A:AnswerThe Breville® BOV860 Smart Oven® Air Fryer does not shut off completely though it will go into a stand by mode. To completely remove all power, the oven will need to be unplugged.
A:AnswerAll Breville® products, including the BOV860 Smart Oven® Air Fryer, are designed and engineered in Australia, manufactured in various locations and assembled in China.
A:AnswerWhile not Teflon, which is a brand name, we do use a non-stick coating on the oven walls. Our coating does have PTFE, but is not made with PFOA.
A:Answerit is not recommended that the racks and crumb tray of the Breville® BOV860 Smart Oven® Air Fryer be washed in the dishwasher as the detergents can drastically reduce the life span of them.
A:AnswerThe toasting time will depend on the bread used. Bread with higher sugar contents will toast quickest. Of course, because of the cavity size, a toaster oven will toast slower than a regular toaster.
A:AnswerThe Breville® BOV860 Smart Oven® Air Fryer will go back to preheat after the door has been opened to compensate for the heat loss and quickly get the oven back to the proper cooking temperature without compromising the time required.
A:AnswerYou are correct that the top, left side, back and front can get quite hot. Surprisingly, the right side is unaffected by the heat due to the insulating aspect of the electronics compartment. This is judged by making my morning toast made only a few minutes ago, Longer heating times would naturally yield even more heat, i would suspect. We purchased the Breville cutting board designed for our BOV860 oven to set on top, partially for its heat deflecting capabilities and even more so as a scratch deterrent from storing the accessories on top for easy access. The secret to the cutting board is the heat proof feet which slightly elevates the board from on top of the oven and seem impervious to its heat. We are very happy with this unit and chose it based on family word of mouth with the brand and with the practicality of the slightly smaller size of this model compared to the largest model. Seemed like the best fit for our family. Good luck with your choice.
A:AnswerHello. You can cook almost anything in the Smart Oven Air Fryer that you would cook in a regular oven. However, for TV dinners, please refer to the instructions on the packaging. Most will tell you if you can put the TV dinner in a toaster oven or not. I hope that provides you with some guidance.
A:AnswerNo. For best results, it is not recommended that the AIR FRY function be used with all of the rack positions of the Breville® BOV860 Smart Oven® Air Fryer.
A:Answer1) Yes you can bake potatoes
2) as far as TV dinners are concerned, if the instructions on the package say that the package can be placed in an oven then the Breville smart oven will do the trick.
3)Yes you can cook French fries and tater tots and you have the option to air fry if you prefer.
