Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro:

• Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Oven Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your household circuit breaker.
• Uneven Cooking: Ensure food is placed on the correct rack position as indicated on the oven door for the selected function. Rotate food halfway through cooking for best results, especially for larger items.
• Excessive Smoke: This can occur if food residues accumulate on heating elements or the interior. Clean the oven and accessories regularly. Ensure the crumb tray is empty.
