Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord, plugs, or the main unit in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
  • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the AeroFryer. Retain packaging for storage or shipping if needed.
2. Cleaning: Before first use, wash the glass cooking pot, mesh basket, and reversible racks with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit (containing electrical components) in water.
3. Placement: Place the AeroFryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to ensure proper ventilation. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the appliance.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the appliance is unplugged before placing any components. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. Initial Burn-off (Recommended): For the first use, operate the empty AeroFryer for approximately 10-15 minutes at maximum temperature (480°F/250°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Operating Instructions

General Operation

1. Prepare Food: Place your food into the mesh basket or directly onto the reversible racks within the glass cooking pot. Do not overfill to allow for proper air circulation.
2. Close Lid: Ensure the lid is securely closed. The appliance will not operate if the lid is not properly seated.
3. Set Temperature: Turn the Temperature Control Knob to your desired cooking temperature. Refer to recipes or food packaging for guidance.
4. Set Timer: Turn the Timer Control Knob to the desired cooking time. The appliance will begin heating immediately. The power indicator light will illuminate.
5. Monitor Cooking: The transparent glass pot allows you to monitor the cooking process without opening the lid.
6. Shaking/Turning Food: For even cooking, especially with items like fries or chicken wings, you may need to shake the basket or turn the food halfway through the cooking time. Carefully open the lid (hot steam will escape), use heat-resistant utensils, and then close the lid securely to resume cooking.
7. Completion: The appliance will automatically turn off when the timer reaches zero, and a bell will sound. The power indicator light will turn off.
8. Remove Food: Carefully open the lid. Using oven mitts or heat-resistant handles, remove the mesh basket or racks with the cooked food. Place hot components on a heat-resistant surface.
9. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.

Cooking Tips

• For crispier results, lightly toss food with a small amount of oil (e.g., 1 tablespoon for 1 lb of fries) before placing it in the AeroFryer.
• Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even air circulation and crisping.
• Frozen foods can be cooked directly without thawing, though cooking times may need to be adjusted.
• The AeroFryer utilizes triple cooking power (halogen, convection, infrared) for efficient and fast cooking, cooking up to 3 times faster than conventional methods.
