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.
• Oven racks can stay inside the oven during this burn-in.
• Remove the broiler pans from the oven before proceeding.
• 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 kitchen ventilation (range hood, open a window, etc.) 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 for how long it will take for an oven to completely cool after use. See Electric Oven Cooling Fan Operation for more information.
