4. Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging materials for future transport if needed.
- Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the oven (at least 10 cm clearance on all sides). Do not place it near flammable materials or under cabinets.
- Power Connection: Ensure the power supply matches the voltage specified on the appliance (220-240V, 50/60Hz). Plug the oven into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth. Run the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at maximum temperature (230°C) with the convection function to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; ensure the area is well-ventilated.
