Setup and Installation

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 stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) of clear space on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials like curtains or walls.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the baking tray, wire rack, and any other accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes on the highest temperature setting (250°C) with the Function knob set to 'Both Heating Elements' and the Mode knob set to 'Bake'. This will help burn off any manufacturing oils and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
