Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or labels.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clear space on all sides (back, sides, and top) to allow for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly under cabinets.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the baking pan, crumb tray, oven rack, and fry basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. First Use (Burn-Off): To eliminate any manufacturing odors, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes. Set the Function knob to 'Bake', Temperature to 450°F (230°C), and the Oven Timer to 15 minutes. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal and will dissipate. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.

Operating Instructions

Your AUMATE Countertop Convection Oven offers multiple cooking functions. Follow these general steps for operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place food on the appropriate accessory (baking pan, oven rack, or fry basket) and insert it into the desired rack level inside the oven.
2. Select Function: Turn the Function knob to select your desired cooking mode: Warm, Broil, Toast, Bake, or Air Fry.
3. Set Temperature: Turn the Temperature knob to the desired cooking temperature.
4. Set Time: Turn the On/Oven Timer knob to the desired cooking time. For continuous operation, turn the knob counter-clockwise past the 'OFF' position to the 'Stay On' setting. For toasting, use the On/Toast Timer knob.
5. Start Cooking: The Power light will illuminate, indicating the oven is operating.
6. Monitor Progress: The transparent glass door and interior light allow you to monitor cooking progress without opening the door.
7. Finish Cooking: When the timer reaches zero, the oven will automatically turn off and a bell will sound. If using 'Stay On', manually turn the On/Oven Timer knob to 'OFF'.
8. Remove Food: Carefully remove cooked food using oven mitts.

Specific Functions

• Toast: Use the 'Toast' function and the dedicated 'On/Toast Timer' knob for precise toasting. Adjust the timer based on desired browning.
• Bake: Ideal for cakes, cookies, and casseroles. Select 'Bake' and set the desired temperature and time. The convection fan ensures even heat distribution.
• Broil: Perfect for browning the top of dishes or cooking thin cuts of meat. Select 'Broil' and set the temperature. Keep a close watch as broiling is a fast cooking method.
• Air Fry: This function utilizes 360° hot air circulation to cook food with significantly less oil, achieving a crispy texture similar to deep frying. Use the fry basket for best results.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and longevity of your AUMATE oven.

• Always Unplug: Before cleaning, ensure the oven is unplugged from the power outlet and has completely cooled down.
• Crumb Tray: The crumb tray should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fire hazards. Slide out the crumb tray from the bottom of the oven and discard crumbs. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive pads, as they can damage the non-stick coating.
• Exterior: Clean the exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the stainless steel finish.
• Accessories: The baking pan, oven rack, and fry basket can be washed with warm, soapy water. For baked-on food, soak them in hot, soapy water before cleaning. They are not dishwasher safe.
• Glass Door: Clean the glass door with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
