4. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

• Remove all packaging materials, including any internal packing, accessories, and promotional labels.
• Inspect the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Placement:

Initial Cleaning:

• Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth.

• Do not immerse the main unit in water.

First Operation (Burn-in):

It is recommended to run the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes on its highest temperature setting before cooking food. This will burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Some smoke and odor may be present during this initial operation; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

1. Place the wire rack or baking tray into the desired position within the oven cavity.
2. Place food on the rack or tray.
3. Close the oven door securely.
4. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature (e.g., 150°C - 250°C).
5. Turn the function control knob to select the desired cooking mode (e.g., Bake, Grill).
6. Turn the timer knob to the desired cooking time. The oven will begin heating, and the power indicator light will illuminate.
7. When the cooking time is complete, the timer will chime, and the oven will turn off.
8. Carefully remove cooked food using the tray handle or insulated oven mitts.

The oven has a power rating of 1500 Watts.

Using the Hotplates:

1. Place appropriate cookware (flat-bottomed, heat-resistant) on the desired hotplate.

6. Allow hotplates to cool completely before cleaning.

Each hotplate has a power rating of 700 Watts.

Simultaneous Operation:

A key feature of the Swan SCO42G is its ability to operate both the oven and the hotplates at the same time. This allows for greater flexibility in meal preparation. Follow the individual instructions for oven and hotplate use, ensuring not to overload the electrical circuit.
