Wire rack

Use the wire rack for grilling and roasting. When you insert the wire rack into the oven, keep the protruding parts (stoppers on both sides) toward the front.

Wire rack insert

The wire rack insert is combined with the tray to prevent liquid dropping onto the bottom of the oven. Put the wire rack insert on the tray and then insert it into the oven.

Once the telescopic rail is installed, it is effortlessly easy to get things in and out of the oven because of its smooth movement. Use the telescopic rail plate to insert the tray as follows.

Step 1. Pull out the rail plate from the oven.

Step 2. Put the tray on the rail plate and push the rail plate into the oven.

Note: The rail may look different depending on the given oven model.

The divider separates the oven into two compartments for Dual Cook mode. You can use both the upper and lower compartments to cook two different foods, or simply choose one compartment to cook with.

Insert the divider in the middle to separate the cooking chamber in two compartments. Make sure to insert the divider with the Dual Cook wording facing on the front side. Then, the oven senses the divider and its default setting activates the upper compartment.

When food is spilled, wiping it off immediately is the best way to prevent odors and bacteria.

It is very important to choose a suitable cleaning solution for this purpose. We recommend to avoid detergent and instead of detergent add a few drops of lemon juice in lukewarm water to clean. In addition, use a clean sponge or soft cloth to avoid scratches.
It is recommended to wipe and dry it with a microfiber cloth after cleaning.

 

Cautions

  • Do not use benzene, thinner, or bleach for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause a fire.
  • Do not use abrasive or harsh cleansers such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products. These can scratch or damage the material.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agent with a hard brush, scouring pads or cloths, steel wool, knives, or any other abrasive materials.
