Operation

1. Put the steel racks into container, then put the food in. Note there is some space between the food and the oven lid.
2. Insert the oven plug according to the power specification. It is not allowed to share the same plug-set with other electrical appliances.
3. Turn the timer clockwise to your required time, then the red lamp lights up.
4. Set the temperature controller clockwise to your required temperature, then the green light turns ON. The convection starts working.
5. The green lamp can be turned off before the due time. This shows the oven has achieved the set temperature. When the oven’s temperature becomes lower than what you need, the oven will automatically turn the heater on and the green lamp will also turn on to indicate heating process.

Important

1. When the convection oven works, the handles, which are linked to steel bar, will be expanded by heat and become loose, but the doesn’t matter, they will be restored when the temperature goes back down to normal.
2. Don’t put the oven lid directly on the desk after cooking, otherwise the desk will get burned. Place it on a dish, bowl or heat-resistant base.
3. The devices on the oven lid are not allowed to be washed in the water.
   Clean the lid with a piece of clean soft cloth in case it gets stained.
4. The oven body can be washed only after is completely cooled off.
