4. Setup

Before first use, follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and any plastic bands from the appliance.
2. Clean: Wash the oven rack, bake pan, and air fry mesh tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the interior and exterior of the oven with a damp cloth and dry completely.
3. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space on all sides and above the oven for proper ventilation. Do not place directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. Initial Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 10-15 minutes on the highest temperature setting (450°F) in the Bake mode to burn off any manufacturing oils. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

• Even Cooking: For larger quantities or thicker items, consider rotating or flipping food halfway through cooking.
• Air Frying Oil: A light spray of oil can enhance crispiness for air-fried foods, but is often not necessary.
• Capacity: The oven fits four slices of bread or a 9-inch pizza. Avoid overcrowding the oven for optimal cooking performance.
