Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the baking tray, wire rack, and rotisserie spit with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance (at least 10 cm clearance on all sides). Do not place it near flammable materials.
4. First Use Burn-Off: Before cooking food, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at maximum temperature (230°C) with the oven door slightly ajar. This will 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: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ICQN mini oven. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Interior Cleaning: The enameled interior makes cleaning easier. Wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner designed for ovens can be used. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
• Accessories: Wash the baking tray, wire rack, and rotisserie spit in warm, soapy water. They are not dishwasher safe. Dry thoroughly before storing.
• Hotplates: Wipe the hotplates with a damp cloth after they have cooled. Do not use water directly on the hotplates when they are hot.
