Setup and Installation

Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the toaster oven and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Remove any protective film, stickers, or packing materials from the appliance and its accessories.
3. Inspect the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.

Placement

• Place the toaster oven on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) on all sides and above the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place directly under cabinets.
• Keep the appliance away from walls, curtains, and other flammable materials.

Initial Cleaning

1. Before first use, wipe the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth.
2. Wash the air-fry basket, bake pan, broil rack, and crumb tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

First Use (Burn-Off)

It is recommended to run the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes on the 'Bake' setting at 400°F (200°C) before first use. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; this is normal and will dissipate.
