Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster oven and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or protective films.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash the baking rack, baking pan, and air fryer basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. 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 near flammable materials.
4. First Use (Burn-Off): It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 15 minutes on the "Bake" setting at 400°F (200°C) before cooking food. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial operation; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

• Toast: For toasting bread, bagels, and waffles. Adjust the timer for desired toast shade. Use the baking rack.
• Warm: Keeps cooked food warm without further cooking. Use the baking rack or baking pan.

Note: Cooking times may vary based on food type, quantity, and desired doneness. It is recommended to monitor food closely, especially during initial uses, and adjust cooking times and temperatures as needed.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your toaster oven.

1. Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely.
