4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any internal packing and protective films.
2. 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.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash all included accessories (racks, pans, basket) with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
