Unpacking:

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or stickers from your appliance.
2. Ensure all parts and accessories listed in the "Parts and Accessories" section are present.
3. Wipe down the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Clean all accessories with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

Placement:

Before First Use:

It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 15 minutes on a high temperature setting (e.g., Air Fry at 400°F) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial use; this is normal and will dissipate.

Using the Integrated Probe Thermometer:

The integrated probe thermometer ensures your food reaches the perfect internal temperature. Simply insert the probe into the thickest part of your food, avoiding bones. Plug the probe into the designated port on the oven. The display will show the live internal temperature, and you can set a target temperature. The oven will automatically adjust cooking or alert you when the target is reached.
