Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.

3. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the oven (at least 10 cm clearance on all sides and above). Do not place near flammable materials or under wall cabinets.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the voltage rating on the appliance matches your local power supply. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
5. First Use Burn-off: It is recommended to operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at maximum temperature (230°C) with the convection function on. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your oven.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
