4. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

1. Carefully remove the oven and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Remove any packing materials, stickers, or labels from the oven and its accessories.
3. Inspect the oven for any damage. Do not operate if damaged.

Placement:

• Place the oven on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is adequate space (at least 10-15 cm) on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
• Keep the oven away from flammable materials such as curtains, drapes, and paper.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Before First Use:

1. Wash the baking rack, baking tray, and rotisserie kit in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth.
3. To eliminate any manufacturing oils or odors, operate the oven empty for approximately 15 minutes at 230°C on the 'Bake' function. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal and will dissipate. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process.

5. Operating Instructions

Control Panel Overview:

• Upper Temperature Control Knob: Adjusts the temperature for the upper heating elements (100°C - 230°C).

General Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place food on the baking tray or rack. For rotisserie, secure food onto the rotisserie spit.
