HELPFUL TIPS / CLEANING AND CARE
Internal Food Temperatures Guide
When cooking poultry, always cook to the internal
temperature of 170-180ºF. Another sign for
cooked poultry is when the juices run clear. Fish
is done when it looks opaque and flakes easily
with a fork. Shellfish such as shrimp, crab, or
lobster will turn reddish pink on the outside and
opaque on the inside.
You may also refer to the markings on your
meat thermometer. This is a list of the internal
temperatures that different
foods must reach to kill
bacteria.
These are NOT the
temperatures to use
to cook the food.
ADAPTING RECIPES:
You can try your favorite recipe that is intended for conventional oven. Keep the cooking temperature the same, just reduce the
cooking time, as it will cook much faster in this infrared oven. You may use a meat thermometer to make sure the food is cooked.
Refer to Internal Food Temperature guide below.
Make sure you turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning it. Always wait until the unit cools down completely. Thoroughly
wash the glass bowl, plastic base, extender ring, cooking racks and tongs in hot soapy water and allow to dry completely. You
may also place the glass bowl and cooking racks into the dishwasher.
When washing cooking racks, do not soak them in water for long periods of time. Once washed, do not let air dry, dry racks
thoroughly with cloth or paper towel. This will preserve the surface and will extend the life of the cooking racks.
WARNING: Do not immerse the lid with control knobs, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive
cleansers. Do not place glass lid into the dishwasher.
Once unplugged from the power outlet, the surface of the glass lid can be carefully wiped clean using a damp cloth or sponge.
All parts must be dry before next use. When storing the unit, always make sure ALL parts are DRY, to avoid any moisture
collecting in the lid.
SELF CLEANING OF GLASS BOWL
If the food particles seem to be stuck to the bottom and/or sides of the glass bowl, you can perform a self cleaning.
1. Pour approximately 1 to 2 inches of water into the glass bowl, add a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid.
2. Place lid on and plug into the electrical outlet.
3. Set temperature control to WASH setting, set timer to 10 minutes.
4. Once the timer goes off, carefully open the lid and wait for the glass bowl to cool down before emptying the liquid inside.
5. Rinse the glass bowl in clean warm water to remove the soap residue.
