Setup
- **Unpacking**: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the box.
- **Initial Cleaning**: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the bake tray, wire rack, tray handle, and crumb tray with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- **Placement**: Place the oven on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate space (at least 10-15 cm) around the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials.
- **Crumb Tray Installation**: Slide the crumb tray into the bottom slot of the oven. This collects crumbs and drips for easier cleaning.
- **Power Connection**: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements.
- **First Use Burn-Off**: It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 10-15 minutes at maximum temperature (e.g., 230°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke is normal during this process. Ensure good ventilation.
