Operating Instructions

Controls Overview

This image details the three control dials on the oven: the top dial for temperature (90-230°C), the middle dial for heating function (off, upper, lower, or both elements), and the bottom dial for the 60-minute timer.

Temperature Dial

The top dial adjusts the cooking temperature from 90°C to 230°C. Rotate clockwise to increase temperature.

Function Dial

The middle dial selects the heating elements. Options include: lower element only, upper element only, or both upper and lower elements for versatile cooking methods like grilling, baking, or roasting.

Timer Dial

The bottom dial sets the cooking time up to 60 minutes. The oven will automatically switch off when the timer reaches zero. A bell will sound to indicate completion.

First Use

Before cooking food, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature setting (230°C) with both heating elements active. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

Cooking Guidelines

Always preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing food inside for optimal cooking results. Use the included baking tray and grill rack as appropriate for your recipe. For best results, refer to specific recipe instructions for cooking times and temperatures.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. The interior and exterior surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as they may damage the finish. The baking tray and grill rack can be washed with warm soapy water.

Storage

When not in use, ensure the oven is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Oven not heating: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the temperature and timer dials are set correctly.
• Food not cooking evenly: Ensure the oven is preheated. Rotate food halfway through cooking. Check that the correct heating elements are selected for the cooking method.
• Smoke or odor during first use: This is normal for the initial burn-off. Ensure good ventilation. If it persists after initial use, contact customer support.
• Timer not working: Ensure the timer dial is wound past the 10-minute mark before setting the desired time.
