When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the oven.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
• Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or anything that could easily burn or melt.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 10-15 cm) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials like curtains or walls.

4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth. Run the oven empty for about 10-15 minutes at maximum temperature (230°C) with the function selector set to "Top & Bottom" to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; ensure the area is well-ventilated.
