CLEANING & STORAGE
Warning: Unplug the unit before cleaning and let it cool to prevent bodily harm.
CLEANING THE OUTER BODY AND DOOR
- Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge or cleaning cloth. Use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner or mild cleaner solution spray to remove build-up or food stains. Do not spray directly on the stove; first spray onto a sponge or a cloth for best results. We recommend using an Apple Cider Vinegar cleaning solution of 50% part water and 50% Apple Cider Vinegar for all internal and external cleaning.
- To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or metal scouring pad, as these will scratch the oven’s surface.
- Wipe the LCD screen with a soft, damp cloth. Do not apply the cleaner directly onto the LCD screen; instead, apply it to a cloth. Cleaning the LCD screen surface with a dry cloth and/or abrasive cleaners may produce scratches.
WARNING: To prevent electrocution, do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
- To clean any mess that may have occurred while cooking, wipe the walls with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleaner or mild spray solution may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleaner to the sponge, not the interior, before cleaning.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when cleaning the heating elements. Unplug the power cord from the wall and allow the oven to cool completely. Use a soft, damp sponge or cloth to gently rub the heating elements. Do not use any type of cleaner or cleaning agent. Let all the surfaces dry prior to plugging the oven back in.
CLEANING THE OVEN RACK, DEHYDRATE RACK, BAKING PAN, AND AIR FRY BASKET
- Wash all accessories in warm soapy water with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or metal utensils to clean any of the accessories, as damage to the surface may occur.
- To extend the life of your accessories, we do not recommend cleaning them in the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE CRUMB TRAY
- After each use, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe the tray with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleaner or mild spray solution may be used to avoid the build-up of stains. Apply the cleaner to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Dry thoroughly. Use caution, as the crumb tray may be hot. Let it cool before handling as needed.
- To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in warm soapy water, then wash with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Always ensure to re-insert the Crumb Tray into the oven after cleaning and before inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven on.
STORAGE
- Ensure the oven and all trays are clean and dry.
- Ensure the door is closed.
- Store the appliance in an upright position, standing level, and on its supporting legs. Do not store the appliance when wet or hot. Do not store in a wet or hot environment.

- The oven does not work: The appliance is not plugged in. Make sure the oven is plugged in. The door is not closed properly. Make sure the door is closed well.
- Steam is coming out from the top of the oven door: You are cooking high-moisture-content foods. This is normal. The door is vented to release steam created from high-moisture content foods such as frozen breads.
- White smoke is coming out of the oven: This is normal for the first use. We strongly recommend setting the oven to the highest temperature and letting it run empty for 20 minutes. This is normal for cooking greasy foods, and it will not affect the cooking process. The Baking Tray, Crumb Tray, or the oven still contains grease or oil residue from previous cooking. Make sure each part is properly cleaned after each use. Please follow the cleaning instructions on pages 13-14.
- Food is not fully cooked: There is too much food in the oven. Reduce the amount of food in the oven. The set temperature is too low or the time is too short. Adjust the temperature or time. Please make sure to use the correct function for the type of food that is being cooked.
- Dark smoke is coming out of the oven: Food is burning. Press the Stop button, then use mitts to grab the tray and remove the food.
- Food is not evenly cooked: Please make sure the food is spread out evenly and not stacked or close to each other.
- Food is not crispy after air frying: The ingredients are too moist. Evenly spraying a small amount of oil on food can increase crispiness.
- The display shows Error Code “E1”: There is a short circuit. Unplug the power cord from the outlet and contact our customer service.
- The display shows Error Code “E2”: The temperature monitor or heaters are inoperative. Unplug the unit and plug it back in after 5 seconds. The oven should resolve this issue, but if you are still experiencing problems, please contact customer service.
If you have any questions about the unit or its operation, please call or email customer service.
