4. Setup

Before first use, ensure the oven is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance from walls and other appliances for proper ventilation.

For the first use, it is recommended to operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at the highest temperature setting (250°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this initial operation; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your oven. Always unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Interior: Wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner designed for oven interiors can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.
• Exterior: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
• Removable Tray, Bake Pan, and Broil Rack: These accessories are removable for easy cleaning. Wash them in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before returning them to the oven.
• Glass Door: Clean the glass door with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SOUQDWL oven, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Oven does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the timer knob has been set. The oven will not operate if the timer is at 'OFF' or '0'.
  • Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Food is not cooking evenly:
  • Ensure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature.
  • Check that the correct function (e.g., convection bake) is selected for even heat distribution.
  • Avoid overcrowding the oven, which can restrict airflow.
  • Rotate food halfway through cooking if necessary.
• Excessive smoke during operation:
  • This may occur during the first use as manufacturing residues burn off. Ensure good ventilation.
  • Check for food spills or grease buildup inside the oven or on heating elements. Clean the oven thoroughly.
• Timer bell is not loud enough:
