4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any internal packing and protective films.
- Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clear space on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials or under cabinets.
