3.3 Initial Cleaning and First Use

1. Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Wash the baking tray, grill rack, and rotisserie accessories in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
3. For the first use, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the maximum temperature (230°C) with the convection function enabled. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
4. Allow the oven to cool completely before its first cooking use.
