The oven is working when the
oven light is on. Lights below
STAGE 1, above PAUSE and

As the oven temperature rises
above 200° F, the display
temperature increases in 10° F
(210F, 220F, 230F etc.). When
the temperature in the oven
reaches the preheat
temperature, “350F or the set
temperature is displayed and a
pulsating beep tone will sound
to tell that the preheating is
over.

in the oven is quite high. Never
touch the tray or flatware with
bare hands. Open the door, the
beep sound will stop and the
temperature display will change
to “PAUS”.
Place the food inside the Oven
as quickly as possible. While the

will escape from the Oven and
the oven temperature will drop.

NOTES: To know the
temperature of the Oven during
cooking, touch OVEN
TEMP/PRE-HEAT to get “350F”
or the other set temperature in
the Display Window.
After preheating is over, the
beep tone will last until either
the door is opened or 30

The oven temperature should be
chosen in ten-degree
increments.
For example, when a
temperature of 368° F is set, you
can enter the 368°F. The Oven
will, however, stop at the
temperature of 360° F, omitting
the last digit 8°.
Avoid opening the door during the cooking often since the
hot air will escape from the Oven and the oven
temperature drops very quickly, adversely affecting the
cooking results.
*Use Pot holders to remove the Metal Rack after cooking
as the Rack may get hot during cooking.
NOTE: If you want to keep the food warm after finishing
the set cooking, you can use "Hold Warm" feature. But
metal utensils can not be used for “Hold Warm" operation
since acring may happen and damage to the oven may
result. For detailed instructions on using "Hold Warm”
features. See page 18.
