General Information
If your electric power line
or outlet voltage is less
than normal 120 volts,
cooking times may be
longer.
To test a dish for safe use,
put it into the oven with a
cup of water beside It.
Cook on high Cook Power
for one minute. if the dish
gets hot and water stays
cool, do not use it.
If time is left on the timer when
you remove food from the oven,
turn the timer to “OFF” before
closing the door. This prevents
the oven from operating.
If
you
need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these four steps:

circuit breaker box?

a power failure?

long:
