Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any stickers or labels.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the cooking basket and grid with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space around the back and sides of the appliance to allow for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly under a wall cabinet.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of your appliance (220-240V).
5. First Use (Burn-in): It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor may be present during this process; this is normal.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

1. Power On: Plug the air fryer into a power outlet. The display will light up briefly, then show a standby indicator.
2. Preheating (Optional but Recommended): For best results, preheat the air fryer. Press the power button, then set your desired temperature (e.g., 180°C) and time (e.g., 5 minutes). Press the start button to begin preheating.
3. Loading Food: Once preheated (or if not preheating), pull out the cooking basket using the cold touch handle. Place your food onto the non-stick grid. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
4. Insert Basket: Slide the cooking basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
5. Select Program or Manual Settings:

6. Start Cooking: Press the start button to begin the cooking cycle.
7. Monitoring: Use the viewing window and internal light to check on your food without opening the basket.
8. Shaking/Flipping (Optional): For some foods, especially fries or smaller items, it's recommended to shake or flip them halfway through cooking for even crisping. Carefully pull out the basket, shake/flip, and reinsert. The fryer will resume cooking.
9. End of Cooking: The air fryer will automatically shut off and emit an acoustic signal when the timer reaches zero.
10. Removing Food: Carefully pull out the cooking basket using the cold touch handle. Transfer the cooked food to a plate.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your air fryer.

1. Unplug and Cool Down: Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Basket and Grid: The non-stick cooking basket and grid are dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating. Use a non-abrasive sponge.
