3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking

• Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
• Check that all components are present and undamaged.

3.2 Placement

• Place the air fryer on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space on the back and sides of the appliance, and 10 cm above it, to allow for proper air circulation.
• Do not place the appliance against a wall or other appliances.

3.3 Initial Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
• Clean the frying basket and pan with hot water, a mild dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

3.4 First Use

Before first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor, which is normal.

• Insert the clean frying basket into the appliance.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
• Set the temperature to 200°C and the timer to 10 minutes.
• Once the timer rings, the appliance will switch off. Allow it to cool down.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Preheating (Optional)

For best results, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes is recommended.

• Plug the appliance into a grounded wall outlet.
• Set the desired cooking temperature (e.g., 180°C).
• Set the timer to 3-5 minutes. The appliance will start heating.
• Once the timer rings, the air fryer is preheated.

4.2 Cooking Food

1. Carefully pull the frying basket out of the air fryer by its handle.
2. Place the ingredients into the frying basket. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
3. Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer. Ensure it clicks into place.
4. Set the desired temperature using the temperature control dial (up to 200°C).
5. Set the desired cooking time using the timer control dial (up to 30 minutes). The air fryer will start operating.
6. For some recipes, it may be necessary to shake the ingredients halfway through the cooking time. To do this, pull out the basket, shake it gently, and then slide it back in. The air fryer will resume cooking.
7. When the timer rings, the cooking process is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
8. Empty the food from the basket into a serving dish. Use tongs to remove larger items.
9. Unplug the appliance after use.

4.3 Cooking Tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer cooking time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add a little oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.
