Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

• Read all instructions before use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the main unit in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
• Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or any materials that are not oven safe.
• Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any protective films or inserts from inside the oven.
2. Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. The air fry basket, baking pan, and oven rack are typically dishwasher safe, but refer to the care instructions for specific details.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate clearance (at least 6 inches) on all sides and above for proper ventilation. Do not place near flammable materials.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
5. Initial Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for approximately 10-15 minutes at 400°F (204°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

4. Sync Cooking: If using QuickSync, the oven will automatically adjust the start times of each zone to ensure they finish simultaneously.
5. Start: Press the START button to begin cooking in both zones.

For larger items, the divider between zones can often be removed to create a single, extra-large cooking space.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your appliance.

1. Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
2. Crumb Tray: The removable crumb tray at the bottom should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent grease buildup and potential fire hazards. Wash with warm, soapy water.
3. Accessories: The air fry basket, baking pan, oven rack, and grill plate can be washed in warm, soapy water or placed in the dishwasher (check manufacturer's guidelines for specific accessories). For stubborn food residue, soak in hot water before cleaning.
4. Interior: Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For baked-on food, a non-abrasive cleaner designed for oven interiors can be used. Avoid abrasive sponges or metal scouring pads.
5. Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes that could scratch the stainless steel finish.
6. Door: Clean the glass doors with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.

Do not immerse the main unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
