Setup and First Use

Unpacking

Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Ensure all packing materials, including any protective films or tapes, are removed before use. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.

Placement

• Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the oven. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (4 inches) from walls and other appliances on all sides.
• Do not place the oven near flammable materials such as curtains or tablecloths.
• Ensure the power cord is not pinched or touching hot surfaces.

Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the baking tray, wire rack, and rotisserie accessories in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before placing them back into the oven.

First Use (Burn-off)

It is normal for a new oven to produce some smoke and odor during its first use. This is due to the burning off of protective oils used in the manufacturing process. To minimize this, operate the oven empty for approximately 15-20 minutes at its maximum temperature (230°C) with the convection function. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Oven

Regular cleaning will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your oven. Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Interior: The oven features a fully enameled interior for easy cleaning. For stubborn stains, place two glasses of water inside the oven and operate it for 30 minutes at a medium temperature. The steam will loosen food residues. Once cooled, wipe the interior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as they can damage the enamel.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the oven in water.
• Accessories: Wash the baking tray, wire rack, and rotisserie spit in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or reusing.
• Door: The oven features double glazing. Clean the glass with a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
