Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven toaster grill and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or service if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash all accessories (skewers, rotisserie, grill rack, bake tray, crumb tray, tongs) with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the oven (at least 10-15 cm clearance on all sides and top) to prevent overheating. Do not place near flammable materials like curtains.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the power supply matches the voltage specified on the appliance's rating label. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. First Use Burn-in: Before cooking food, operate the empty oven for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature setting (250°C) with the function selector set to "Bake" (top and bottom heating). This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
