ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
Avoid Electric Shock
This product has a polarized power cord plug, meaning one blade on the
plug is wider than the other. The plug will fit into a polarized electrical outlet
only one way. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not force the plug
into an outlet. If the plug won’t fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still will
not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to modify the outlet. Do
not modify the cord plug in any way.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and it should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug. If the plug fails to fit into an existing outlet,
contact a qualified electrician to update the outlet.
Short Cord Instructions
Your Calphalon convection oven has a short power supply cord as a safety
precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting from
becoming entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow children to be near
this appliance without adult supervision. Longer detachable extension cords
are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. A short power-
supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance and the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

CLEANING AND CARE
WARNING
Unplug convection oven before cleaning. Failure to do so may result in risk
of serious injury and electric shock.
Before Cleaning
1. CANCEL – Press the Start/Cancel button if convection oven is still in
operation.
2. UNPLUG – Carefully unplug the convection oven’s power cord from
the electrical outlet by firmly grasping the plug.
3. COOL – Let the convection oven, oven rack, and baking pan cool
completely before attempting any cleaning. The crumb tray will be hot
after operating.
Cleaning the Crumb Tray
• Locate the crumb tray in the front of the convection oven at the base of
oven door.
• Using the handle, pull out the cooled crumb tray and discard
the crumbs.
• If needed, wash the crumb tray. Wash by hand using warm water and
mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
• Make sure the crumb tray is completely dry before placing it back in the
convection oven.
• Reinsert the crumb tray, making sure to push it in completely.
CAUTION
Do not operate the convection oven without the crumb tray in place. Do
not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause
overheating of the oven.
28
Cleaning the Convection Oven
• The 9 x 10-inch baking pan provided with the convection oven is
dishwasher safe.
• Wash the oven rack and crumb tray by hand using warm water and mild
detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe the inside and outside of the oven with a clean,
damp cloth.
• If desired, polish the body of the convection oven with cleansers
specifically designed for stainless steel surfaces. Avoid spraying cleaners
directly into the convection oven. Apply the cleaners on a towel prior to
wiping the unit.
• Do not immerse the convection oven in water during cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning products or cleansers, since they may
scratch the surface of the convection oven.
• Metal utensils will damage the nonstick coating. Use only nonmetal,
temperature resistant utensils such as wood or silicone.
CAUTION
Do not clean the convection oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
STORAGE
Store the convection oven upright on a clean, dry level surface. Do not
store anything on top of the convection oven.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended
accessories, in this oven when not in use.
Always clean the convection oven by removing all crumbs prior to storing.
29
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I hear a slight clicking noise while the oven is operating. Is
this a malfunction? No, the convection oven is equipped with real time
temperature feedback. The LCD will display the current oven temperature
during the pre-heating phase in order to communicate the pre-heat progress
of the oven. Once the oven temperature stabilizes to the desired set point,
the oven will no longer display real time temperature feedback. The
temperature control of the oven is designed to be highly accurate in order
to achieve optimal cooking results. As a result, a slight clicking noise will
be heard periodically indicating that the oven is maintaining accurate
temperature control.
I am pressing the Convection button, but it is not illuminating.
The convection oven chimes three times, but the convection
mode doesn’t seem to activate. What am I doing wrong? You
may be trying to select Convection while using the Broil, Toast or Bagel
modes. The convection mode is not available (or needed) during these
settings. Simply continue setting the controls without the convection
mode selected.
The same is true of trying to select the Defrost option while using Broil or
Bake. This option is not available. So, if you press the Defrost button when
setting the oven to Bake or Broil, it will chime three times to alert you that this
setting is not available.
While setting the controls for a cooking cycle, it appears the
display went dark. Is this a malfunction? If the convection oven is
allowed to sit inactive for 3 minutes, it will go into Sleep mode. This could
happen if you set the cooking cycle but forget to touch the flashing Start/
Cancel button to begin cooking. To wake up the control panel and reset it,
touch any button.
30
Why do some types of bread brown more than others when
using the same shade selection? This could be due to a several
factors. The moisture, texture, temperature, sugar content and thickness of
the slices can all affect levels of browning.
In general, fresher breads have more moisture and brown slower than
breads that are a bit drier and are closer to their expiration date. Room
temperature bread will brown quicker than refrigerated or frozen bread.
And, thin, light textured breads brown quicker than densely textured, thick
sliced breads.
While waiting for the oven to preheat for toasting a bagel, I
noticed that after a few minutes, the oven automatically shut
off. Why did this happen? Actually, preheating is not required for the
Toast and Bagel modes. So, insert your bagel in the oven before pressing
the Start/Cancel button, since the toasting cycle begins immediately.
I noticed that the heating elements inside my oven keep going
on and off. Is this a sign that it may be malfunctioning? It is
normal for the heating elements to cycle on an off to maintain a selected
temperature in the oven cavity.
My food isn’t completely warm. Why did this happen? For best
results, insert food immediately after preheating is complete to allow for
optimal results.
