Usage Instructions

Position the oven on a dry, level surface, ensuring that the ventilation slots on the side and top of the appliance are not obstructed. It is recommended to place the rear surface of the oven against a wall. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt power outlet and turn the power on.

Note: When turned on for the first time, your Convection Bake & Grill may give off vapours for up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the performance of the oven and will not re occur.

Do not force open the oven door beyond its limit or let the door drop open as this will distort the door and hinder the oven's ability to maintain a proper seal.
