2. Always operate the appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.  

3. CAUTION The appliance’s outer surfaces may become hot during use.  Do not touch the metal surfaces. Use handles or dials. Wear oven mitts when  handling hot components to avoid burns. Extreme caution must be used  when moving the appliance. Let the appliance cool to room temperature  before handling or moving.  

4. CAUTION To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse  any part of the appliance in water or other liquid. Do not rinse the appliance  under a tap. Proper maintenance is recommended after each use. Let the  appliance cool to room temperature before cleaning or storage. Refer to  Care and Cleaning.  

5. CAUTION This appliance is NOT to be used by children or by persons  with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities. Close supervision is  necessary when this appliance is used near children and these individuals.  Children should not use or play with this appliance.  

6. Unplug the appliance when not in use, before assembling or disassembling  parts and before cleaning. To unplug the appliance, grasp the plug and pull  from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord. Allow to cool before putting  on or taking off parts.  

7. Regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. Do not operate an appliance  with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is  dropped or damaged in any manner. For assistance, contact Customer Care at  support@instantappliances.com or 1-800-828-7280.  

8. Do not use any accessories or attachments not authorized by Instant Brands™  Inc. The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause  a risk of injury, fire or electric shock.  

9. Avoid contact with moving parts. Failure to do so may result in injury. 

10. For household countertop use only. Do not use outdoors. Not for  commercial use. 

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

11. CAUTION Spilled food can cause serious burns. A short power-supply  cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from grabbing,  entanglement and tripping. 

• Keep the appliance and cord away from children. 

• Never drape the power cord over edges of tables or counters. • Never use below-counter power outlets, and never use with an extension cord. 

12. Do not use the appliance in electrical systems other than 120 V / 60 Hz.  Do not use with power converters or adapters or floor level power outlet.  

13. Do not place the appliance or power cord on or near a hot gas or  electric burner, or a heated oven. Heat from an external source will damage  the appliance.

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.  

CAUTION Do not spray cooking oil into the cooking chamber.

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.
