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.

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.
