Precise Temperature Control
The oven allows for precise temperature adjustments from 50°F to 450°F in 5°F increments, ensuring perfect results every time. Use the TEMP button and rotary knob to set your desired temperature.
Customizing Your Pizza Oven
For optimal pizza cooking, you can adjust the ratio of the top and bottom heaters from 0% to 100% using the TOP/BTM button. You can also adjust the convection fan speed. For example, to achieve a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheesy toppings, set the bottom heaters at 70% power and top heaters at 30%.

Multi-Layer Even Cooking
The upgraded convection system ensures a temperature difference of only 0-1°F between each layer, allowing for more even and efficient multi-layer cooking. This saves time and energy while ensuring consistent results.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Bravo Pro Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo.
- Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
- Interior Cleaning: For the interior, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn food residue, a non-abrasive sponge with mild soap can be used. Ensure the interior is completely dry before next use.
- Accessories: The cooking rack, baking pan, air fry basket, and removable crumb tray can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. These accessories may also be dishwasher safe (check individual accessory instructions if provided).
- Crumb Tray: The removable crumb tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fire hazards.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the main oven unit, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your appliance, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; appliance not switched on. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Press the ON/OFF button. Check your circuit breaker. |
| Food is not cooking evenly. | Overcrowding the oven/basket; incorrect rack position; not preheated. | Avoid overcrowding. Use the recommended rack position for the selected function. Always preheat the oven. Flip or shake food halfway through cooking. |
| Smoke or unusual odor during operation. | First use burn-off; food residue/grease buildup; excessive oil. | A slight odor/smoke is normal during first use. If persistent, unplug and allow to cool. Clean the interior and crumb tray thoroughly. Reduce the amount of oil used. |
| Temperature not reaching desired setting. | Oven not preheated; door not fully closed. | Allow sufficient time for preheating. Ensure the oven door is fully closed during operation. |
User Tips
- Preheat for Best Results: Always preheat the oven, especially for air frying and baking, to ensure consistent cooking temperatures and optimal results.
- Optimize Pizza Cooking: Utilize the TOP/BTM heater adjustment for pizzas. A higher bottom heat percentage (e.g., 70%) helps achieve a crispy crust, while a lower top heat (e.g., 30%) ensures cheese melts perfectly without burning.
- Don't Overcrowd: For air frying, avoid overcrowding the air fry basket. This allows hot air to circulate freely, resulting in crispier food. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Shake or Flip: For even cooking and browning, especially when air frying or roasting smaller items, shake the basket or flip the food halfway through the cooking cycle.
- Use the Crumb Tray: Always keep the removable crumb tray in place to catch drips and crumbs, making cleanup easier and preventing smoke.
