- Retain packaging for future storage or transport if necessary.
Placement
- Place the oven on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface.

- Keep the oven away from flammable materials, curtains, and other heat-sensitive objects.
- Ensure the power cord is not pinched or in contact with hot surfaces.
Initial Cleaning
- Before first use, wipe the interior of the oven and all accessories (baking tray, wire rack, rotisserie spit) with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Dry thoroughly.
- It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 15 minutes at maximum temperature (230°C) with the 'Top & Bottom Heating' function selected to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial operation; ensure the area is well-ventilated.
4. Operating Instructions
General Operation
- Plug the oven into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.
- Place the food to be cooked on the baking tray or wire rack. Insert the tray/rack into the desired slot inside the oven.
- Close the oven door securely.

- Select the appropriate heating mode using the Heating Function Knob (e.g., Top Heating for grilling, Bottom Heating for baking bases, Top & Bottom Heating for general cooking).
- Set the Timer Knob to the desired cooking time. The oven will begin heating. If continuous operation is desired, set the timer to 'OFF'.
- When the cooking time expires, the oven will automatically turn off and an audible alarm will sound. If operating continuously, manually turn the timer to 'OFF' to stop heating.
- Carefully remove the cooked food using oven mitts and the provided tray/rotisserie handle.
Using the Rotisserie Function
- Prepare the food (e.g., chicken) and secure it onto the rotisserie spit using the forks. Ensure the food is balanced to prevent uneven rotation.

5. Maintenance
Cleaning
- Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Interior: Wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. For stubborn stains, a specialized oven cleaner suitable for electric ovens can be used, following the product's instructions. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed.
- Exterior: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel finish.
- Accessories: The baking tray, wire rack, rotisserie spit, and crumb tray can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or reusing.
- Do not immerse the oven unit, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
Storage
Ensure the oven is clean and dry before storing. Store the oven in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
