USAGE-BASICS (Refer to p. 6 for Parts Identification)
PRIOR TO USE: IMPORTANT:
- Place the oven on a stable, heat-proof surface and make sure it is not near the edge of the table or countertop.
- Make sure that the power cord is not touching any hot surface.
- Always have enough space around the oven, so there is enough for cover when removed from the unit.
- Make sure you’ve placed the cooking racks inside the glass bowl prior to pre-heating and/or cooking.
- Always have the oven mitts ready to remove the lid and cooked food.
SETTING THE TIMER:
7. Set the timer knob to desired time by turning the knob clockwise (from 0 to 60 minutes).
IMPORTANT: When turning the timer controls, DO NOT rotate the knob counterclockwise, as it may damage the timer. If
you have set the timer for longer than required, turn the oven off and wait for the timer to naturally countdown to the
desired time. To turn the oven off, bring the handle to its upright position as this will activate the safety switch.
-You may use any oven safe pans, plates, tin foil, etc. that can be used inside the conventional oven.
TURNING UNIT ON/OFF:
8. Lower the handle until it snaps in, this will turn the unit ON. The handle MUST be flat down in its stored position for the oven to
operate. IMPORTANT: The handle operates as a safety switch, as soon as it is lifted, the oven will turn off.
Once the unit is ON, the halogen lamp and the fan will turn on. The power (red) and heat (green) lights will illuminate. The halogen
lamp along with heat (green) light will keep cycling on & off to maintain the set temperature. It will go off when the required heat
setting has been reached.
ASSEMBLY-PLACING FOOD IN UNIT:
1. Open the glass lid and place the cooking racks inside, use one or both racks, depending
on the amount of food. If only need to use 1 rack, use the lower rack.
NOTE: You may combine both trays to make it a grid when cooking foods like french fries.
Just place the high cooking rack in first, then layer the low cooking rack over the high rack.
Align to form a grid. See Diagram on right
9. If at any time you need to check on the food, simply lift the handle up to turn the oven off.
CAUTION: Before removing the glass lid always bring the handle to its upright position as this will activate the safety
switch and turn the oven off. The oven will be very hot. If using extender ring, be extra careful as it will get very hot
during cooking process. It is strongly recommended to use oven mitts when removing the glass lid.
When done checking-lower the handle until it snaps in.
2. Place food to be cooked directly on rack (preferred method). This will allow the hot air to
circulate around the food to be able to cook it faster and more even.
3. You can increase the capacity of your Super Wave Oven when cooking large foods such as
a turkey (up to about 16 lb.). Your Super Wave Oven comes with the Extender Ring that you
can place on top of the glass bowl.
10. When the timer control reaches the OFF position, the oven will turn off automatically.
Remove the lid. Check to make sure the food is fully cooked.
4. Just place the flat part of the extender ring
EXTENDER RING
NOTE: To ensure the food is cooked, use a cooking thermometer or pierce the food with a
fork to check for uncooked juices on meats and poultry. When cooking vegetables, check
for desired tenderness. Moisture may build up inside the oven when cooked food is not
removed soon after timer has gone off. The steam/moisture build-up can be avoided by
removing the food as soon as it is cooked.
over the glass bowl’s lip. The extender has its
own lip that will create a perfect seal with the
unit’s lid. See Diagrams above and on right.
Top (with lip)
Bottom (flat)
5. Close the lid. Do not lower the handle yet.
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
12. Use the tongs provided to lift out the hot cooking racks with food. See Diagram on right.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE:
6. Set the temperature knob to desired temperature by turning the knob clockwise.
Refer to cooking times/temperature guide for reference.
NOTE: The cooking time depends on the size and weight of the food to be cooked. Most
meats have recommended cooking times, those times should be used as a guide as the oven
cooks faster than conventional ovens, so you may need to allow less time to cook the food.

USAGE-DEHYDRATING FOOD/PRE-HEATING/THAWING
SUGGESTED COOKING TIMES
NOTE: Refer to the below cooking times as a guide only. Time may vary according to the weight of the food, adjust to your
preference. Always make sure to refer to the Internal Food Temperature guide on the page 13.
DEHYDRATING YOUR FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND HERBS
1. Wash the fruit or vegetables you are using and dry them. Peel the skin, if you prefer.
2. Using a sharp knife, make slices about 1/16th of an inch. If using soft fruits like bananas or any other soft fruit, briefly place it in
the freezer so it can harden. That will make the slicing much easier.
3. Place fruit slices in a lemon juice solution of 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup lemon juice for 10 minutes. When soaking banana slices,
soak only for 5 minutes. Do not soak vegetables.

HELPFUL TIPS / CLEANING AND CARE
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.
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.
This is a list of the internal
temperatures that different
foods must reach to kill
bacteria.
Beef, Lamb or Veal - Medium Rare
Beef, Lamb or Veal - Medium
Beef, Lamb, Pork or Veal - Well Done 170ºF
Chicken Breast
Chicken Thighs or Wings
Fish and Shellfish
Ground Beef or Ground Pork

These are NOT the
temperatures to use
to cook the food.
You may also refer to the markings on your
meat thermometer.
CLEANING AND CARE
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.
