b. Timed Cooking. Set timer for up to 30
minutes. At the end of cooking time, a
bell will ring once and the oven will turn
off.
NOTE: When setting the timer for less
than 10 minutes, turn the timer past
the 10-minute mark and then turn it
back to desired time.
4. Turn the Temperature Control knob to
the desired temperature for cooking.
Settings range from Warm to 450°F.
5. We recommend you preheat with the
oven closed. When the thermostat has
reached operating temperature, the red
indicator light will change to green,
signaling that the oven is ready to cook.
It may take up to 8 minutes to reach the
highest temperatures.
NOTE: During operation, the light will
turn from green to red as the thermostat
regulates the temperature. This is
normal.
6. To adjust the temperature at any time
while cooking, simply change the setting
on the Temperature Control knob. If a
higher temperature is selected, the red
indicator light will illuminate to signify
preheating. The light will turn green
when temperature is reached.
7. When you are using the Oven Central ™
as a skillet or griddle, you can save
energy by turning the Top Heater Control
switch to OFF.

USER maINTENaNCE
• The first time you use the Oven Central ™ , it
may have a slight odor and may smoke a bit.
This is normal for appliances with nonstick
surfaces.

oven during cooking, as it can become hot.
Use only the handle to open and close the
oven. We recommend you use oven mitts
when handling the oven to prevent burns.
• Never use metal utensils, as they will scratch
the nonstick plates. Instead, use wooden or
heat-proof plastic utensils.
• Never leave plastic utensils in contact with the
hot grill plates.
• After each use and before proceeding to the
next recipe, allow the unit to cool and wipe
any residue with a paper towel.
• Allow the oven to cool down completely (at
