• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may

cause injuries.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

• To disconnect, turn all controls to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug

in any way.

• Use extreme caution when removing the trays or disposing of hot grease.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off of the pad and touch

including curtains, draperies, walls and the like, when in operation. Do not store

any item on top of appliance when in operation.

• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other

than metal or glass. Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers

recommended accessories in this oven when not in use.

• Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: plastic, paper or

cardboard.

• Do not cover racks, trays or any parts of the oven with aluminum foil, as

overheating will occur.

• Always turn control to “OFF” and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

• This device is not intended to heat oil or other liquids.

• Do not use sharp utensils to clean oven door glass as scratching may weaken it

and cause shattering.

• Do not touch heating elements as serious burns may result.

• Set cooking containers, pans, and trays on a hot pad, trivet or other heat

protective surface. Do not set directly on the counter, table or other surface.

• Failure to clean after each use may result in fire hazard.

• Be extremely cautious of steam as you lift the cover.

• Unplug oven and close door if fire is observed.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer, detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is

not recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the

detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as

the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type,

the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be

arranged so that it will not hang over the counter top or tabletop where it can be

pulled by children or tripped over.

• Do not attempt to repair this product yourself.

any edge.

2. Open the cover and position the trivet with handles in to the oven. Note: The

trivet should always be in position in the oven while cooking.

COOKING TIPS

• Some foods such as self rising pizzas, pies, quiches, and pastry based foods

are prone to rising during baking or cooking. Monitor these closely to prevent

them from contacting the upper heating element.

• Suggested cooking times and heating element selections are to be used as a

guide only. Experiment with cooking times and element selections for best

results.

• The QuikServe

™

Oven will not operate unless a time is displayed.

• The QuikServe

™

Oven can not be programmed or operated with the cover open.

• Some snack foods require turning for even and thorough heating. Use the

handles provided on the trivet to remove the baking tray. Turn the food and

replace the trivet and baking tray in to the oven. Continue heating.

• Pre-packaged frozen foods will require some amount of experimentation to

achieve the correct cooking times and heating element combinations.

CLEANING YOUR QUIKSERVE

™

OVEN

CAUTION: Before cleaning any part of the oven, always press the “POWER” button

to turn the oven off, unplug the cord from the electrical outlet and allow the oven to

cool completely.

1. The baking tray and trivet are immersible and can be washed in warm, soapy

water, rinsed and dried thoroughly or in an automatic dishwasher. Note: Do not

use any metal or abrasive scouring pads or cleaners, or soak the baking tray for

more than one hour as damage to the finish may occur.

2. Wipe the exterior of the oven and glass viewing window with a soft, damp cloth

and dry. Note: Do not use any type of scouring pad or cleaner on the exterior

surfaces or the glass viewing window as scratching will occur. If glass is

scratched, it can weaken and shatter.

3. Wipe the interior of the oven with a damp cloth, wipe clean and dry. Be careful

when wiping around the heating elements to prevent damage. Note: Do not

use any metal or abrasive scouring pads, cleaners or oven cleaner on the inside

of the oven, as damage will occur.

CAUTION: Never immerse the QuikServe

™

Oven or cord in water or any other

liquids.

• Do not remove any components from the appliance except the trivet and baking

tray.

• With extended use, some natural discoloration on the interior of the appliance

will occur.
