• Place food directly on rack, unless otherwise specified.
• Secure lid on oven.
• Push safety handle down to "ON" position.
• Set thermostat.
• Set timer.
NOTE: Use the lower rack for all recipes unless otherwise

NOW YOU'RE COOKING!
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
LIGHT CLEANING
• Unplug oven and let cool.
• Use a sponge or dishcloth with a mild dishwashing deter-
gent and warm water to wipe glass bowl clean.
• Rinse well to remove all detergent.
• Note: Never immerse the lid in any liquid.
NORMAL CLEANING
• Unplug oven and let cool.
• Wipe lid and fan housing using a dishcloth or damp
sponge with a mild dishwashing detergent.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads or abrasive materials.
• Wash wire racks in mild dishwashing detergent and
water.
• Clean metal parts using a sponge or dishcloth with a mild
dishwashing detergent, then wipe clean. If scrubbing is
necessary, use a nylon or polyester mesh pad.
SELF CLEANING OF GLASS BOWL
• To self clean glass bowl, fill with hot water to the water fill
line marked on the side of the bowl (approximately 1 1/2
inches of water).
NOTE! DO NOT FILL WITH WATER ABOVE THE WATER LINE
MARKED ON THE BOWL.
• Add one squeeze of mild dishwashing detergent.
• Replace lid and plug in.
• Set heat control to "wash" and set timer for 10 minutes.
(The hot air circulation creates the turbo action that helps
release stubborn residue from bowl.)
• After cleaning rinse in warm water to remove all soap
residue.
DISHWASHER-SAFE GLASS BOWL
The glass bowl and wire racks may also be washed in the
dishwasher.
However, never wash the lid in a dishwasher or immerse it
in liquid.
Remove the glass bowl from its stand before dishwashing.

COOKING TIPS
TO USE YOUR TURBO OVEN TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL,
HERE ARE A FEW COOKING TIPS TO REMEMBER...
• WHENEVER POSSIBLE PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY ON THE
WIRE RACK
Cooking on a wire rack allows the hot air to circulate freely
around the food, cooking it quickly and evenly without
turning.
• COOKING A COMPLETE MEAL AT ONCE
By using two levels of racks, it is easy to cook an entire meal
at once. Keep in mind that different foods and different
weights of foods take different amounts of time to cook.
Think ahead. Put the food that takes the longest amount of
time to cook on the bottom rack. Later on during the
cooking process, put the other food on the top rack. Now
your complete meal of meat, potatoes and vegetables are
all cooked together and will be ready at the same time.
• PLACING FOODS FOR OPTIMUM COOKING
When placing several pieces of food on the wire rack, be
sure to leave at least 1/2-inch between the food and the
side of the glass bowl. This space allows the air to flow
freely through the oven.
Also avoid stacking food on food in order to cook more at
one time. The hot air must circulate freely in order to cook
the food properly.
• KEEPING FOOD CRISP
After the food is cooked, turn the thermostat down, keeping
the fan running. Your food will stay hot and crisp.
• TO MAKE YOUR CLEAN-UP EVEN EASIER
Before cooking, spray the oven, including the racks and
pans, with a non-stick product first. Wiping away the grease
and residue after cooking will be even easier.
• ADAPTING RECIPES
As a rule of thumb, when using recipes intended for con-
ventional ovens, temperatures will remain the same but
cooking times will be less.
The cooking times in the recipes in this book should be
used as a guide. You need to judge whether your piece of
meat weighs less or more than that which is used in the
recipe and slightly adjust your cooking time. When working
with the Turbo Oven for the first time, we suggest using a
meat thermometer. Watch the cooking progress through the
glass bowl. After a short time you will easily be able to adapt
your favorite recipes for the AMERICAN HOME.
