Setup and First Use
Follow these steps to prepare your air fryer for its first use:
- Unpack: Carefully unpack the appliance and all accessories. Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels.
- Clean Components: Clean the removable basket and any other removable parts with hot water, a small amount of dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Wipe Main Unit: Wipe the inside and outside of the main appliance unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Ensure the surface is heat-resistant. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces or near flammable materials.
- Air Circulation: Ensure there is sufficient space (at least 10 cm or 4 inches) around the appliance for proper air circulation during operation. This prevents overheating and ensures efficient cooking.
- Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a grounded wall outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of your local power supply.
- Initial Burn-off: Before cooking food for the first time, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (356°F). This helps to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight odor or light smoke may be present during this process, which is normal and will dissipate.
Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
Follow these steps for general use of your air fryer:
- Prepare Food: Prepare your ingredients as desired. For best results, ensure food items are relatively dry.
- Load Basket: Pull the basket out of the air fryer using the handle. Place the ingredients into the basket. Do not exceed the MAX fill line indicated inside the basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Insert Basket: Slide the basket firmly back into the air fryer until it clicks into place. The appliance will not operate if the basket is not fully inserted.
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The digital display will illuminate.
- Set Temperature and Time: Use the digital control panel to set the desired cooking temperature (ranging from 80°C to 200°C) and cooking time (up to 60 minutes). Refer to recipes or cooking guides for recommended settings.
- Start Cooking: Press the start button to begin the cooking process. The air fryer will begin heating and the fan will operate.
- Shake Ingredients (if needed): For certain ingredients, especially smaller items like fries, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time can ensure more even browning. To do this, carefully pull the basket out, shake its contents, and then slide it back in. The air fryer will automatically resume cooking from where it left off.
- Completion: When the set cooking time has elapsed, the timer will beep to indicate that cooking is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and empty the cooked contents into a serving dish.
- Power Off: Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet after use and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
Cooking Tips
- For crispier results, lightly brush or spray food with a small amount of oil before cooking.
- Smaller ingredients generally require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
- A larger amount of ingredients may require a slightly longer cooking time and possibly more frequent shaking.
- Foods that can be cooked in a conventional oven can typically also be cooked in the air fryer. Adjust cooking times and temperatures as needed.
- The air fryer is excellent for reheating leftovers, often making them crispier than a microwave.

Maintenance and Cleaning
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer, clean the appliance after every use.
- Cool Down: Always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
- Basket and Interior Cleaning: Clean the removable basket and the inside of the air fryer with hot water, a small amount of dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. The non-stick basket is also dishwasher safe for convenience.
- Stubborn Residues: For stubborn food residues, soak the basket in hot water with some dish soap for about 10 minutes to loosen the debris before cleaning.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials (e.g., steel wool) on any part of the air fryer, as this may damage the non-stick coating and other surfaces.
- Heating Element: If necessary, gently clean the heating element inside the air fryer with a soft cleaning brush to remove any accumulated food residues. Ensure the appliance is completely cool and unplugged before doing so.
- Storage: Once clean and dry, store the appliance in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your CREATE Fryer Air, refer to the table below for common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The air fryer does not work. | The appliance is not plugged in, or the basket is not fully inserted. | Ensure the main plug is securely inserted into a grounded wall socket. Push the basket firmly into the appliance until it clicks into place. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Too much food in the basket, or food was not shaken. | Reduce the amount of food in the basket to allow for better air circulation. For certain foods, shake the basket halfway through the cooking time. |
| Food is not crispy enough. | Ingredients that are typically fried require some oil for crispiness, or temperature/time settings are too low. | Lightly brush or spray a small amount of oil onto the ingredients. Increase the cooking temperature or time slightly. |
| White smoke comes out of the appliance. | Fat residues from previous use, or cooking fatty ingredients. | Clean the basket and the inside of the appliance thoroughly after each use to remove fat residues. If cooking very fatty foods, this is normal; ensure proper ventilation. |
| Appliance smells like plastic during first use. | New appliance odor from manufacturing. | This is normal. Run the air fryer empty for 10-15 minutes at 180°C (356°F) before first use to burn off any residual odors. Ensure good ventilation. |
