4. Setup and First Use

Before using your hot-air fryer for the first time, please follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials and stickers from the appliance.
2. Clean: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Wash the frying basket and crisper plate thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry completely.
3. Position: Place the main unit on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the back and sides of the appliance for proper ventilation.
4. Initial Run (Burn-in): For the first use, it is recommended to run the fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (356°F) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight odor may be present, which is normal and will dissipate. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process.
5. Cool Down: Allow the appliance to cool down completely after the initial run before proceeding with cooking.

5. Operating Instructions
