Using Your Convection /Toaster Oven
with Rotisserie
Please familiarize yourself with the following oven functions and accessories
prior to first use:
• Temperature Control - Choose the desired temperature from Keep
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.
• Convection Fan - The convection fan can be used on all the functions. To
start the convection fan, press the convection on/off button to the “On”
position.
• Power "On" Light - Is illuminated whenever the oven is turned on.
• Oven Rack - For toasting, baking and general cooking for casserole dishes
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 - Roasts a variety of meats and poultry that are very tender
and juicy inside, and browned to perfection outside.
• Rotisserie Handle - Used for removing the rotisserie spit from the oven after
your roast is done.

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°.
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.
Operation
• Set temperature control to 450°F.
• Turn function control to rotisserie. Insert
pointed end of rotisserie skewer
through rotisserie spit making sure the
points of the rotisserie skewer face
in the same direction as pointed end of
rotisserie spit. Slide rotisserie skewer
towards square end of the rotisserie spit
and secure with thumbscrew. (Fig. 1)
• Secure the food to be cooked on the
rotisserie spit by inserting the rotisserie
skewer on to the food.
• Place the second rotisserie skewer into
the other end of the roast or poultry
and secure rotisserie skewer with
thumbscrew.
• Check that the food is centered and
secured to the rotisserie spit.

• Insert the pointed end of the
rotisserie spit into the drive socket
located on the right hand side of the
oven wall. Make sure the square
end of the rotisserie spit rests on the
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
suggested roasting times. Check
the doneness with a reliable meat
thermometer. Use an independent
timer to remind you to check the
meat temperature.
• When complete, turn the time
control to the “OFF” position.
• Remove the rotisserie spit by
placing the hooks of the rotisserie
handle under the grooves on either
side of the rotisserie spit . Lift the
left side of the rotisserie first by
lifting it up and out.Then pull the
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.

Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
regular features (rotisserie, 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.
Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food
significantly faster than conventional ovens.
