Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the USDA's Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart for more information.

Rotisserie Cooking

Always insert rotisserie accessories and food into the cooking chamber before preheating the oven.

To use the Rotisserie Spit and Forks

1. Remove the forks and screws from the package.
2. Push the food item onto the spit.
3. Slide the forks onto both ends of the spit, ensuring the prongs are inserted into the food item. Tighten the setting screws until they are secure.

CAUTION Ensure the food item is able to rotate freely in the cooking chamber. Do not allow food items to make contact with the heating elements. Truss food to secure all pieces. Insert the cooking tray to catch any grease and/or juices.

Rotisserie Cooking Steps

1. With the oven door open, insert the pointed end of the rotisserie arm into the rotisserie catch on the right.
2. Next, position the square end of the rotisserie spit in the notch on the left side of the cooking chamber. Rotate the rotisserie spit slightly to ensure it is securely in place.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Select Air Fry, Roast, Broil or Reheat.
5. Use the Temp / Time dial to adjust cooking temperature and time as desired.

Removing your rotisserie food

2. Carefully pull the accessory towards you and remove it from the cooking chamber. Place your food on a tray or heat resistant surface.
3. Using heat protection for your hands, unscrew the rotisserie forks and remove them from the food, then remove the food from the spit.

WARNING Rotisserie spit, forks, and basket will be hot during and after cooking. Always use the rotisserie lift to remove rotisserie accessories, and exercise extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the cooking chamber. Always use oven mitts when disassembling hot rotisserie accessories.

Cooking Tips

The Omni Plus toaster oven cooks all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and air fried snacks-fast!

Use the Smart Programs as a starting point and experiment with cooking times and temperatures to get the results you prefer.

• Rotisserie-cooked foods and rotisserie accessories and foods must be placed in the oven before touching Start.
• With the exception of rotisserie-cooked foods, most foods will benefit greatly from a preheated oven.
• When cooking coated food items, use an egg wash and breadcrumb batter instead of liquid-based batters to ensure that the batter will stick to the food.
• For crispy, golden fries, soak fresh potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, pat dry and spray lightly with cooking oil before inserting them into the oven.
• When baking a cake, pie, quiche, or any food with filling or batter, use an oven-safe baking dish and cover the food to prevent the top from overcooking.
• Air frying can cause oil and fat to drip from foods. If white smoke appears, carefully remove and empty the cooking pan.
• To ensure seasoning adheres to food items, spray them with cooking oil before adding seasoning.
• Use any oven-safe cookware in your Omni Plus toaster oven.

Cooking Timetable

*Note: Cooking times and temperatures are recommendations only. Always follow a trusted recipe. Visit our recipe site for a full list of cooking timetables and easy-to-follow recipes.

CAUTION Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe minimum temperature. Refer to the USDA's Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart for more information.

Care and Cleaning

Clean the Instant Omni Plus toaster oven after each use. Always unplug the toaster oven and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before use and before storage.

Note: Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads, or powders on any of the parts or components as this may lead to damage.

To remove baked on grease residue from accessories and the cooking chamber, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool. Then spray the affected area with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, and wipe clean. For stubborn stains, allow the mixture to sit on the affected area for several minutes before removing residue.
