2. Setup and First Use
2.1 Unpacking
- Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials from the box.
- Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
- Inspect the air fryer for any damage. Do not use if damaged.
2.2 Placement
- Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.
- Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the back and sides of the appliance for proper ventilation.
- Do not place the air fryer near flammable materials or heat sources.
2.3 Before First Use
- Wash the frying basket and pan thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before use.
- It is recommended to run the air fryer for about 10 minutes on a high temperature setting without food to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present during this initial run; this is normal.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Control Panel Overview
The air fryer features a holographic touchscreen with intuitive controls for time, temperature, and pre-set programs. The display shows the current settings and remaining cooking time.
3.2 Cooking Process
- Prepare Food: Place your ingredients in the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
- Select Program or Manual Settings:
- Pre-set Programs: Choose from 8 smart menu options by tapping the corresponding icon on the touchscreen. These programs automatically set optimal time and temperature for common dishes.
- Manual Settings: Adjust the cooking time (0-60 minutes) and temperature (40-200°C) using the '+' and '-' buttons.
- Start Cooking: Press the start button to begin the cooking cycle.
- Monitor Progress: Utilize the dual viewing windows (upper ring view window and wide screen viewing window) to monitor your food without opening the basket. The built-in furnace light provides brighter illumination.
- X Cyclone 2.0 System: This system ensures powerful hot air circulation, heating food evenly from top and bottom, eliminating the need for manual flipping.
- Steam Tender Baking: For dishes requiring a crispy exterior and tender interior, add approximately 10g (a spoonful) of water to the designated water injection area at the bottom of the pan before cooking. This creates a steam film that locks in moisture.
- Finish Cooking: The air fryer will beep when the cooking cycle is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and remove the food.
4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Midea Air Fryer.
4.1 Cleaning the Frying Basket and Pan
- Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Remove the frying basket and pan.
- Wash them with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. The 5-layer composite non-stick coating makes cleaning easy.
- For stubborn food residues, soak the basket and pan in hot water with some dish soap for about 10 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
4.2 Cleaning the Interior and Exterior
- Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the interior metal cavity with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The 2.0 metal-edged inner cavity is resistant to high temperatures and odor-free.
- Ensure no water enters the appliance's electrical components.
4.3 Storage
Store the air fryer in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Midea Air Fryer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
5.1 Appliance Not Turning On
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
- Verify that the frying basket is fully inserted into the appliance. The air fryer has a safety mechanism that prevents operation if the basket is not correctly in place.
5.2 Food Not Cooked Evenly or Crispy
- Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook food in smaller batches if necessary to allow hot air to circulate properly.
- Ensure the correct temperature and time settings are selected for the food type.
- While the X Cyclone 2.0 system reduces the need for flipping, for very dense or large items, a quick shake or stir halfway through cooking can still improve results.
5.3 White Smoke Coming from the Appliance
- White smoke is usually caused by grease or oil residue from previous use. Ensure the frying basket and pan are thoroughly cleaned after each use.
- If cooking fatty foods, excess oil may drip into the pan and cause smoke. Remove excess fat from food before cooking.
5.4 Appliance Emits an Unusual Odor During First Use
- This is normal for new appliances and is usually due to manufacturing residues burning off. It should dissipate after a few uses. Ensure good ventilation during initial use.

- Preheat for Best Results: Although not always necessary, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food can lead to crispier results and more consistent cooking.
- Don't Overcrowd: For optimal air circulation and even cooking, avoid overfilling the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Always use a reliable meat thermometer to ensure meats are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
- Lightly Oil for Crispiness: While air frying uses little to no oil, a light spray of oil on certain foods can enhance crispiness and flavor.
- Experiment with Recipes: The 8 smart menu options are a great starting point, but don't hesitate to experiment with different temperatures and times for your favorite recipes.
