3. Setup and Installation

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or protective films from the appliance.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 10-15 cm or 4-6 inches) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials or under cabinets.

4. First Use Preparation: Before first use, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth. Run the oven empty on the "Bake" setting at 230°C (450°F) for approximately 15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
