Setup and First Use

- Clean: Wash the air-frying basket and basket separator in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of space on all sides.

Operating Instructions
Cooking with Your Air Fryer
- Prepare Food: Place your desired food into the air-frying basket. For best results, do not overfill the basket. The 2-liter capacity is ideal for 2-4 servings.
- Insert Basket: Slide the air-frying basket firmly back into the main unit until it clicks into place.
- Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired cooking temperature, ranging from 175°F to 400°F.
- Set Timer: Turn the 60-minute timer dial to the recommended cooking time for your food. The air fryer will begin heating. The power indicator light will illuminate, and the preheat indicator light will turn off once the set temperature is reached.
- Shake/Flip (Optional): For even cooking, especially with items like fries or chicken wings, pull out the basket halfway through the cooking time and gently shake or flip the food. Then, reinsert the basket.
- Completion: The air fryer will automatically shut off when the timer reaches zero. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a serving dish.

Tips for Best Results

- Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes can improve cooking results.
- Refer to the included recipe guide for specific cooking times and temperatures for various foods.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer.
- Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
- Basket and Separator: The air-frying basket and basket separator feature nonstick surfaces for easy food release. They are also dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
- Interior: For the interior, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the nonstick coating.
