts when
removing the glass lid.
When the timer reaches the OFF position, the oven will turn off automatically.
Remove the glass lid housing. Check to make sure the food is fully cooked.
To ensure the food is cooked, use a cooking thermometer or pierce the food
with a fork to check for uncooked juices on meats and poultry. When cooking
vegetables, check for desired tenderness. Moisture may build up inside the oven
when cooked food is not removed soon after timer has gone off. The steam/
moisture build-up can be avoided by removing the food as soon as it is cooked.
CAUTION:
Before removing the glass lid housing always bring the handle to its
upright position as this will activate the safety switch and turn the oven off. The
oven will be very hot. If using extender ring, be extra careful as it will get very
hot during cooking process. It is strongly recommended to use oven mitts when
removing the glass lid.
Use the tongs provided to lift out the hot cooking racks with food.
