IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
13. When the oven is not in use, it is recommended that items are removed.
If left inside and the switch is accidentally activated, there is potential for damage to occur.
14. Do not heat with oil from the leftover food or the food left in the accessories in the oven cavity.
Doing so may generate sparks and cause fire or smoking.
15. It is recommended to use personal protection equipment in case of spreading hot food stuff.
16. Exterior oven surfaces, including air vents on the cabinet and the oven door will get hot during
use. Take care when opening or closing door and when inserting or removing food and
accessories.
There are heaters situated in the top and back of the oven.
After use, the roof, walls and floor will be very hot.
17. Take caution when rapidly cooling the hot accessories after cooking. It may cause burn with
steam or airborne droplets. It may also cause injury by the accessories breaking.
18. It is essential reheated food is served "piping hot". Always check before serving and if in doubt
return food to oven for further heating.
All temperatures provided are for guidance only. Local legislation of food temperature
requirements should be applied, to ensure a safe temperature has been reached before serving
any food.
19. The standing time is essential for foods cooked or reheated by CONVECTION-AND-
MICROWAVE, or BROIL-AND-MICROWAVE. During the standing time, heat will continue to
conduct to the center to cook the food completely.
The denser the food, the longer the standing time. Reheated foods also require a standing time.
20. When the oven has finished operating, the fan motor will continue to rotate in order to cool the
electric components. This is normal, and food can still be removed from the oven during this
cooling period. Do not remove the plug or turn off the breaker.
21. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before installation and be sure the oven cavity is
empty. It may cause electric shock or injury.
USING YOUR OVEN
Do not store any objects inside the oven in case it is accidentally turned on. In case of electronic
failure, the oven can be turned off at wall outlet.
WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
You may detect smoke or a harsh odor. This is normal and is caused by the burning off of the oil
that is used to protect the oven cavity.
You may prefer to perform a blank baking as described below if you find this unpleasant;
1. Place the supplied Base Plate Liner, Ceramic Tray, and Wire Rack into the oven. (p.17)
2. Preheat the oven at 525°F (280°C) for 20 minutes. (p.28)
3. Once this operation is completed, open then close the door and press the Stop/Reset pad to
return to the initial screen.
OAlways ventilate when performing a blank baking.
