Setup
- Unpacking: Remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or stickers from your oven.
- Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance from walls, cabinets, and other combustible materials on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation.
- Initial Cleaning: Wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Wash the oven rack, baking pan, and crumb tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Crumb Tray Installation: Slide the crumb tray into the bottom of the oven.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
- First Use Burn-Off: Before cooking food, operate the oven empty on the "Bake" function at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

- Oven Rack and Baking Pan: Wash these accessories in warm, soapy water. For stubborn food residue, soak them before scrubbing. Rinse and dry completely.
