Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and flat surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the oven (at least 4 inches of clearance on all sides). Do not place it near flammable materials or heat sources.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the wire rack and crumb tray with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
- First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 10-15 minutes at maximum temperature (250°C) with the function set to both upper and lower heating. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 220V electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your electric oven:
- Prepare Food: Place your food item on the wire rack. Ensure proper cookware is used that is safe for oven use.
- Insert Rack: Slide the wire rack with food into the desired rack position inside the oven.
- Close Door: Close the oven door securely.
- Set Temperature: Turn the Temperature Control Knob to your desired cooking temperature (e.g., 100°C to 250°C).
- Select Function: Turn the Function Control Knob to select the desired heating mode (e.g., upper heating, lower heating, or both).
- Set Timer: Turn the Timer Control Knob to the desired cooking time (up to 60 minutes). The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the oven is heating. The oven will automatically turn off when the timer reaches zero, and a bell will sound. For continuous operation, turn the timer past the 60-minute mark to the "Stay On" position (if available).
- Monitor Cooking: You can observe the cooking progress through the glass door.
- Remove Food: Once cooking is complete and the timer has sounded, carefully open the oven door. Use oven mitts to remove the hot food and rack.
- Cool Down: Allow the oven to cool down completely before cleaning or storing.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your oven.
- Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the finish.
- Interior Cleaning: For the interior, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive oven cleaner designed for small appliances can be used, following the product's instructions. Ensure all cleaner residue is wiped away.
- Crumb Tray: The crumb tray should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fire hazards. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
- Wire Rack: The wire rack can be washed in warm, soapy water or placed in a dishwasher.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the main body of the oven, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
- Storage: When not in use, store the oven in a clean, dry place.
