Before first use, follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials and stickers from the appliance.

3. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space on the back and sides, and 10 cm (4 inches) above the appliance.
4. Initial Run (Optional): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10 minutes at maximum temperature to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to operate your Homeleader K58-004 Air Fryer:

1. Prepare Food: Place the ingredients you wish to cook into the food basket. Do not overfill the basket.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the food basket with the outer pan back into the main unit until it clicks securely into place. The appliance will not operate if the pan is not properly inserted.
3. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control knob to your desired cooking temperature (80℃ - 200℃).
4. Set Timer: Turn the timer knob to the required cooking time (1 - 30 minutes). The air fryer will start operating. The power indicator light (orange) and heating indicator light (green) will illuminate.
5. Cooking Process: During cooking, the heating indicator light will cycle on and off as the air fryer maintains the set temperature.
6. Shaking (Optional): For even cooking, especially for smaller items like fries, pull out the outer pan and basket halfway through the cooking time and gently shake the contents. Then slide the pan back in. The air fryer will resume operation.
7. Completion: When the timer reaches zero, you will hear a bell sound, and the air fryer will automatically shut off. Both indicator lights will turn off.
8. Remove Food: Carefully pull out the outer pan from the appliance. Place it on a heat-resistant surface. Press the basket release button and lift the food basket out of the outer pan.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Outer Pan and Basket: The outer pan and food basket are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn food residues, soak the pan and basket in hot water with some dish soap for about 10 minutes.
3. Clean Interior: Wipe the inside of the appliance with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a soft brush to remove any food residues from the heating element.
4. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
5. Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing the appliance in a cool, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your air fryer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not work:
  • Ensure the power plug is securely inserted into the wall socket.
  • Check if the outer pan and food basket are correctly inserted and locked into the main unit. The appliance has a safety switch that prevents operation if not properly assembled.
  • Verify that the timer is set to a cooking time.
• Food is not cooked evenly:
  • Do not overfill the basket. Cook food in smaller batches if necessary.
  • Shake the food basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure even exposure to hot air.
• White smoke comes out of the appliance:
  • White smoke can indicate that you are frying greasy ingredients. This is normal and will not harm the appliance.
  • Excess oil from food may have collected in the outer pan. Clean the outer pan after each use.
  • Ensure there are no food residues or grease from previous use on the heating element.
• Fresh fries are not crispy:
  • Ensure you are using the right type of potato for frying.
  • Rinse potato sticks properly to remove starch before air frying.
  • Add a small amount of oil (1/2 tablespoon) to the fresh fries for a crispier result.
