 |
 |

 |
 |
| Run rotisserie shaft through the cavity of the poultry. Secure the rotisserie fork between the legs and into the back of the poultry then tighten down the screw on the rotisserie fork. | Place the other rotisserie fork on the shaft that has already been inserted. Slide down and secure the rotisserie fork into both sides of the breast. Tighten down the screw on the rotisserie rod. Load into the oven. |
CLEANING & CARE
- Unplug the appliance and allow it to completely cool before cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleaning agent to a cloth, not directly onto the surface of the appliance. Do not use excessive pressure when cleaning the area of the control panel as it could cause the text to be removed over time.
- To clean the interior walls and bottom of the oven (remove the crumb tray first), use a damp soapy cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products including oven cleaner sprays, as these could damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads on the appliance or accessories.
- The wire rack, baking pan, air fryer basket and crumb tray can be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water using a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush. These parts are also dishwasher safe.
- Always clean the crumb tray after each use. Excess food particles could cause smoking and will be hard to remove from the tray. To remove baked-on grease or burnt food particles, soak the crumb tray in hot, sudsy water or use nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the crumb tray in place.
- The rotisserie shaft, forks, screws, and removal tool can be cleaned with a cloth or sponge in hot, sudsy water. For stubborn stains soak them in hot sudsy water before cleaning.
- The top interior of the appliance should be cleaned to remove excess grease that may accumulate after cooking greasy foods or after using the rotisserie function.
Doing so will prevent smoking in the oven during subsequent uses.
