Make sure to lower the handle until it snaps in. The handle MUST be flat down in its stored position for the oven to operate. IMPORTANT: The handle operates as a safety switch, as soon as it is lifted, the oven will turn off.

The oven will not turn ON until the cooking timer has been set. The cooking time depends on the size and weight of the food to be cooked. Most meats have recommended cooking times, those times should be used as a guide as the oven cooks faster than conventional ovens, so you may need to allow less time to cook the food.

The halogen light will turn off by itself to maintain the set temperature. - If you haven’t lowered the handle already, make sure to lower it until it snaps in. The handle MUST be flat down in its stored position for the oven to operate.
IMPORTANT: The handle operates as a safety switch, as soon as it is lifted, the oven will turn off. - If at any time you need to check on the food, simply lift the handle up to turn the oven off.
CAUTION: Before removing the glass lid always bring the handle to its upright position as this will activate the safety switch and turn the oven off. The oven will be very hot, is strongly recommended to use oven mitts when removing the glass lid. - When the timer control reaches the OFF position, the oven will turn off automatically. Remove the lid. Check to make sure the food is fully cooked. To ensure the food is cooked, using a cooking thermometer or pierce the food with a fork to check for uncooked juices on meats and poultry. When cooking vegetables, check for desired tenderness. Moisture may build up inside the oven when cooked food is not removed soon after timer has gone off. The steam/moisture build-up can be avoided by removing the food as soon as it is cooked.
