When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions before operating the appliance.

- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to 'off', then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

Before First Use (Setup)
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance and its accessories.

- First Run (Burn-off): It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 10-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial use; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Cooking Guide and Tips
- Preheating: For best results, preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes before adding food, especially for air frying and baking.
- Oil Usage: While air frying requires little to no oil, a light spray of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for some foods.
- Shaking/Flipping: For even cooking, shake the mesh basket or flip food items halfway through the cooking process.
- Crowding: Avoid overcrowding the oven. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Internal Temperature: Always ensure food reaches a safe internal temperature before consumption.
- Drip Tray: Always place the drip tray at the bottom of the oven to catch crumbs and drips.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your appliance.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Clean Accessories: Wash all removable accessories (mesh basket, wire rack, drip tray, rotisserie fork, etc.) in warm, soapy water. For stubborn food residue, soak them before washing. These accessories may also be dishwasher safe (check individual accessory guidelines if provided).
- Clean Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the non-stick coating. For baked-on food, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied, left for a few minutes, then wiped clean.
- Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
