I need the manual to counter top oven model #31197

Hamilton Beach 31197 Manual

Hamilton Beach 31197 User Manual

There is no fuse. This is not an easy repair. I replaced mine which had an open winding. HB tried to make this unit so it could NOT be repaired, but of course it can be if you want to spend the time. The motor is part of a metal duct assy which also holds the rotisserie motor. It is RIVETED to the interior wall of the oven. The fan motor is a DUAL shaft C-Frame shaded pole 120 VAC ~ 3000 RPM ~ .5 amp motor which is not very common. The thermo on all these units is also inaccurate as the "sensor" is simply a metal plate screwed to the top right area of the oven interior. When I replaced my fan I also put in a new REAL oven thermo with a 12" sensing bulb which I mounted inside the oven as it should be. It took some searching to find these two parts. I have all the instructions and can post images if you want to tackle this. I did because the oven is large and the replacement model (31100 for $69 at Wal-Mart) has 1.5" less height and it uses the SAME parts with the same design flaw for the thermo. The retail cost on the parts for this job are ~$160, but I got mine for $15 total. I paid $48 for this oven years ago at Sams.

People keep asking for this even though there are others (now mostly dead links) so I have posted it (3 language edition) here:

The Use and Care Manual for the Hamilton Beach 31197 Countertop Oven with Convection can be found online here:

Any cookware you have that you are able to use in your regular oven can be used in the Countertop Oven providing it fits. You may need to purchase some smallersized ovenware from a kitchenware store.

Look for these pan sizes:

6 - cup muffin pan
2 - 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pans
9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pans
2 - 8-inch (20 cm) round or square baking pans
Most 1 to 11⁄2 quart (1 to 11⁄2 L) casserole dishes

Trust this is helpful; thank you for using FixYa!

HB tried to make this unit so it could NOT be repaired, but of course it can be if you want to spend the time. The thermo on all these units is inaccurate anyway as the "sensor" is simply a metal plate screwed to the top right area of the oven interior.

You might not want to use it again after your first experience. Make sure you get your food balanced as the motor on this thing is very weak. I cooked 2 chickens and a loin roast when I first got it and they were no better than pan roasted and a lot more trouble.

Good luck!

I trashed the toaster oven. Apparently even if you know how to fix something you can't get the parts. If you need to take apart an appliance to fix it, you can rest assured you cannot get a replacement part. This is our throw away society.

try here. if the link does not work let me know.
