5.1 Unpacking and Placement

Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash all accessories (wire rack, baking tray, rotisserie spit) in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

5.3 First Use (Burn-Off)

It is recommended to perform a 'burn-off' cycle before cooking food. This helps to eliminate any manufacturing odors or residues.

1. Plug the oven into a suitable European standard electrical outlet.
2. Set the temperature control to maximum (e.g., 230°C).
3. Set the function selector to convection mode.
4. Set the timer to 15-20 minutes.
5. Operate the oven in a well-ventilated area. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal.
6. Once the cycle is complete, allow the oven to cool down completely before opening the door.

7. To stop cooking before the timer finishes, turn the timer knob to the 'OFF' position.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your oven and ensure hygienic operation.

• Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
