Tool Care

Cleaning

  • Unplug the appliance and allow to cool before cleaning.
  • Clean appliance interior with a damp cloth.
  • The crumb tray can be removed for easier cleaning by pulling out from the front under the door.
  • To clean the appliance, wipe with soft cloth or sponge dipped in neutral cleaning solution.

Do not use a hard brush or abrasive cleaners like thinner or solvent on oven surfaces.

Inspection

Before you start using the oven you are expected to do an initial inspection and assess its readiness for use.

  • Ensure that there is enough ventilation around the oven (at least four inches of space on all sides).
  • Ensure that the oven is completely dry before use.

Operation

Typical curing temperatures are around 400 degrees F. Anything that cannot handle such temperatures (rubber seals, grease, paint, etc.) must be removed before putting it in the oven.

  • Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to the desired temperature.
  • Turn the selector dial to the desired position.
  • Turn the timer dial clockwise to the desired cooking time.
  • The indicate light will light up until the desired temperature is reached.
  • Transfer the whole rack in and out - allow parts to cool before putting them on or taking them off, and before cleaning.
  • When the cooking procedure is done, turn the timer back to turn off the oven.
AFTER USE
  • Turn off the oven to allow it to cool off.
  • Set the selector dial to off position.
  • Unplug the appliance from the outlet.
