Rotisserie Cooking

We recommend that you do not cook a roast or chicken larger than 3.5 lbs. on the rotisserie skewer. Chicken should be bound in string to prevent the chicken legs or wings from unraveling during roasting and so that rotisserie assembly will rotate smoothly. For best results we recommend that you preheat the oven for 15 minutes on 450°.

Warm to 450° F for baking or rotisserie.

• Function Control - This oven is equipped with five positions for a variety of

cooking needs:

Keep Warm - To keep cooked food warm.

Broil - For broiling fish, steak, poultry, pork chops, etc.

Rotisserie - Can cook up to a 6-lb. roast or 3.5-lb chicken

Toast - Bread, muffins, frozen waffles, etc.

Bake - Cakes, pies, cookies, poultry, beef, pork, etc.

• Time Control - When you turn the control to the left, (counter-clockwise),

the oven will stay "ON" until it is manually shut "OFF". To activate the timer

segment of the control, turn to the right (clockwise) to toast or use as a timer.

This function also has a bell that rings (you will hear a "ding") at the end

of the programmed time.

Operation

rotisserie spit support located on the

left hand side of the oven wall.

• Place the broiler pan on the lowest

rack guide to catch the food

drippings.

• Turn the time control to the “STAY

ON” position.

• Use the rotisserie guide ONLY for

and standard pans.

• Drip Pan/Crumb Tray - To use with rotisserie or toast function

• Broiler Pan & Broiler Rack - For use in broiling and roasting meat, poultry,

fish and various other foods. The broiler rack allows the fat drippings to drip

into the drip pan and away from the food. This will help prevent spattering

that could result in smoke and flare ups.

• Tray/Rack Handle - Allows you to pick up the bake rack, drip pan and

broiler rack when they are hot.

rotisserie spit out of the drive socket

and carefully remove the roast from

the oven. Take the meat off of the

rotisserie and place on cutting board

or serving platter.

your roast is done.

Convection Cooking

Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the regular features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler. With the Convection Toaster Oven you will see about a 25 to 30% decrease in cooking temperature and a 20 to 25% decrease in cooking time when compared to a conventional oven.

	OVEN	TIME
MEAT	TEMP	PER LB.
BEEF ROAST	300-325	25-30 min.
PORK ROAST	325	40-45 min.
HAM	300-325	35-40 min.
CHICKEN	350	25-30 min.

Note: Always pre-heat the toaster oven at 450° F for 15 minutes before

starting to cook. All roasting times are based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer. Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended.
