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 broiler pans from the oven before proceeding.
  • 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.
