Crumb Tray

Grasp the handle at the front of the oven and pull out the crumb tray. Dispose of crumbs and wash the tray in warm, sudsy water. Remove stubborn spots with a nylon mesh pad. Be sure to dry thoroughly before slipping the Tray back into the oven.

Cooking Containers

1.	The inside dimensions of this Oven are 10-5/16" x 11" x 6" This size allows for
	many different types of baking containers. Keep interior dimensions in mind
	when purchasing cooking containers.
2.	Metal, ovenproof glass without lids or ceramic bakeware may be used in your
	oven. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the edge of the container and
	the food being cooked is at least 1" (2.54 cm) away from upper heating
	elements.
3.	Some frozen foods are packaged in paper or plastic containers suitable for
	microwave or regular ovens. Do not use paper or plastic containers in the
	Infrawave™ Oven. Simply transfer food to an Infrawave™ Oven compatible
	container: If there are any questions regarding the use of a specific container,
	contact the food manufacturer.
4.	Some items which should never be used in your Oven:
	• Glass lids on glass or metal bakeware. (If a cover is needed, use aluminum foil
	and be careful that it does not touch the heating elements.)
	• Air-tight packages such as sealed pouches or cans.

• Plastic wrapping such as oven roasting bags or paperboard covers.

• Containers larger than those recommended.

• Containers with warnings against use in range-type or toaster ovens.

A few notes on your Infrawave™ Speed Cooking Countertop Oven:

• During cooking, the interior lights will cycle on and off. This is because the

Infrawave™ Oven doesn’t cook by a specific temperature. It cooks by cycling

its heater lights on and off.

When I make a casserole, it tends to brown too quickly on the top.

With deep-dish casseroles (including lasagne), the top may brown more quickly than with conventional ovens. Place a piece of aluminum foil over your casserole dish during the cooking process and remove it at the end of the cooking cycle.

• A beep will sound when pressing most control panel buttons.

• Since infrared waves can go through glass, cooking can be improved with an

oven-safe, glass dish.
