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). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in anyway.

WARNING: All metal items in the oven, such as the liner pan
and cooking rack can get very hot during cooking. Please be
careful when removing these items from a hot oven. Always
wear oven mitts or use pot holders. Allow liner pan and cooking
rack to cool completely before cleaning. The dome opening may
expand slightly when hot. In rare instances, the power head
could detach itself from the dome completely thereby causing
hot air to escape from between the dome and the power head.

• Place liner pan inside base tray.
• Place dual level cooking rack on the liner pan
according to cooking requirements.
• Place food on the cooking rack.
• Place dome over food and on to base tray.
The dome should fit on to the base evenly.
• Place power head into the rim of the dome (image A)
and lock it into place by rotating the power head
clockwise until the locking lugs are engaged (image B).
• Set cook time and power level according to
cooking requirements.
TO SECURE THE NUWAVE MINI FOR EASY
TRANSPORTING:
The NuWave
®
Mini
TM
Oven is equipped with specially
designed “clips” built into the base handles for convenience.
Locking the oven with the clips can be done in 4 easy steps:
1) With fingertips, gently pull “clips” from closed position in handles out
away from base.
2) Rotate clips to a 45 degree angle, lift up at angle.
3) Position the clips so that the dome’s rim is centered in the groove of the clips
4) Gently slide the clips forward towards the dome to secure in in place.
5) Make sure that the power head is completely fastened to the dome and the
clips are locked in place before picking the oven up. Always lift oven with one
hand on the handle and one hand underneath the oven’s base for support.
6) To unlock the clips from the dome, simply reverse the steps.
CAUTION: Never lock the oven with the clips when cooking.
GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Make sure the unit is safely plugged into a properly grounded outlet and that
the cord is not touching any hot objects.
• Make sure that the liner pan has been placed within the base.
• Do not place the liner pan directly onto a stove burner or direct heat source.
Damage may result.
• Metal or glass dishes, pans, and foil or anything used in a regular oven may
be safely used within the NuWave Mini Oven.

*MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR LINER PAN:
Our customers safety and well being are very important to us. We are continually looking to better
our products in ways that will benefit you. A good example of what helps separate us from many
other products in the market is the quality and safety of the NuWave Mini Oven’s liner pan.
Many cookware products are still using chemicals such as PTFE and PFOA to make non-stick
cookware. PTFE and PFOA are extremely dangerous chemicals with a melting point of
327 degrees C that can affect a person's health in various ways. Through our research, we have
found that one of the healthiest, most durable, easy to clean, and stick resistant cooking surfaces
available is enamel.
The enamel coating is an advanced method of applying a protective finish to products, such as our
liner pan. The ceramic powder used for the process is made out of porcelain particles that are
durable, high-quality and create an attractive finish. Furtermore, enamel coated surfaces are the
longest-lasting and are resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. The maximum temperature
resistance is impressive at up to 840 degrees C.
Enamel coated product is safe to use with all utensils, including metal. By following the guidelines
above you will extend the lifetime of your liner pan.
* Avoid direct contact of any acidic substance such as lemon to the inner pan surface.
* Avoid any impact on a hard surface can cause the pan to dent or chip.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Lift dome only by the handle on the power head. Once
the power head and the dome are assembled, the
handle on the power head will allow you to lift both
together when removing or checking food.
When removing the liner pan while it is still hot, be
extremely careful and always use oven mitts.
For best results, follow the time, power, and cooking
rack height instructions given in the cooking chart and the
book.
No pre-heating required.
HOW TO OPEN POWER HEAD AND DOME ASSEMBLY
Make sure the power head is tightly locked onto the dome, then the whole
assembly can be easily lifted and put aside as shown in steps 1, 2 and 3.
Step 1: Place dome holder either in the back of the oven or off to the side.
Step 2: Make sure both feet of the dome holder are placed inside the base as
shown, and the dome holder is resting horizontally on a flat surface.
Step 3: Place the assembled power head and dome at a 45° angle on
the dome holder as shown.
C A U T I O N
Do not touch the dome or any surface on the cooking
area during operation. The air inside the dome can
reach 329°F (165°C) which makes the surface very hot
and may cause burns.
Do not open the dome or remove the power head while
it is still operating. Turn the cook time dial to “OFF” first
to turn off the power before removal, or if digital oven,
push “PAUSE”.

of screws or cracking of handle."
IMPORTANT TIPS:
1. Check the power outlet for proper operation. Do not operate the unit with
other major appliances in the same power outlet. Check power level if the
unit cooks too slowly.
2. Check to see if electrical plug is properly plugged into the outlet.
3. Always turn off and unplug the unit before washing.
4. Moisture may build up inside the dome when cooked food is not removed
soon after cook time has expired. The steam / moisture build up can be
avoided by doing the following:
• Remove food soon after it is done cooking.
• If it is desirable to keep the food warm until served,
reset cooking time at a lower power level (1 or 2).

GENERAL RULES:
• Use food combinations that take about the same time for each to cook. For
example: pork or chicken and potato wedges; fish and stewed tomatoes; or
frozen beef with baked potatoes.
• To avoid burning, place aluminum foil over the food.
• Remember that the infrared rays do not penetrate the aluminum but the heat
will circulate throughout the oven.
• Use shallow dishes or light aluminum pans for cooking.
• For warming bread, place it on the 1/4” rack or the liner pan and cover with
aluminum foil. For grilling bread, place it on the 1” rack
.
