Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the oven. Ensure all components listed in the "Included Components" section are present.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place the oven directly against a wall or under cabinets that may be damaged by heat.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage rating of the oven matches your household's power supply.
4. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (air fry basket, baking pan, racks, drip tray) with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
5. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. Some smoke or odor may be present during this initial use; this is normal and will dissipate. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
