Effective and Safe Usage of Your Newly Acquired Oven

Oven, a familiar and widely used household appliance in many Vietnamese families. So, how to efficiently and safely use your newly purchased oven? Let's explore the details with Mytour Supermarket.

Using Your Newly Purchased Oven

The oven is comprised of the following simple components: 

Outer Shell: Crafted from stainless steel, providing excellent insulation.

Oven Chamber: Where food is placed, usually equipped with racks for baking trays or adjustable positions.

Oven Door: Typically made of heat-resistant glass, allowing users to observe the baking process without opening the door.

Oven Structure 

Interior Lighting: The internal lighting system helps users easily monitor and observe the condition of the food inside.

Heat Vent: Designed inside the oven chamber, its main function is to generate heat to cook the food thoroughly.

Convection Fan: This component facilitates rapid and even circulation of hot air throughout the oven cavity, ensuring even cooking on all sides and reducing cooking time effectively.

An oven operates based on the transformation principle from electrical energy to heat energy. The internal heating element system directly emits heat, allowing for quick and efficient cooking of food.

It is advisable to thoroughly read the manufacturer's user manual before using the oven. This helps you understand the operation, hygiene, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the oven.

- Carefully inspect the oven when newly purchased, ensuring that the equipment is not damaged during transportation. If there is any damage, contact the warranty center promptly for timely resolution.

- Before usage, ensure that knobs, baking modes, and temperature controls are always in the off position.

Inspecting Each Part of the Oven

- Check inside the oven cavity for any papers or plastic bags. If present, remove them to avoid the risk of burning or plastic leakage, which could cause unpleasant odors inside the oven cavity.

- For a newly purchased oven, it should be placed in a suitable location, with a minimum distance of 10cm from the wall. This helps the oven dissipate heat more effectively and prevents moisture and mold buildup during prolonged use.

- Install the oven at eye level for easier observation of the food inside while baking.

Installation Position

- Avoid placing the oven near objects such as curtains, gas stoves, etc., as it can pose a fire hazard. Additionally, do not position the appliance next to the refrigerator, TV, washing machine, etc., as the heat emitted from the oven may affect other electronic devices, posing a safety risk during use.

- Check if the oven's power cords are properly plugged in. Note that it is advisable to use a dedicated electrical outlet for this appliance due to its high operating power.

- Use a damp cloth to clean the outer shell of the oven. Then, use a sponge and dish soap to scrub the interior of the oven chamber and the oven door thoroughly.

- Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the oven chamber and door until all the soap residue is gone. Finally, use a dry cloth to thoroughly dry the entire oven.

Cleaning the Newly Purchased Oven

- Accessories that come with the oven, such as grates, skewers, baking trays, etc., also need to be cleaned to avoid imparting any odors to the food during use.

It is advisable to preheat the oven for 10 minutes at a high power setting. This helps eliminate any dirt, bacteria, or odors that may be present inside the oven chamber during production or transportation. In subsequent uses, preheating the oven for 10 minutes ensures that the dishes are cooked thoroughly and saves time effectively.

Preheat the Oven for at Least 10 Minutes Before Use

Step 1: Wait for the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

Step 2: Use a clean cloth to wipe the interior of the oven, avoiding the use of hard tools to prevent scratches and damage to the surface.

Step 4: Store properly to ensure the oven will be used efficiently next time.

To enhance safety when using the oven, pay attention to the following issues: 

- Before usage, inspect the oven to ensure there is nothing inside and clean it to avoid burning residue.

- Avoid using flammable materials such as paper, cardboard, or sponge in the oven. These materials can cause a fire hazard.

- Set the appropriate temperature to ensure even and better cooking, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. Using gloves to take items out of the oven is the best way to prevent burns.

- Children can get injured if not careful, so make sure that young children are not too close to the oven when it is in operation.

Safety precautions when using the oven

- Always turn off the oven when not in use to prevent collisions or unwanted accidents.

- Minimize opening the oven frequently during operation; this action can cause heat loss and affect the quality of the food. 

- Regularly check the oven's power cord and plug; if any damage is detected, immediately contact the warranty center for prompt inspection and repair.
