Convection Function

Caution:

• Positioning rails may be interrupted; handle the tray and grill carefully.
• Use aluminum foil on the waste tray for dishes with splattering oil/fat (e.g., roast chicken).
• Always use oven mitts or gloves when handling hot trays.
• Do not wet hot oven glass with water, as it may crack.
• Do not operate near gas burners, other heat sources, or electric fans.
• Do not place bottles or cans directly in the oven.
• Ensure the oven is not too close to walls, curtains, or placed directly on its support surface to prevent fire hazards.
• Do not place items on the oven while it is operating.

Operation

Before First Use

Remove and wash the grill, tray, and waste tray. Heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for 10 minutes. Some smoke or smell may occur during the first few minutes of operation.

Using the Oven

Temperature Selector

Turn the selector to choose the desired temperature, from 90°C to 230°C, considering the type of food.

Cooking Selector

Select the appropriate cooking position using the selector, which controls the heating elements. Turning to the first position turns the unit OFF.

• Upper resistance
• Lower resistance
• Upper and lower resistance
• Upper resistance + convection function
• Upper and lower resistance + convection function

Timer

Turn the timer selector to the desired time (up to 60 minutes). The indicator light will illuminate. The oven will signal and turn off automatically when the time is up.

Note: You can adjust any selector during cooking. To turn off manually, turn the timer selector to OFF.

All three selectors must be adjusted for proper operation. If only time is set without a cooking position, the oven will not work.

Interior Light

The interior light helps monitor cooking and turns on/off with the timer.

Positioning Rails

Adjust the tray and grill to three different height positions using the rails.

Waste Tray

Always use the waste tray to keep the oven clean. A dirty oven may increase cooking time. Be careful when removing hot liquids to avoid burns.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Unplug and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
• Let the oven cool with the door ajar.
• When cool, remove the grill, tray, and waste tray.
• Clean the interior with a soft, damp cloth, then a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive brushes.
• Wash the grill, tray, and waste tray by hand in hot water with mild detergent and a soft sponge. Dry thoroughly.
