Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and stickers.
2. Clean: Wash the frying basket and pan 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.
4. Airflow: Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space around the appliance for proper airflow.
5. Pre-heat (Optional): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight smell may occur, which is normal.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place the ingredients into the frying basket. Do not overfill.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer.
3. Set Temperature: Use the temperature control knob to set the desired cooking temperature (80°C - 200°C).
4. Set Timer: Use the timer control knob to set the desired cooking time (0 - 60 minutes). The appliance will automatically turn off when the timer reaches zero.
5. Cooking Process: The power indicator light will illuminate, and the air fryer will begin heating.
6. Shaking/Turning Food: For some foods, it may be necessary to shake or turn the ingredients halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. To do this, carefully pull out the basket, shake or turn the food, and then slide the basket back in. The air fryer will resume cooking.
7. Completion: When the timer rings, the cooking process is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and remove the food.

Cooking Tips:

• Smaller ingredients usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer cooking time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add a little oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you have added the oil.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
