Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the toaster oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or shipping if needed.
2. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) on all sides and above the unit for proper ventilation. Do not place near flammable materials.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Wash the wire rack, baking pan, and pan handle in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.
4. First Use Burn-Off: It is normal for a small amount of smoke and odor to be emitted during the first use as manufacturing oils burn off. To minimize this, operate the oven empty at its highest temperature setting for approximately 15 minutes. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet voltage matches the appliance's requirements.
