Before Using the Oven

Note
  • Because the oven temperature cycles, an oven thermometer placed in the oven cavity may not show the same temperature that is set on the oven.

  • Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.

  • When the oven is first switched on, it may give off an unpleasant smell. This is due to the bonding agent used for the insulating panels within the oven. This is completely normal, if it does occur, you merely have wait for the smell to clear before putting food into the oven.

Cleaning the cooking compartment and accessories

Before using the appliance to prepare food for the first time, you must clean the cooking compartment and accessories.

Clean the accessories by hand as is described in the Maintenance instructions.

  • Ventilate the kitchen while the appliance is heating up.

  • Make sure there are no remaining packing materials such as polystyrene pellets in the cooking chamber and remove any adhesive tape from inside or outside the appliance.

  • Wipe the smooth surface of the cooking chamber with a soft, damp cloth before heating the appliance.

  • To get rid of the smell of new products, heat them with the oven door closed when the cooking chamber is empty.

Oven Vent

Areas near the vent may become hot during operation and may cause burns. Avoid placing plastics near the vent as heat may distort or melt the plastic.

It is normal for steam to be visible when cooking foods with high moisture content.

After cooking is finished, if the temperature at the ventilating openings exceeds 70℃, the cooling fan will continue to operate. The fan will not stop until the temperature drops below 60℃.

Warning
  • Do not block the vent between the oven door and the controller.

Installing the heater cover

Place the cover on the oven burner heater.

Note
  • Before using the oven, be sure to place the cover provided as an accessory on the oven burner heater.

  • If the cover is not installed, foreign matter may block the flame duct, creating a risk of explosion or fire.
