Setup

Before first use, follow these steps to prepare your OTG:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the OTG and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement: Place the OTG on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance (at least 10-15 cm clearance on all sides). Do not place it near flammable materials.
3. Initial Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the baking tray, wire rack, rotisserie set, and crumb tray with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
4. First Use Burn-in: Before cooking food, operate the empty OTG for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature (230°C) with both top and bottom heating elements selected. This helps burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
5. Power Connection: Ensure the power supply matches the voltage specified on the appliance rating label. Plug the OTG into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your Havells OTG:

1. Prepare Food: Place your food on the baking tray or wire rack. For rotisserie cooking, secure the food onto the rotisserie rod.
2. Insert Accessories: Carefully slide the baking tray, wire rack, or rotisserie set into the desired rack position inside the oven.
3. Close Door: Ensure the double glass door is securely closed.
4. Set Temperature: Turn the Temperature Setting knob to your desired cooking temperature (90-230°C).
5. Select Heating Elements: Turn the 6 Element Selection knob to choose the appropriate heating mode (e.g., top heat for grilling, bottom heat for baking, or both for roasting).
6. Set Timer: Turn the 60 Minutes Timer knob to the desired cooking time. The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the OTG is operating. For continuous cooking, turn the timer past the 'OFF' position to the 'STAY ON' setting (if available).
7. Monitor Cooking: Observe the cooking process through the glass door. The OTG will automatically switch off once the set time has elapsed, and a bell will ring.
8. Remove Food: Using oven mitts and the provided tray handle or rotisserie lifter, carefully remove the cooked food from the OTG.
9. Cool Down: Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning or storing.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OTG.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the OTG from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove Accessories: Take out the baking tray, wire rack, rotisserie set, and crumb tray. Wash them in warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Interior Cleaning: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the non-stick coating.
4. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
5. Glass Door: Clean the glass door with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
6. Crumb Tray: Empty and clean the crumb tray regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fire hazards.
7. Storage: Ensure the OTG is clean and dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Havells OTG, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• OTG does not turn on:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Ensure the timer knob is set to a cooking time or to the 'STAY ON' position.
  • Check your household fuse or circuit breaker.
• Food is not cooking evenly:
  • Ensure the correct heating elements (top, bottom, or both) are selected for your recipe.
