Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster oven and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or labels.
2. Initial Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the food tray, wire rack, rotisserie spit, and handle in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
3. 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.
4. First Use Burn-Off: Before cooking food, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature (230°C) with the selector on 'Upper & Lower Heating'. This will burn off any manufacturing oils and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
