Broil Function (Convection)

Use for browning, melting cheese, or cooking thin cuts of meat. Place food on the oven rack or baking pan in Position 3, close to the top heating elements. Monitor food closely to prevent burning.

Warm Function

Keeps cooked food warm without further cooking. Use the oven rack or baking pan in any position.

Rotisserie Function

The oven supports rotisserie cooking for whole chickens or roasts. Refer to the specific rotisserie accessory instructions for assembly and use. Ensure food does not exceed the recommended weight limit (typically around 2.7 lbs for a whole chicken) and is securely fastened to the spit to prevent imbalance during rotation.

3. Interior: Wipe the interior walls, bottom, and glass door with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive liquid cleaner or spray may be used. Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive cleaners.
4. Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes that may scratch the stainless steel finish.
5. Accessories: The oven rack, air fryer basket, and baking/drip pan can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Some users report these accessories are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to prolong their lifespan and finish.
