Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean all accessories and the interior of the appliance. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing them back into the oven.

It is normal for the appliance to emit a slight odor and some smoke during its first few uses. This is due to the burning off of manufacturing residues and will dissipate quickly. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
