1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance (at least 10-15 cm clearance on all sides). Do not place near flammable materials.

This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight smoke or odor is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
