FAQs
What is the actual usable capacity of the 50-litre oven?
The 50-litre capacity refers to the gross volume of the oven. The usable space for cooking will be slightly less due to racks and internal components, but it is well-suited for medium-sized dishes and standard baking trays.
Do I need a special Air Fry tray, or is one included?
While the oven has an Air Fry function, specific Air Fry trays are often sold separately. Check your product packaging or user manual to confirm if one is included. A perforated tray is generally recommended for best Air Fry results.
How often should I use the Steam Cleaning function?
The frequency depends on your usage and how often spills occur. For optimal cleanliness, use the Steam Cleaning function after every few uses or whenever you notice significant residue. This helps prevent stains from becoming baked on.
Can I use the Microwave Combi function without a connected smartphone?
Yes, all core cooking functions, including Microwave Combi, can be operated directly from the oven's control panel without needing the SmartThings app. The app offers additional convenience for remote control and monitoring.
What is the difference between Microwave Combi and a standard microwave oven?
A standard microwave primarily uses microwaves to heat food. The Microwave Combi function combines microwave power with convection heat (and sometimes grilling) to cook food faster while also browning and crisping it, providing oven-like results in less time.
Is professional installation required for this compact oven?
While some users may be able to install it themselves, it's generally recommended to have a qualified professional install any built-in appliance, especially for electrical connections and ensuring proper ventilation. Always consult the installation guide.
What type of cookware is safe to use in the Microwave Combi mode?
For Microwave Combi mode, use oven-safe and microwave-safe cookware. Avoid metal cookware unless specifically instructed by the manual for combination cooking, as metal can cause arcing in microwave mode. Glass, ceramic, and silicone dishes are generally safe.
Troubleshooting
Oven is not heating or turning on.
Check if the oven is properly plugged into a live power outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Verify the oven door is fully closed. If the issue persists, consult your user manual or contact customer support.
Food cooked with Air Fry is not crispy.
Ensure you are not overcrowding the Air Fry tray, which can inhibit hot air circulation. Make sure the oven has preheated to the correct temperature. Consider extending cooking time slightly or turning the food halfway through cooking.
Natural Steam function is not producing steam.
Check if the water reservoir is adequately filled. Ensure the reservoir is correctly inserted into its slot. Verify that the Natural Steam function was properly selected before starting the cooking cycle.
SmartThings app cannot connect to the oven or control it.
Confirm your home Wi-Fi network is active and the oven is within range. Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Try restarting both your oven (by cycling power) and the SmartThings app. If issues persist, re-attempt the app's oven pairing process.
Oven interior appears stained or difficult to clean.
Utilize the Steam Cleaning option to loosen baked-on residue. Allow the cycle to complete, then wipe down the interior with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, repeat the steam cleaning or use a non-abrasive oven cleaner designed for enamel surfaces.

- Power Connection: Connect the oven to a dedicated power outlet according to electrical specifications. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
- First Use: Before cooking, run an empty cycle (e.g., 15 minutes at 200°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. You may notice a slight odor during this initial burn-in.
- SmartThings App: Download the SmartThings app on your smartphone or tablet. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your oven to your home Wi-Fi network. You will need your Wi-Fi network name and password.
Compatibility
- SmartThings App: Compatible with most modern iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Ensure your device meets the minimum operating system requirements for the app.
- Network: Requires a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for SmartThings connectivity. (5 GHz networks are generally not supported for appliance connections).
Care and Maintenance
- Steam Cleaning: For light to moderate spills and grime, use the Steam Cleaning option. Fill the designated water reservoir, select the function, and let the steam loosen the residue. Once complete, wipe clean with a soft cloth.
- Enamel Interior: The Enamel Interior is designed for easy cleaning. For everyday spills, wipe immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the surface.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Door Seal: Regularly inspect the door seal for food debris and clean gently. A clean seal ensures efficient operation.
- Air Fry Tray: If using a specific Air Fry tray, clean it after each use according to its instructions, typically with warm soapy water.
- Descaling: If using the Natural Steam function frequently, you may need to descale the steam generator periodically, depending on your water hardness. Refer to the user manual for specific descaling instructions.
