Get started

Initial set up
"We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly." — Anna Thomas

1. Pull that Omni Pro out of the box!
2. Remove all the packaging material from in and around the oven.
   Don't remove the safety warning stickers or the rating label from the oven.
3. You may be tempted to put the Omni Pro on your stovetop for quick use — but don't do it! Place it on a stable, level surface, away from combustible material and external heat sources.
   Make sure to leave at least 13 cm /5" of space above and around all sides of the appliance. Never place anything on top of the oven.
4. Remove the crumb tray and check the cooking chamber for loose debris.
5. Follow the Care, cleaning and storage instructions to wash your new toaster oven before using it.
