Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place the oven directly against a wall or under cabinets.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V AC electrical outlet.
4. First Use: Before first use, wipe down the interior and accessories with a damp cloth. It is recommended to run the oven empty at 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial operation; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
