Getting Started

Unpacking

• Remove and safely discard all packing materials. Avoid using sharp tools that can damage the contents. Remove all labels before first use.
• Verify all components are present. See page 7. If any item is missing, please contact us at cafeappliances.com (if in Canada, contact us at cafeappliances.ca).
  NOTE: This appliance is intended for indoor household use only.

Preparing the Oven

• It is recommended to wipe the interior walls of the oven with a damp, wet sponge before first use. Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads, or cloths that can damage the cavity surfaces.
• It is recommended to thoroughly clean all accessories before first use. Accessories may be cleaned in a dishwasher, but it is recommended to clean by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Place the oven on a level, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure the oven has at least 4″ (10cm) of clearance on all sides of the unit.
• Do not place or store any items on top of the oven, except for the included accessories.

Powering the Oven

• Unravel the power cord and plug it into a grounded 120V power outlet. The appliance alarm will sound, and the control display will illuminate.
• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not let the power cord contact hot surfaces. Read and follow all safeguards described on pages 4-5.

Before First Use

• It is recommended to operate the oven empty on Air Fry mode for 20 minutes at 400°F before first use. This will ensure that any protective films on the heating elements are removed.
• When using the oven for the first time, the oven may emit visible vapors and/or a slight odor. The vapors and odor are normal, safe, and not detrimental to the oven. Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

Cooking Modes
Your Café oven includes 14 unique oven modes to provide versatility in cooking and food preparation.

• Air Fry
  The Air Fry mode is ideal for browning and crisping the exterior of foods. By combining intense heat and airflow, it can produce a taste and texture similar to deep frying without the need to submerge the food in oil.
• Bake
  The Bake mode is ideal for cooking foods that generally lack structure before the cooking process, such as cakes, muffins, pastries, pies, lasagnas, and casseroles. Food will be cooked thoroughly and evenly, which also makes this mode suitable for packaged frozen meals.
• Broil
  The Broil mode is ideal for quickly searing meats (e.g., steaks or fish), crisping vegetables (e.g., potatoes), or browning the top surface of foods (e.g., casseroles).
• Roast
  The Roast mode is ideal for cooking foods that are generally solid before the cooking process, including a wide variety of meats, poultry, and vegetables. Foods will be tender and moist on the inside, while developing a crispy texture on the exterior.
• Reheat
  The Reheat mode is ideal for reheating already cooked foods, such as leftovers, without overcooking or drying out the food.
• Warm
  The Warm mode is useful for keeping freshly cooked meals warm while waiting for guests or preparing the rest of the meal.
• Slow Cook
  The Slow Cook mode is ideal for cooking foods that require extended cooking times at lower oven temperatures.
• Dehydrate
  The Dehydrate mode is ideal for dehydrating foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and jerky. By combining low heat and steady airflow, the food will dry out evenly without cooking it.
• Proof
  The Proof mode can maintain low oven temperatures, which makes it ideal for proofing dough or fermenting yogurt.
• Cookie
  The Cookie mode is ideal for baking cookies. Regardless of whether homemade or pre-packaged, Cookies will be cooked gently and evenly.
• Pizza
  The Pizza mode is ideal for cooking frozen pizzas. The oven will melt the cheese, heat toppings, and crisp the crust.
• Bagel
  The Bagel mode is ideal for browning the cut sides of bagels while lightly toasting the opposite surface. This mode may also be used to toast other similar foods such as English muffins.
• Toast
  The Toast mode is ideal for browning the outside surfaces of bread slices while maintaining a soft and moist inside. This mode may be used for a wide variety of bread types and thicknesses.
• Crisp Finish
  The Crisp Finish mode is ideal for melting, caramelizing, browning, or crisping the top of any food. Use Crisp Finish after any other cooking mode to add the perfect finishing touch on any of your signature dishes.

Cooking Modes Overview

Using Your Oven

Selecting the Cooking Mode

• To select the cooking mode, rotate the Cook Mode knob until the desired cooking mode is shown on the control display. When using the oven for the first time, default cooking settings will be displayed. Otherwise, the oven will always store the last used settings for any given cooking mode.
• NOTE: The Crisp Finish cooking mode must be selected by pressing the Crisp Finish button.

Adjusting Cooking Mode Settings

• The settings for each cooking mode can be adjusted by using the Temp/Time knob. The knob can be rotated clockwise to increase the setting value, or it can be rotated counterclockwise to decrease the setting value. The Temp/Time knob also functions as a button. Pushing the button will toggle between the settings being adjusted (Slices/Shade or Temperature/Time).

Starting the Oven

• After selecting the desired cooking mode and adjusting the settings, place the food in the oven and press the Start button to begin the cooking cycle.

Using Your Oven

Preheating the Oven

• For BAKE, ROAST, and COOKIE modes only: Upon starting one of these cooking modes, the “Preheating” indicator will illuminate on the control display, and the oven will begin heating to the set temperature. During this time, the progress bar will scroll, and the cooking timer will not count down.
• NOTE: If PREHEAT OFF is selected in the oven settings, the oven will skip the preheat mode, and the cooking timer will begin counting down immediately. See page 17 for details.
• NOTE: The Preheat mode may be skipped manually by pressing the Start button a second time. The cooking timer will begin counting down immediately.
• When the oven temperature reaches the set temperature, the oven alarm will sound, and the “Preheating” indicator will disappear. The “Press Start” reminder will illuminate on the control display, indicating that the oven is ready. The oven will maintain the set temperature for 10 minutes. If the Start button is not pressed within 10 minutes, the oven will automatically turn off.

Settings

Control Lock

• The oven features a Control Lock mode. When enabled, the oven will ignore any user input, and the oven cannot be operated.

To enable Control Lock mode:

• Press the Settings button and use the Temp/Time knob to select “CONTROL LOCK”.
• Rotate the Temp/Time knob to toggle the Control Lock status (On/Off).
• Press the Temp/Time knob to confirm the desired setting.

When enabled, a lock icon will appear on the control display. If a button is pressed or a knob is turned when Control Lock is enabled, the oven will beep and the lock icon will flash. To disable Control Lock mode, simply follow the same steps as above.

Preheat

• By default, some of the cooking modes for the oven have a built-in preheating mode. If desired, Preheating may be disabled for all cooking modes.

To toggle preheating on or off:

• Press the Settings button and use the Temp/Time knob to select “PREHEAT”.
• Rotate the Temp/Time knob to toggle the Preheat setting (On/Off).
• Press the Temp/Time knob to confirm the desired setting.
  NOTE: If Preheat is enabled, the preheating mode may be skipped manually by pressing the Start button once to start the cooking mode and pressing the Start button a second time to skip preheat. The cooking timer will immediately begin counting down.

Brightness

The brightness of the control display may be adjusted. By default, the display brightness is set to the maximum level. To adjust the brightness setting:

• Press the Settings button and use the Temp/Time knob to select “BRIGHTNESS”.
• Rotate the Temp/Time knob to increase or decrease the brightness to the desired level.
• Press the Temp/Time knob to confirm the desired setting.
