2. Setup

2.1 Unboxing and Placement

• Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the oven.
• Place the oven on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) from walls and other appliances for proper ventilation.

2.3 First Use (Burn-in)
