• 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.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

• Ensure the power outlet is easily accessible. The oven operates on 230 Volts.

3.3 Before First Use

2. Wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth.
3. Insert the crumb tray at the bottom of the oven.
4. Plug the oven into a grounded 230V electrical outlet.
5. To eliminate any manufacturing odors, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature (230°C) with the convection function on. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

4.2 Convection Function

The convection function circulates hot air inside the oven, ensuring more even cooking and faster results. To use:
