Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions before use.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse 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 outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool 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. Contact customer service for assistance.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of 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 plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or 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.

Preheating
For best results, preheat the air fryer for approximately 3 minutes before adding food. Set the desired temperature and timer, and wait for the indicator light to signal that the temperature has been reached.
Cooking Process
- Carefully pull the basket out of the air fryer.
- Place your ingredients into the basket. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
- Slide the basket back into the air fryer.
- Set the desired temperature and cooking time using the dial controls.
- The air fryer will automatically turn off when the timer is complete or if the basket is removed during operation.
- For even cooking, shake the basket halfway through the cooking time for items like fries or nuggets.
Basket Removal and Handling
To safely remove the basket from the pot, press the release button located on the handle straight down. Avoid pressing it at an angle to prevent jamming. If the button jams, push it at an angle to release it. For detailed visual instructions, refer to the video below.
