Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any protective films or stickers from the appliance and accessories.
- Initial Cleaning: Wipe down the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash all accessories (air fryer basket, baking tray, air rack, crumb tray, rotisserie accessories) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Placement: Place the oven on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- First Use (Burn-Off): Before cooking food, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at 400°F (200°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.

- Interior: Clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive sponge can be used.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your oven, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check your circuit breaker.
- Food is not cooking evenly: Ensure food is arranged in a single layer and not overcrowded. Use the recommended rack position for the selected function. Flip or rotate food halfway through cooking if necessary.
- Smoke coming from the oven: This may be due to grease buildup. Clean the crumb tray and interior thoroughly. Ensure fatty foods are placed on the baking tray to catch drips.
- Oven beeps and stops: The French doors may not be fully closed. Ensure both doors are securely latched.
- Digital display not working: Unplug the oven, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in to reset the system.
