4. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven toaster grill and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any protective films or stickers.
2. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10-15 cm of clear space on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials or under cabinets.
3. Initial Cleaning: Wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the grill rack, baking tray, and crumb tray in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
4. First Use Burn-Off: Before cooking food, operate the oven empty for approximately 10-15 minutes at the maximum temperature setting (250°C) with the timer set. This will burn off any manufacturing oils and eliminate initial odors. Some smoke and odor are normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
