3. Initial Setup

1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
2. Clean: Wash the frying basket and crisper plate thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space on the back and sides, and 10 cm (4 inches) of free space above the appliance.
4. First Use: It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 200°C (390°F) before first use to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight odor may be present, which is normal and will dissipate.

Using the Air Fryer

2. Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the main unit until it clicks into place.
3. Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The display will light up.
4. Select Cooking Method:
   • Pre-set Programs: Touch the desired food icon (e.g., French Fries, Chicken Wing) on the digital panel. The air fryer will automatically set the optimal time and temperature for that food.
   • Manual Setting: Use the temperature and time control buttons to manually adjust the cooking temperature (up to 200°C / 390°F) and time (up to 60 minutes).
5. Start Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking process.
6. Shake Basket (Optional): For some foods, it is recommended to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Pull out the basket, shake it gently, and then slide it back in. The air fryer will resume cooking automatically.
7. Completion: The air fryer will beep when the cooking time is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a serving dish.

Cooking Tips

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A small amount of oil can be added to fresh potatoes for a crispier result.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• Use the air fryer to reheat food.
