First Use
Before first use, it is recommended to run the oven empty at a high temperature (e.g., 400°F) for approximately 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor, which is normal.
Setting the Clock
Use the control buttons below the digital display to set the current time. Refer to the full manual for detailed instructions on time setting and timer functions.
5. Cooking Modes
The Magic Chef oven offers four primary cooking modes to suit various culinary needs:
- Convection Cooking: Utilizes a fan to circulate hot air evenly throughout the oven cavity, ensuring consistent cooking and faster results. Ideal for baking, roasting, and multi-rack cooking.
- Broil: Uses intense heat from the top element for browning, grilling, or toasting. Perfect for finishing dishes or cooking thinner cuts of meat.
- Fan Grill: Combines the fan with the grill element for a more even grilling experience, suitable for larger items or when a less intense broil is desired.
- Defrost: A gentle fan-assisted mode that circulates air at room temperature to safely and quickly defrost frozen foods.
