Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the oven.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides and above the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (food tray, air fryer basket, wire rack, crumb tray) with warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
4. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 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 adequate ventilation.
