Using Your Oven (cont.)
Before Your First Use
Read all instructions in this manual carefully. The information included in this book will
help you to use your Bistro Convection Oven with Rotisserie to its fullest.
Place your oven on a level surface such as a countertop or table. Be sure the sides, back
and top of the oven are at least four inches away from any walls, cabinets or objects on the
counter or table.
Remove all stickers from the oven except the rating label located on the back.
Remove Oven Rack, Drip/Baking Pan, Broiling/Roasting Rack, Rotisserie Spit and Forks.
Wash them in hot, sudsy water or in the dishwasher and dry thoroughly before placing in
the oven.
When you are ready to use the oven, be sure that the Temperature and Time Controls are in
the “Off” position. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC outlet.
We recommend a “trial run” at a high temperature to familiarize yourself with
your oven and to eliminate any protective substance or oil that may have been used for
packing and shipping. Set the Temperature Control to “Max”, the Function Control to
“Broil”, and the Time Control to “20” minutes. After the first 10 minutes, switch the
Function Control to “Bake” to activate the lower heating elements. A small amount of
smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal.
To avoid scratching, marring, discoloration or fire hazard, do not store anything
on top of the oven, especially during operation.
This appliance requires 1,700 watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit.
