Surfaces marked with "high temperature surface" will become hot during use. The exterior surface temperature may remain hot for a short period after operation. Do not touch or move the oven immediately after use.

Product Placement Precautions:

• Place the oven on an insulated surface with at least 10-15 cm of clearance around it.
• Use the oven in a dry environment and do not operate it outdoors.
• To prevent soot marks on furniture or fire hazards from heat, keep the product away from walls and cabinets.

First-Time Use Instructions:

Preheating the Oven: Preheat the oven for 15 minutes before the first use to remove any anti-corrosive coating from the heating elements and interior cavity.

1. Wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth while it is unplugged (do not wipe the heating elements).
2. Place the baking tray and wire rack inside the oven and plug it in.
3. Use the upper and lower heating element function, set the temperature to the maximum, and preheat for 15 minutes.

Note: It is normal for a slight odor or smoke to appear during the initial preheating.

After Preheating: Unplug the oven and open the door fully to allow it to cool down. Once cooled, remove the baking tray and wire rack for normal use.
