Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any protective films or stickers.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the oven (at least 10-15 cm clearance on all sides and top) to prevent overheating. Do not place it near flammable materials.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.

   • Set the function to top and bottom heating.
   • Set the timer for approximately 15 minutes.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your oven.

1. Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Interior Cleaning:
   • Remove the wire rack, baking tray, and rotisserie spit. Wash them in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher if they are dishwasher-safe. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   • Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive oven cleaner designed for mini ovens can be used, following the product instructions carefully.
   • Clean the glass door with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
   • Ensure all interior surfaces are dry before using the oven again.
4. Crumb Tray: Regularly remove and clean the crumb tray located at the bottom of the oven. This prevents grease and food particles from accumulating and potentially causing a fire.
