Need help?Do you have a question about the Oster TSSTTV-ELXLDAF3 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Oster Extra Large Digital Air Fry Oven, model TSSTTV-ELXLDAF3, is a versatile countertop appliance designed for a variety of cooking functions, including air frying, baking, toasting, broiling, roasting, warming, and pizza cooking. This instruction manual provides comprehensive guidance on its operation, maintenance, and safety, ensuring users can maximize its potential for household countertop use.
The Oster Extra Large Digital Air Fry Oven combines multiple cooking methods into a single unit, making it a convenient addition to any kitchen. Its primary functions include:
Air Fry: This function allows for cooking with circulating hot air, producing crispy results with little to no oil. It's ideal for items like hand-cut fries, frozen fries, chicken wings, chicken breast cutlets, chicken tenderloins, hamburgers, pork chops, breaded fish, frozen chicken nuggets, frozen chicken fingers, frozen mozzarella sticks, frozen onion rings, frozen mixed vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and carrots. The air fry function often includes a preheat step to ensure optimal cooking temperatures are reached before food is introduced. For foods with high fat content or frozen items, oil may not be necessary. For other foods, a small amount (approximately one tablespoon) of oil can be used to achieve crispier and browner results.
Bake: The bake function is suitable for traditional oven cooking, such as muffins or casseroles. It typically involves a preheat cycle to bring the oven to the desired temperature before baking begins. The baking pan is usually placed on top of one of the racks for this function.
Toast: Designed for toasting bread, waffles, and muffins, this function allows users to select a desired shade. Lighter breads and waffles require a lighter setting, while darker breads, muffins, and English muffins may need a darker setting. The wire rack is typically placed in the middle position for toasting.
Broil: This function uses direct top-down heat for browning and cooking. It does not usually require preheating. For broiling, the baking pan is inserted into the guide rails below the rack, and the food is placed on top of the rack.
Roast: Similar to baking but often used for larger items like meats or vegetables, the roast function also includes a preheat step. The baking pan is usually placed on top of one of the racks.
Warm: This function is used to keep cooked food warm without further cooking. It typically does not require preheating.
Pizza: Specifically designed for cooking pizzas, this function includes a preheat cycle to ensure the oven is at the correct temperature for optimal pizza cooking. The baking pan is usually placed on top of one of the racks.
The oven features a digital display for time and temperature, along with control buttons for selecting functions, adjusting settings, and starting/canceling operations. A preheat feature is available for Bake, Air Fry, Pizza, and Roast functions, indicated by "PrE" on the display. The oven will beep when the desired temperature is reached, prompting the user to press start to begin cooking. This preheat step can be bypassed by pressing the start button a second time.
The Oster Extra Large Digital Air Fry Oven is designed for user-friendly operation with several key features:
Rack Positions: The oven offers three rack positions, allowing flexibility for different cooking needs and food sizes. The appropriate rack position depends on the selected cooking function and the type of food being prepared. For example, the middle rack is generally used for baking and toasting, while the top rack is often recommended for broiling.
Accessories: The oven comes with several accessories, including an air fry rack, a baking pan, a wire rack/broil rack, and a crumb tray/cookie sheet. The specific accessories may vary depending on the model purchased. The baking pan can be placed on top of the wire rack or inserted into the guide rails below the rack, depending on the cooking method. When air frying foods with high fat content, it's recommended to place the wire rack with the baking pan on top in the bottom rack position to catch drippings.
Digital Controls: The appliance features a digital interface with control buttons for easy selection of cooking functions, temperature adjustments (using arrow keys), and time settings (using arrow keys). A "Start" button initiates the cooking process, and a "Cancel" button stops it.
Clock Setting: Upon initial setup, users can set the clock by pressing the "Clock" button, using arrow keys to adjust the hour and minutes, and then pressing the "Clock" button again to confirm.
Door Operation: The oven door is designed to be opened by grabbing the center of the handle underhanded with fingertips and pulling down carefully. The glass door is made of tempered glass, and users are advised to inspect it for any damage before use.
Safety Features: The oven includes important safety safeguards. It generates heat during use, so users are cautioned to use handles or knobs and protect their hands with oven mitts. The appliance is intended for household countertop use only and should be kept 6 inches (152 mm) clear from walls and on all sides. It should always be used on a dry, stable, level surface. The appliance also features a polarized plug for electrical safety.
Proper care and cleaning are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of the Oster Extra Large Digital Air Fry Oven:
Cleaning: Before cleaning, the oven must be unplugged and allowed to cool completely. The body of the unit should not be immersed in water. The air fry rack, baking pan, wire rack, and removable crumb tray can be cleaned with mild, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cleaning pad. Abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes, and chemical cleaners should be avoided as they can damage the unit's coating.
Crumb Tray: The crumb tray should be emptied frequently after each use to prevent the accumulation of crumbs, which can pose a fire risk and affect oven performance.
No User Serviceable Parts: The appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond the recommended cleaning should be performed by an Authorized Service Representative.
Storage: Before storing, the appliance should be allowed to cool completely. If storing for long periods, ensure the oven is clean and free of food particles. It should be stored in a dry location, such as on a table, countertop, or cupboard shelf. No further user maintenance is necessary beyond recommended cleaning.
Initial Use: During the initial use, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal for many heating appliances and should not recur after a few uses. It is recommended to heat the countertop oven at 450°F for approximately 15 minutes during the first use to eliminate any manufacturing residue.
The Oster Extra Large Digital Air Fry Oven is a robust and versatile appliance designed to simplify various cooking tasks while emphasizing user safety and ease of maintenance.
