4.1 Basic Operation
- Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
- Set Temperature: Turn the Temperature Control knob to your desired cooking temperature.
- Set Timer: Turn the Timer Control knob to the required cooking time. The air fryer will begin heating. The indicator lights will illuminate.
- Cooking Process: The rapid air technology circulates hot air around the food. For best results, shake the basket halfway through the cooking time for items like fries or smaller pieces of food.
- Completion: When the timer reaches zero, the air fryer will automatically shut off and a bell will sound. Carefully pull out the basket using the cool-touch handle.
- Serve: Remove the cooked food from the basket. Use non-scratch utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.
