ASSEMBLY GUIDE

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove and discard any packaging material from the unit.
2. Remove all accessories from their packaging and wash them in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher, top rack only. NEVER submerge the main unit in water.

Note: While most of the accessories are dishwasher-safe, the Probe is not. Hand washing is, therefore, highly recommended. Frequent dishwasher cleaning may lead to premature wear.

Grill/Griddle

For grilling steaks and roasting vegetables. Flip it to the Griddle side for baking.

Note: The Grill/Griddle must be used with the Grill/Griddle Rack.

Grill/Griddle Rack

½-inch depth is ideal for dehydrating.

Air Fry Basket

1-inch depth is perfect for making crispy chicken, fries, and more.

Wire Rack

Can be used to hold cooking or baking pans, or simply place your food directly on the rack.

Crumb Tray

Catches crumbs and drippings and must remain in the unit at all times while cooking.

Baking and Drip Tray

Ideal for baking, roasting, and as a drip pan when air frying, protecting the bottom heating elements from dripping oils and fats.

Temperature Probe

Eliminates the guesswork of cooking. Consult the temperature guide in the Probe section for more information.

The oven has 4 rack positions where most of your accessories can slide into the unit. When you select a function, the appropriate rack number(s) will illuminate on the control panel. The numbers on the control panel will coincide with those on the interior of the unit.

ALWAYS use extreme caution when handling accessories when cooking. Use oven mitts and allow accessories to cool before washing.
