3. Before First Use & Setup

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

1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
2. Clean Components: Wash the basket and grill plate thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry completely. The basket and grill plate are dishwasher safe.
3. Wipe Main Unit: Wipe the inside and outside of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
4. Initial Run (Odor Removal): It is normal for a slight odor to be present during the first few uses. To minimize this, place a few slices of lemon in the basket and run the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Ensure good ventilation.
5. 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 4 inches (10 cm) of free space on the back and sides, and 4 inches (10 cm) above the appliance.

4. Operating Instructions

Basic Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place the food you wish to air fry into the basket. Do not overfill the basket to allow for proper air circulation.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the basket back into the main unit until it clicks into place.
3. Power On: Plug the air fryer into a grounded wall outlet. The display will light up. Press the Power On/Off button (triangle/play symbol) to activate the control panel.

6. Start Cooking: Press the Power On/Off button again to start the cooking process. The fan and heating element will activate.
7. Pause/Resume: You can pause cooking at any time by pulling out the basket. The air fryer will automatically pause and resume when the basket is reinserted.
8. Shake/Turn Food: For even cooking, especially with items like fries or chicken wings, it is recommended to shake or turn the food halfway through the cooking time. The air fryer will pause when the basket is removed.
9. End of Cooking: The air fryer will automatically shut off when the set time has elapsed and beep several times. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a serving dish.

Cooking Tips:

• For crispier results, lightly brush or spray food with oil.
• Smaller food items usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger items.
• Preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food can improve cooking results.
• Foods that are typically cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the air fryer.
• For delicate foods or those that might stick, consider using parchment paper or aluminum foil in the basket.
