4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the toaster oven and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or labels.
2. Clean: Wash all removable parts (racks, baking pan, rotisserie accessories, crumb tray) in warm, soapy water. Wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the toaster oven on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit (at least 4 inches of space on all sides and above). Do not place it directly under cabinets or near flammable materials.
4. First Use (Burn-Off): Before first use, plug in the oven and turn the temperature knob to 450°F (230°C) and the function knob to 'Bake'. Set the timer for 15 minutes. This helps burn off any manufacturing oils and odors. A slight odor or smoke is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
