Electrical Information:
The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce Safety Hazards that may occur with a long cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or table top where it could be accidentally pulled off the counter or table or tripped over.

Certain models of the appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit properly, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

NuWave Oven Pro Plus Assembly Guide

Connecting Power Head to Dome

Place Power Head on the rim of the Dome and lock it into place by rotating the Power Head clockwise until the locking lugs are engaged.

Assembling the Full NuWave Oven

Place Base Tray on a firm, stable surface.

Place Liner Pan inside Base Tray. When doing so, make sure the handles are in the dropped down position. If the handles are not fully dropped, the Dome may not fit over the base properly.

Place dual level Cooking Rack on the Liner Pan according to cooking requirements.

Place food on the rack.

Place Dome with Power Head over food, connecting to the Base Tray. The Dome should fit evenly onto the base.

Set cook time and temperature according to recipe requirements.

BEFORE USING:
Prior to the first use of your NuWave Oven, wash Dome, Liner Pan, Base, and Cooking Rack in warm soapy water or run through a dishwasher cycle.

Do not wash or immerse Power Head in water or cycle through dishwasher. The outer surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with a damp dishcloth or sponge.

How to Install and Use Dome Holder

Make sure the Power Head is tightly locked onto the Dome. The whole assembly can be easily lifted and put aside as shown in steps 1, 2 and 3.

1. Place Dome Holder under either side of base handle.
   
2. Make sure both feet of the Dome Holder are situated inside the handle, and the Dome Holder is resting horizontally on a flat surface.
   
3. Place the assembled Power Head and Dome at a 45° angle on the holder as shown.
   Note: Do not leave Dome in Dome Holder for an extended period of time.
   

Cooking Instructions

Only lift Dome by the handles on the Power Head. Once the Power Head and the Dome are assembled, the handles will allow you to lift both together when removing or checking food. When removing Liner Pan after cooking, be extremely careful and always use oven mitts.

For best results, follow the time, temperature, and Cooking Rack height instructions provided in the cooking chart and recipe book. No preheating required.

Models Containing 3-inch Extender Ring

If your NuWave Oven included a 3-inch Extender Ring, the Ring can be used for multi-level cooking or for oversized food items that may not fit under the standard dome. Generally, foods (such as a ham or turkey) that exceed 10 pounds would require the use of the Extender Ring for optimal cooking.

Directions

The Extender Ring should be positioned between the original dome and the base. The addition of the Extender Ring will expand the NuWave Oven's available cooking space by approximately 440 cubic inches when using the 3-inch Ring. When adding the Extender Ring to the NuWave Oven, make sure it fits snugly onto the dome. When the Ring is placed under the dome incorrectly, the overlapping edges will not fit together properly. Please use caution when using the Ring. If improperly used, heat or steam could escape from the oven which could cause burns or alter the necessary cooking times of your foods. The Extender Ring should only be used as an accessory item with the NuWave Oven. It is not intended to serve as a replacement for the dome, base, or any other components of the NuWave Oven.

General Rules

• Place foods that require the longest cooking time on the rack closest to the heating element (ex. potatoes, carrots), and place soft vegetables on the lower racks (ex. mushrooms, tomatoes).
• When choosing the multi-level cooking option, use food combinations that take roughly the same amount of time to prepare. Examples: pork or chicken and potato wedges; fish and stewed tomatoes; or frozen beef with baked potatoes.
• If top layer foods finish cooking earlier, remove rack(s) from above and continue cooking bottom foods until done.
• Use shallow or oven-safe dishes for cooking.
• To warm bread, place it on the bottom rack or liner pan and cover. To bake bread, place bread on the top rack.

Models Containing Extender Ring Kit

2-inch Rack
The 2-inch Rack for the NuWave Oven Pro Plus can be used in a variety of ways.

1. It can be the primary rack with or without the Extender Ring.
2. With the Extender Ring, it can be positioned on top of or under the 3-inch rack for more multi-level cooking space.
3. Without the Extender Ring, the 2-inch rack can also facilitate multi-level cooking by creating a third cooking surface between the liner pan and the bottom of the 3-inch rack.
4. You may use two extra 2-inch racks above and below the 3-inch rack, which is especially useful for dehydrating.

Note: The 2-inch rack is only to be used in the positions and purposes shown below. Any other uses may affect cooking time and quality.

Care and Use

The Extender Ring is constructed from high-impact stainless steel. It should not be cleaned with any harsh abrasive, but it is dishwasher safe.

1-inch Cooking Rack

2-inch & 1-inch Cooking Rack

2-inch & 3-inch Cooking Rack

3-inch & 2-inch Cooking Rack

Do not touch the dome or any surface on the cooking area during operation. The air inside the dome can reach 350°F (177°C) which makes the surface very hot and may cause burns. Do not open the dome or remove the power head while the NuWave Oven is operating. Turn off the power before removal.

Digital Control Panel on Power Head

General Use Instructions

• Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly grounded outlet and that the cord is not touching any heated objects.
• Be certain that the liner pan has been properly placed within the base.
• Do not place the Pro Plus or any associated parts directly on your stove top, inside a conventional oven or in contact with any other direct heat source. Damage may result.
• Metal, glass or silicone dishes and pans, and all other oven-safe materials used in a conventional oven, may be utilized in the NuWave Pro Plus.

Directions for the NuWave Oven Pro Plus

Control Panel on Power Head
"0" should appear on LCD display when program is clear.

Easy Start
To start cooking, press the Cook Time button, enter time as desired, then press Start. Default is programed at 350ºF. If cooking at any other temperature, Cook Temp button will be needed. See Setting Temperature for details.

Setting Cook Time
Press the Cook Time Button. The Time indicator will flash in the right corner of the display panel. Enter the time in hours and minutes by pressing the corresponding numerals. For example, 1 hour and 30 minutes would be entered by pressing 1,3,0. The display panel will show 1:30. If the required time is in minutes, you only need to enter 1 or 2 numbers. For example, 5 minutes just push 5; for 46 minutes, push 46. If the number needs to be corrected, clear the entry by pressing Pause/Clear button twice. Then re-enter the correct numbers.

Note: Maximum allowed cook time for temperatures 325ºF and above is 2 hours. If cooking time is set more than that it will automatically revert back to 2 hours. Longer times can be added by simply adding more time after the initial 2 hours has expired. For temperatures below 325ºF, maximum allowed time is 9 hours and 59 minutes.

Setting Temperature

• Press the Cook Temp button.
• Press desired temperature.
• Temperature can be changed by 1ºF increments.
• Temperature ranges from 100ºF to 350ºF.

Start Cooking
Set appropriate temperature and time, then press Start to begin cooking. The remaining cooking time will appear in the display panel, and the colon symbol between the hours and minutes will blink. The oven will automatically stop cooking when the time has expired, and a "beep" will alert you to that fact.

Pause/Clear Cooking
To Pause the oven, press the Pause/Clear button once. The remaining cooking time will stay listed on the display panel but the colon will not blink.

To STOP or Clear cooking time, press the Pause/Clear button twice. Cooking functions will cease immediately, remaining time will be fully cleared, and a '0" will appear.

Delay Function
After setting your temperature and time, you can delay the program before cooking starts. When entering delay, it will always be the first function. The delay function is only for cook time and delaying start time. Press the Delay button. The Delay and Time functions on the LCD will blink. Input delay time and press Start. Delay stops blinking and remains on until time expires. It is possible to delay a program for up to 9 hours and 59 minutes. If the delay countdown reaches 0, the oven will "beep" to signal the end.

Reheat Function
The default setting is programmed at 350ºF for 4 minutes. This function is perfect for reheating single portion-sized foods. To activate the reheat function, make sure programming is clear. The LCD display will read 0. Press the Reheat button. This will activate the default setting. Press Start. Alarm will "beep" 3 times once time has expired. For example, if you are warming leftover pizza, simply place the slice on the 3-inch rack, press Reheat, then Start. If you are warming a rice or noodle dish, place a single-serving amount in an oven-safe container (glass, metal, silicone). For softer rice or noodles, add a sprinkle of water and cover with foil.

Warm Function
After the initial cooking time is complete, you may keep foods warm. When entering warm, it will always be the last function. The default setting is programmed at 155ºF for 2 hours. Press the Warm button. The Warm and Time functions on the LCD will blink. 2:00 will be displayed, then press Start. To change the time, press cook time, enter the desired time and proceed. You may program the oven to keep foods warm for up to 9 hours and 59 minutes. Once the initial cooking cycle is finished, the oven will "beep" twice before switching to the WARM function.

CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Unplug the unit before cleaning. The dome and all other parts, except the Power Head, are dishwasher safe. Protect the metal and plastic surfaces; do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Clean after each use. The outer surface of the Power Head can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.

Do not wash or immerse Power Head in water or cycle through dishwasher. The outer surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with a damp dishcloth or sponge.

IMPORTANT TIPS

1. Check the power outlet to ensure proper operation. Do not operate the unit simultaneously with other major appliances plugged into the same outlet.
2. Check the cooking temperature if the oven is cooking too slowly.
3. The electrical plug must be properly inserted into the outlet.
4. Always turn off and unplug the oven before washing.
5. Moisture may accumulate inside Dome if food is not promptly removed once cooking time has expired. Steam/moisture buildup can be avoided through prompt removal of cooked foods.
6. Do not rest dome in dome holder for extended period of time, as it could warp. Always replace dome on base tray promptly after removing food.
