CLEANING AND CARE
With proper care and cleaning, your appliance will retain its appearance and remain fully
functional for a long time. We will explain here how you should correctly care for and
clean your appliance.
• Do not use glass cleaners or metal/glass scrapers for cleaning.
• Before cleaning, unplug the oven and allow it to cool completely.
• Wash all the accessories, including the baking rack and the baking tray, with mild soap
and water.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, scrubbing brushes and chemical cleaners, as these will
cause damage to the non-stick coating of baking tray.
• Using a wet cloth to wipe the inside of the oven.
• Clean the door by using a soft cloth dampened with detergent or soap.
• Never immerse the oven in water or other liquid. Do not clean the appliance in a dishwasher.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
COOKING GUIDELINES
• Place the baking rack and baking tray in a position that will accommodate the height
of the food to be cooked.
• Food should be put onto a baking tray to avoid an accumulation
of food leftovers on the heating pipes, which could lead to a risk of fire.
• Make sure that you always use an ovenproof container in the oven. Never use
plastic or cardboard containers in the oven.
• Clean the heating pipes periodically.
• Never use glass or ceramic pans or lids.
• NEVER let oil or other liquids from the food to drip down to the bottom of the oven.
• Set the temperature as suggested by the recipe or as desired.
• Securely shut the door and set the cooking time to begin cooking.

TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ
FAQ
What do I do if the oven won't turn on?
•Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the
outlet.
•Insert the power cord into a different outlet.
•Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
•Press the power button.
Why is my food undercooked or overcooked?
•Do not add food to the oven until it has preheated to the correct temperature.
For best results, check progress throughout cooking and remove food if the desired
level of brownness has been achieved. Remove food immediately after
the cook time is complete to avoid overcooking.
•This oven cooks faster than a traditional oven. Always keep an eye on your
food while cooking.
Why do the heating elements appear to be turning on and o？
•This is normal. The oven is designed to control temperature precisely for
every function by adjusting the heating elements’ power levels.
Why is steam coming out from the oven door?
•This is normal. The door is vented to release steam created by foods with
a high moisture content.
Why is water dripping onto the counter from under the door?
•This is normal. The condensation created by foods with a high moisture
content (such as frozen breads) may run down the inside of the door and
drip onto the counter.
Why is there noise coming from the control panel or the back of the oven?
•When the oven is hot, a fan turns on to cool down the control panel.
Why does the oven sound like it is still running even though the power is o？
•The cooling fan may continue to run even after the oven has been turned off.
This is a normal function and should not be a source of concern.
