1 Read all instructions prior to using the oven and its accessories.
2 This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
3 If food contents were to catch fire during cooking, DO NOT open the oven door.
• If you can safely do so, unplug the oven immediately.
• DO NOT throw water onto the fire. Food contents may contain grease and water may cause fire growth.
• If fire were to emit from the oven door, call the fire department immediately.
• DO NOT use the oven after it has experienced a fire, it may have been damaged and present a risk of fire or shock.
4 To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, discard all packaging materials immediately upon unpacking.
5 To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT place appliance on stovetops or other hot surfaces or in a heated oven.
6 Take inventory of all contents to ensure you have all parts needed to properly and safely operate your oven.
7 DO NOT use an extension cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce
the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
8 NEVER use outlet below counter level.
9 Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used
near children.
10 DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating ovens.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
Why do the heating elements appear to be turning on and o?
• This is normal. The oven is designed to control temperature precisely for every function
by adjusting the heating elements’ power levels.
Why does the oven have a dierent temperature reading with an external thermometer?
• Convection ovens circulate air dierently than traditional ovens, so when the door is
opened, more heat will escape. This may aect any external temperature reading of the
unit’s interior temperature.
• Since this is a convection oven, it can cook more quickly than a traditional oven.
Convection cooking includes a fan that helps speed up cook time by circulating hot air
and can aect temperatures within the cavity. e time it takes the unit to heat up to the
set temperature will vary based on the amount of food being cooked, the function being
used, and the cook temperature and time. The oven features an algorithm that ensures
temperature and time settings work with most traditional oven recipes. As a result, the
temperature inside the oven may dier from the set temperature. This does not impact
cooking quality. Refer to the Inspiration Guide to learn more about recommended cook
times and temperatures.
Why is my unit not fully preheated when the preheat cycle is completed?
• During preheating, the unit will not reach the intended cooking temperature, but it will
preheat to a level that will start cooking your ingredients. As the cook cycle continues,
the oven will continue to heat up and cook your food to doneness. It may take up to 10
minutes for the unit to reach the intended cook temperature. This does not aect the
cooking quality of most recipes.
Why is steam coming out from the oven door?
• This is normal. Foods with a high moisture content may release steam around the door.
Why is water dripping onto the counter from under the door?
• This is normal. The condensation created by foods with a high moisture content
(such as frozen breads) may run down the inside of the door and drip onto the counter.
Why is the unit generating smoke?
• Ensure you are using the roast tray when cooking all greasy foods or when cooking in Air
Fry, Air Roast, or Whole Roast modes.
• If problem persists, run a Toast cycle on shade 7 with accessories removed; this will burn
o any additional grease on the heating elements that are causing smoke.
Why is my food overcooked or undercooked even though I used the thermometer?
• It is important to insert the thermometer lengthwise into the thickest part of the ingredient
to get the most accurate reading. Make sure to allow food to rest for 3–5 minutes to
complete cooking. For more information on recommended doneness while using the
Manual function and doneness temperatures while using the Preset function, refer to the
Using the Prestige Smart Thermometer section.
Will the thermometer grip melt if it touches the heating elements inside the oven?
• Make sure the grip does not touch any of the heating elements inside the oven.
How can I clean the sheet pan?
• For stuck-on food, let the sheet pan soak before cleaning.
• Line the sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper when cooking to make
clean-up easier.
Why did a circuit breaker trip while using the unit?
• The unit uses 1800 watts of power, so it must be plugged into an outlet on a 15-amp
circuit breaker. It is also important that the unit be the only appliance plugged into an
outlet when in use. To avoid tripping a breaker, make sure the unit is the only appliance
plugged into an outlet on a 15-amp breaker.

1 Read all instructions prior to using the oven and its accessories.
2 This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
3 If food contents were to catch fire during cooking, DO NOT open the oven door.
• If you can safely do so, unplug the oven immediately.
• DO NOT throw water onto the fire. Food contents may contain grease and water may cause fire growth.
• If fire were to emit from the oven door, call the fire department immediately.
• DO NOT use the oven after it has experienced a fire, it may have been damaged and present a risk of fire or shock.
4 To eliminate a choking hazard for young children, discard all packaging materials immediately upon unpacking.
5 To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT place appliance on stovetops or other hot surfaces or in a heated oven.
6 Take inventory of all contents to ensure you have all parts needed to properly and safely operate your oven.
7 DO NOT use an extension cord. A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk of children grabbing the cord or becoming entangled and to reduce
the risk of people tripping over a longer cord.
8 NEVER use outlet below counter level.
9 Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used
near children.
10 DO NOT let cord hang over edges of tables or counters or touch hot surfaces, including stoves and other heating ovens.
