ELEMENT IQ^TM
The Sage Smart Oven^TM Air Fryer features Element IQ^TM, a cooking technology that creates the ideal environment for the food you're cooking. It steers power where and when it's needed and creates the right kind of heat, whether even or intense.
Each of the oven's functions is preset with our recommended heating element configurations and temperatures, that are based on recipes and testing. However, we suggest experimenting with these depending on the recipe, amount of food and your personal taste.

Quick Start Guide

OPERATING YOUR SAGE OVEN

1. Position the wire rack so the spokes face upward and insert it into the desired rack position. The rack positions are conveniently printed on the oven door window.
   
2. Turn the Function dial until the indicator on the LCD screen reaches the desired setting.
3. The screen indicates the preset cooking temperature for the selected setting. Turn the Temperature dial to the left to reduce the temperature or to the right to increase the temperature.
   
4. The screen indicates the preset cooking time for the selected setting. Turn the Time dial to the left to reduce the cooking time or to the right to increase the cooking time.
   
5. For settings without a preheat cycle
   (TOAST, BAGEL, GRILL, KEEP WARM, SLOW COOK), place the food directly on the wire rack or on the included air fry basket, pizza pan, grilling rack and/or roasting pan. Ensure the food is centered in the oven for the most even cooking.
6. Close the oven door.
7. Press the Start/Cancel button. The button backlight will illuminate red, the oven alert will sound, and the LCD screen will illuminate orange.
8. The timer will be displayed and begin to count down. The cooking temperature and time can be adjusted during the cooking cycle.
9. For settings that feature a preheat cycle (BAKE, ROAST, PIZZA, AIR FRY), press the Start/ Cancel button before placing food in the oven. The button backlight will illuminate red, the oven alert will sound and the LCD screen will indicate a blinking 'PREHEATING' while the oven is heating up.
   1. When the oven is ready for use, the blinking 'PREHEATING' will go out, the oven alert will sound and the timer will start counting down. Place the food directly on the wire rack, or on the included air fry basket, pizza pan, grilling rack and/or roasting pan. Ensure the food is centered in the oven for the most even cooking.
   2. Close the oven door.
   3. The timer will continue to count down. The cooking temperature and time can be adjusted during the cooking cycle.
10. At the end of the cooking cycle, the oven alert will sound, the Start/Cancel button backlight will go out and the LCD screen will illuminate blue.

NOTE
The cooking cycle can be stopped at any time by pressing the Start/Cancel button. This will cancel the cycle and the button backlight will illuminate blue.
NOTE
Press the Convection button to choose between no convection, convection and super convection. Convection and super convection may adjust the temperature to compensate for the faster air flow. Super convection will deliver a crispier food result.

MAGNETIC AUTO-EJECT RACK
When the wire rack is inserted into the middle rack position, it will automatically eject halfway out of the oven when the door is opened so you can easily remove your food.
Always open the door slowly when the wire rack is in this position to prevent the rack from ejecting too quickly.

LANGUAGE SELECTION
When the oven is being operated for the first time, it will allow you to select the desired language.
Turn the Temperature or Time dials (clockwise or anticlockwise) to select the desired language, then press the Start/Cancel button to confirm your selection. If the desired language is not confirmed within 5 minutes, the oven will automatically save the default language.
In the event the selected language needs to be changed, press the Frozen button for 3 seconds. The LCD screen will display the languages selection. Turn the Temperature or Time dials (clockwise or anticlockwise) to select the desired language, then press the Start/Cancel button to confirm your selection. If the desired language is not confirmed within 5 minutes, the oven will automatically go back to the previously saved language.
The check mark icon indicates selected language.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT

Always unplug oven and let cool before replacing bulb. Only use a 25-Watt, 220-240V, G9 type oven bulb.

1. Remove the wire rack from the oven before replacing the light.
2. The light is positioned on the lefthand side of the oven cavity. Position your fingers on the outside of the light housing and gently pull the glass cover away from the oven wall to remove it. If you are unable to pull the cover off, slide a spoon into the left side of the light housing and gently lever the glass cover off. Always hold the glass cover with the other hand to prevent the cover from falling and breaking.
   
3. Remove the used bulb by pulling it directly out of its holder.
   
4. Use a soft cloth to insert the new bulb. Do not directly touch the surface of the bulb with your fingers as oil from your skin can damage the bulb.
   
5. To reattach the glass cover, align the metal hook with the left side of the light housing. Slide the opposite end of the glass cover into the metal bracket on the right side of the housing, then push the metal hook into the left side of the housing until it snaps securely into position.
   

Care & Cleaning

Before cleaning, ensure the oven is turned off by removing the power plug from the power outlet. Allow the oven and all accessories to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.

Cleaning the outer body and door

1. Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
2. To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleanser or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the oven surface.
3. Wipe the LCD screen with a soft damp cloth. Apply cleanser to the cloth and not the LCD surface. Cleaning with dry cloth or abrasive cleaners may scratch the surface.
4. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven on.

Do not immerse the body, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.

Cleaning the interior
The walls on the inside of the oven feature a non-stick coating for easy cleaning. To clean any splattering that may occur while cooking, wipe the walls with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning. Avoid touching the quartz heating elements.

Use extreme caution when cleaning the quartz heating elements. Allow the oven to cool completely, then gently rub a soft, damp sponge or cloth along the length of the heating element. Do not use any type of cleanser or cleaning agent. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven on.

Cleaning the crumb tray

1. After each use, slide out the crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe the tray with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Dry thoroughly.
2. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in warm soapy water then wash with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Always reinsert the crumb tray into the oven with the oven door closed after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven on.

Cleaning the wire rack, grilling rack, roasting pan and pizza pan

1. Wash all accessories in warm soapy water with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleansers, metal scouring pads or metal utensils to clean any of the accessories as they may damage the surfaces.
2. To extend the life of your accessories, we do not recommend that these be placed in the dishwasher.

Storage

1. Ensure the oven is turned off by removing the power plug from the power outlet.
2. Allow the oven and all accessories to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.
3. Ensure the oven and all accessories are clean and dry.
4. Ensure the crumb tray is inserted into the oven; the broiling rack is inserted into the roasting pan and resting on the wire rack in the middle rack height position.
5. Ensure the door is closed.
6. Store the appliance in an upright position standing level on its support legs. Do not store anything on top. The only exception is the optional Sage Bamboo Cutting Board and Serving Tray.
