2. Set the temperature control to 250°C.
3. Set the function control to "Bake" (top and bottom heating elements).
4. Set the timer to 15-20 minutes.
5. Allow the oven to run until the timer expires. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal.
6. Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely.
