FOOD COOKING TIPS

• Oven surfaces can become hot during
cooking. Touch only the door handle
and knobs during oven operation.
• Do not place items on top or near
Compact Oven while in use.
Use the Time control knob for
continuous cook times of up to
60 minutes. For recipes that call for
cook times of more than 60 minutes,
use the Time control knob in the
6
"Stay on" mode by rotating the Time
Control knob to the "ON" position.
The "Stay on" mode allows for
extended cook times of up to 4 hours
when using the Bake, Broil, or Warm
settings.
NOTE: : The Compact Oven has a 4-hour
auto shut-off feature. If the "Stay on"
mode is used, the Power On indicator
light will turn on and the Compact
Oven will keep heating at the selected
temperature for 4 hours. After 4 hours,
the heater will shut off automatically
and the indicator light will begin to blink
to let you know that the heat is no longer
on. Rotate the Timer knob to "0", and
then unplug the power cord to turn
off the indicator light and reset the
Compact Oven.
TIP: When cooking for a long time
at high temperatures, you may detect
a slight odor from the oven insulation
materials. This is normal.
• When preparing frozen or packaged
foods, follow package directions.
Preheating is not necessary.
• Replace cardboard, glass, or plastic
lids with aluminum foil for use in the
Compact Oven.
