OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This cooking technology allows foods to cook more evenly and quickly, significantly
reducing cooking times. The oven's preset cooking temperatures and times, as well
as the cooking temperature and time directions on pre-packaged foods, may need
to be adjusted depending on the recipe, the amount of food and your personal taste.
We recommend experimenting with the temperature and time settings to produce
the desired results.
The cooking temperature and time can be adjusted before or during the
cooking cycle:

SETTING COOK TIME AND TEMPERATURE

The Time setting is displayed in blue figures
on the LED screen. The Temperature setting
is displayed in orange figures.

select either the Time or Temperature
setting for adjustment. The selected setting
will blink for 10 seconds. During that time
turn the Time Temp dial to adjust the
setting. Press the Time/Temp control
button again to switch to the other setting.
The setting will blink for 10 seconds to
allow for adjustment. Turn the dial left to
reduce the setting; turn right to increase setting.
