3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking and Placement
- Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any internal packing or protective films.
- Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface.
- Ensure there is at least 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) of clear space on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place the oven directly against a wall or under cabinets.
- Do not place the oven near flammable materials or heat sources.
3.2 Before First Use
- Wash the oven rack, crumb tray, and rotisserie spit in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth.
- To eliminate any manufacturing odors, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the highest temperature setting (e.g., 230°C) using the convection function. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process. A slight odor or smoke is normal during this initial burn-off.
- Allow the oven to cool completely before its first use with food.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation
- Plug In: Connect the oven to a suitable power outlet.
- Place Food: Place food on the oven rack or in a suitable baking dish, then insert it into the oven. Ensure the crumb tray is in place at the bottom.
- Set Temperature: Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the desired cooking temperature.
- Select Function: Turn the Function Selector Knob to choose the appropriate cooking mode (e.g., top heat, bottom heat, top and bottom heat with convection, rotisserie).
- Set Timer: Turn the Timer Knob to the desired cooking time. The oven will begin heating. A bell will sound when the timer expires, and the oven will turn off automatically. For continuous operation, select the 'stay on' position if available.
4.2 Using the Rotisserie Function
- Skewer the food (e.g., whole chicken) onto the rotisserie spit, securing it with the forks.
- Insert the rotisserie spit into the designated slots inside the oven.
- Select the rotisserie function using the Function Selector Knob.
- Set the temperature and timer as required for your recipe.
4.3 Preheating
For best results, preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing food inside. Set the temperature and function, then allow the oven to heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the indicator light (if present) turns off, signaling the temperature has been reached.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your oven.
- Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the finish.
- Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive oven cleaner designed for convection ovens can be used, following the product instructions carefully. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed.
- Accessories: The oven rack, crumb tray, and rotisserie spit can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Glass Door: Clean the glass door with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the oven body, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
