TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

FOOD COOKING TIPS

• Check the food's cooking progress
through the clear, tempered glass
door window. Your Countertop
Oven wiII perform better and be
more energy efficient if you open
the door less often.
• If top of food item browns too
fast, lower the oven rack position
or reduce temperature. If bottom
of food item browns too fast, raise
rack position or reduce temperature.
Please remember that adding the
convection option could reduce the
needed cooking time by up to 30%.
• Remove all plastic and/or paper
wrappers from foods before cooking.

CHOOSING BAKEWARE FOR COUNTERTOP OVEN USE

• The nonstick multipurpose pan
included with the Countertop Oven
is suitable for items such as cookies,
rolls, biscuits, nachos, and pork chops.
• A variety of standard baking dishes,
such as a 9" (23 cm) round or square
cake pan, a 6-cup (1.5 L) muffin pan,
small baking sheets, and 1 and 2 qt
(0.95 mL and 1.9 L) round, square,
and rectangular casserole dishes,
may be used. The door must close
completely.
• Choose bakeware made of metal,
oven-safe glass, ceramic, or silicone.
• Use only loosely covered oven-safe
containers. Airtight containers may
cause food to boil over or splatter.
• Although more energy efficient
and faster than traditional ovens,
countertop 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
Countertop Oven while in use. Only
use the included cooling rack to
gently cool food on the top of
this oven.
• Replace cardboard, glass, or plastic
lids with aluminum foil for use in the
Countertop Oven.
• Use lowest oven rack position when
using deep, oven-safe glass or
ceramic containers and allow at least
1" (2.5 cm) clearance between the
top of the container and the upper
cooking elements.
• Do not use glass lids. If a cover is
desired, use a loosely fitted sheet of
aluminum foil shiny side up or down.
• Many convenience foods are
packaged in nonmetallic containers
only suitable for use in microwave
ovens. Check package directions to
determine whether the container is
suitable for use in a regular oven.
