Smart Convection Oven
Instruction Manual

Zulay Kitchen is named after my extraordinary mother, Zulay. She was raised in poverty-stricken Venezuela and, against all odds, brought my brother and me to live in the US. As a single mother, she worked extra-long hours but still found time to cook healthy meals for us. At the time, thought nothing of it. But now that ‘m married with children of my own,  I see how much of a super- hero mom she really was.
My yvife and I  crgated Zu!ay Kitchen to make §hopping easier than ever in today’s busy world. We believe that cooking should be fast and easy, so you have more time to enjoy with your loved ones.
Aaron Cordovez, Co-Founder of Zulay Kitchen

CLEANING & STORAGE

CLEANING THE CRUMB TRAY

• After each use, slide out the Crumb Tray and discard the crumbs. Wipe the tray with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleaner or mild spray solution may be used to avoid buildup of stains. Apply the cleaner to the sponge, not the tray, before cleaning. Dry thoroughly. Use caution, as the crumb tray may be hot. Let it cool before handling as needed.
• To remove the baked-on grease, soak the tray in warm soapy water, then wash with a soft sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Always ensure to re-insert the Crumb Tray into the oven after cleaning and prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the ovenon.

CLEANING THE OUTER BODY AND DOOR

• Wipe the outer body with a soft damp sponge or cleaning cloth. Use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner or mild cleaner solution spray to remove build-up or food stains. Do hot spray directly on stove, first spray onto sponge or cloth for best results. We recommend using an Apple Cider Vinegar cleaning solution of 50% part water and 50% Apple Cider Vinegar for all internal and external cleaning.
• To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a soft, damp sponge or soft plastic scouring pad. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or metal scouring pad as these will scratch the oven’s surface.
• Wipe the LCD screen witha soft, damp cloth. Do not apply the cleaner directly onto the LCD screen, instead apply it to a cloth. Cleaning the LCD screen surface with a dry cloth and/or abrasive cleaners may produce scratches.

  WARNING: Use extreme caution when cleaning the heating elements. Unplug the power cord from the wall and allow the oven to cool completely. A Use soft, damp sponge or cloth to gently rub the heating elements. Do not use any type of cleaner or cleaning agent. Let all the surfaces dry prior to plugging the oven back in.
