Answer:

Before an oven is used for the first time, the oven interior should be cleaned and a burn-in may be required.

• Wolf recommends discarding any food that is cooked in the oven before the first-time use/burn-in process is completed.
• For units with two ovens, the burn-in process can be done in both ovens simultaneously.
• Animals sensitive to odors may be impacted by the burn-in process. Use ventilation and move pets to an area away from the kitchen as needed.
• The unit's cooling fans run after the burn-in is complete.
• There is no set time on how long it will take for an oven to completely cool after use.
• See Electric Oven Cooling Fan Operation for more information.

1. Clean the oven interior, door, and glass with soap and water to remove some of the manufacturing grease; the remaining oil residue will burn off during the burn-in process.
2. Remove broiler pans from the oven before proceeding. It is not necessary to remove oven racks or guides for the burn-in process.
3. Operate the oven on "CONVECTION ROAST" at 550°F for 1 hour after it has preheated.
   • Some odor or smoke may be produced during the burn-in process. This is normal.
   • Running a ventilation hood or opening a window will help to circulate airflow in the room and reduce the amount of odor or smoke that may be produced.
   • Oven cracking or popping noises the first few times of use is considered normal.
