SAFEGUARDS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
ALWAYS KEEP THIS MANUAL HANDY FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. Read all instructions.
2. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not
immerse cord, plugs, or (state specific
part or parts in question) in water or other
liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
6. DO NOT operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Any service
MUST be done by Nuwave LLC or
authorized by the manufacturer for
repairs.
7. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. DO NOT use outdoors (this item may
be omitted if the product is specifically
intended for outdoor use).
9. DO NOT let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
12. ALWAYS attach plug to appliance first,
then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then
remove plug from wall outlet.
13. DO NOT use appliance for other than
intended use.
14. Save these Instructions
15. Ensure the Bravo XL Pro and all parts are
clean and dry before each use.
16. Discard the protective plastic covering.
17. This appliance is not intended for use
by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, children,
or persons with a lack of experience
or knowledge, unless supervised or
instructed in the use of the appliance by
one responsible for their safety.
18. Use only on a clean, stable, dry, and
level surface.
19. DO NOT cover or block the intake air
vents located in the back and sides
of the Bravo XL Pro, as doing so can
prevent proper ventilation. There should
be at least 5 inches of free space
behind, to the sides of, and on top of the
Bravo XL Pro.
20. Use aluminum foil to wrap foods that
produce oil or juice when operating the
Drip/Baking Pan to catch drippings and
prevent re.
21. To prevent re, do not allow any foil to
touch the heating elements.
nuwavenow.com | 5
Toaster Oven Warnings (UL Standard
1026, Section 71.7):
1. Oversize foods or metal utensils must
not be inserted in a toaster oven as
they may create a re or risk of electric
shock.
2. A re may occur if the toaster-oven is
covered or touching ammable material,
including curtains, draperies, walls, and
the like, when in operation. DO NOT
store any item on top of the appliance
when in operation.
3. DO NOT clean with metal scouring pads.
Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts creating a risk of electric
shock.
4. Extreme caution should be exercised
when using containers constructed of
materials other than metal or glass.
5. DO NOT store any materials, other than
the manufacturers recommended acces-
sories, in this oven when not in use.
6. DO NOT place any of the following
materials in the oven: paper, cardboard,
plastic, cloth, wood, ammable materi-
als, sealed containers, and the like.
7. DO NOT cover the crumb tray or any
part of the oven with metal foil. This will
cause overheating of the oven.
8. Turn off the Bravo XL Pro by pressing
the On/Off Button before unplugging
the unit from the wall socket.
Power-Supply Cords
A short power-supply cord (or detachable
power-supply cord) is provided to reduce
the risk of becoming entangled in, or trip-
ping over, a longer cord. Longer detachable
power-supply cords or extension cords
are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If a longer detach-
able power-supply cord or extension cord is
used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the ex-
tension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over any countertop
or tabletop where it could be pulled on or
tripped over unintentionally.
3. The Bravo XL Pro should be operated
on a separate electrical outlet from other
operating appliances due to wattage
limitations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform
any servicing other than that which is contained in
these instructions.
To disconnect the Bravo XL Pro, turn it off by pressing
the ON/OFF button and then remove the plug from
the wall outlet.
NEVER use the Bravo XL Pro with loose, damaged,
or missing parts.
While cooking, ALWAYS use oven mitts and allow
accessories to cool before washing.
22. Avoid placing your face near the glass
door during use.
23. Never touch the insides of the Bravo XL
Pro while it is operating.
24. Never leave the Bravo XL Pro
unattended during use.
25. DO NOT disassemble the Bravo XL Pro.
26. Allow the Bravo XL Pro to cool before
putting in or pulling out items or before
cleaning.
27. Keep this manual handy for future
reference.

ASSEMBLY GUIDE
1. Remove and discard any packaging material, tape, and stickers, from the unit.
2. Remove all accessories from their packaging and wash them in warm, soapy water or in
the dishwasher, top rack only, except for the Probe. NEVER submerge the main unit in
water.
While most of the accessories are dishwasher-safe, the Probe is not. Hand washing is
recommended. Frequent dishwasher cleaning may lead to premature wear.
Before First Use
1. Place the Bravo on a level, even, and stable heat resistant surface.
2. Slide the Cooking Rack or Chrome Mesh Rack into Position 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the Bravo.
3. The Grill/Griddle is to be used with the Mesh Rack.
4. Place Crumb Tray into position by sliding it into slot at bottom of the Bravo. To remove,
push it down slightly and pull it out.
5. Plug the appliance into a standard wall socket. The power cord is located at the rear of
the Bravo.
NOTE:
It is perfectly normal for your new unit to produce a heated plastic smell when
used for the first time. This will go away after the first few uses.
