Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Pre-Heating: Ensure the bottom oil collector tray is installed. Plug into a dedicated 240V 20A electrical outlet. Turn on the internal chamber light and rotation motor, setting the thermostat dial to your target temperature (e.g., 180°C–200°C). Allow the chamber to pre-heat for 10 to 15 minutes before loading meat.

2. Basket Loading: Secure whole chickens or meats into the 4 wire baskets, distributing weight evenly to balance the rotation mechanism. Close the toughened glass doors fully to ensure the rubber seals retain internal heat.

3. Daily Hygiene & Maintenance: At the end of trading shifts, turn off electrical power and allow the oven to cool down. Remove the wire baskets and bottom oil collector tray to wash in warm, soapy water. Wipe down the internal stainless steel walls, rubber door gaskets, and toughened glass panels with a soft microfibre cloth and a food-safe commercial degreaser or glass cleaner.
