DT500 Series | Owner’s Guide
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 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.
11 NEVER leave the oven unattended while in use.
12 DO NOT place any object directly onto the heating elements and DO NOT cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with aluminum foil. This will
cause the oven to overheat or cause a fire.
13 DO NOT use the oven with crumb tray incorrectly installed. Crumb tray MUST be placed below lower heating elements.
14 To protect against electrical shock DO NOT immerse cord, plugs, or main unit housing in water or other liquid.
15 DO NOT use the oven with damage to the power cord or plug. Regularly inspect the oven and power cord. If the oven malfunctions or has been
damaged in any way, immediately stop use and call Customer Service.
16 DO NOT cover the air intake vents or air outlet vents while unit is operating. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may damage the unit or
cause it to overheat.

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. The 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 on the sheet pan when cooking all greasy foods, or
when using Air Fry, Air Roast, or Whole Roast functions.
• 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.
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.
Why does the unit sound like it is still running even though the power is o?
• The cooling fan may continue to run even after the unit has been turned o. This is a
normal function and should not be a source of concern. The cooling fan will stop after
the temperature of the unit reaches below 95°F (35°C).

Inspiration Guide for more guidance on cook times and temperatures.
Can I restore the unit to its default settings?

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. The 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 on the sheet pan when cooking all greasy foods, or
when using Air Fry, Air Roast, or Whole Roast functions.
• 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.
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.
Why does the unit sound like it is still running even though the power is o?
• The cooling fan may continue to run even after the unit has been turned o. This is a
normal function and should not be a source of concern. The cooling fan will stop after
the temperature of the unit reaches below 95°F (35°C).
