First Time Use & Tips

1. Remove all packaging materials. 
2. Remove all stickers and labels from the appliance. Do not remove the rating label on the bottom of the appliance. 
3. Clean all parts to remove any dust or manufacturing residue. 
4. Thoroughly wash the accessories by hand with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Do NOT immerse the housing in water. 
5. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a moist cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners. 
6. Ensure accessories are inserted securely. 
7. Use the appliance on a horizontal, flat and stable heat-resistant surface, away from a heating source and where it will not come in contact with water. 
8. The appliance should be placed with good ventilation and away from walls or curtains. 
9. Ensure the drip tray is placed correctly to avoid oil and crumbs dropping on the lower heating element. 
10. Keep food 3cm from the upper heating element to get an even toasting effect.

NOTE: During first use, the oven may emit a slight odour and smoke. This is normal.

• Condensation on the glass door may appear occasionally while baking food, this is normal and will disappear after a while. 
• Constantly check your cooking to avoid burning or to continue cooking, if required. 
• Keep food 3cm from the upper heating element to get an even toasting effect. 
• Cook food immediately after defrosting. 
• Frozen food or lean meat requires a longer cooking time. 
• Put the food on baking pan after freezing. 
• Do not open the glass door frequently, this will avoid reduction in heat. 
• When toasting frozen or multiple slices of bread, set a warmer setting. 
• Remove extra fat from food to avoid smoke while baking. 
• The convection fan setting is not ideal for gentler baking. Breads, cakes, and flaky pastries don’t rise as well in the circulated air of a convection oven. 
• Using the oven convection fan setting creates a dry atmosphere that caramelizes sugars faster when roasting, so foods like meats and vegetables get browner, but the interiors stay moist. 
• To dehydrate food, the goal is to remove moisture as quickly as possible, so the convection setting is more efficient than using the elements.

• WARNING: Unplug the Benchtop Oven and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
• Use a mild detergent to clean all accessories. 
• Do not wash any accessories in a dishwasher. 
• Use a soft cloth to clean the inner cavity regularly. 
• Clean the oven door with a cloth soaked with warm detergent or soaking solution. 
• Do not immerse oven in water for cleaning. 
• Do not wipe oven with an abrasive cleaner. 
• Do not wipe heater. 
• Do not put any accessory directly on the lower element.
