Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Cleaning: Before first use, clean the frying basket and pan with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space on the back and sides, and 10 cm above the appliance.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Food: Place the food you wish to air fry into the detachable frying basket. Do not overfill the basket.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket firmly back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
3. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired cooking temperature (up to 200°C).
4. Set Timer: Turn the timer control dial to the required cooking time (up to 30 minutes). The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating the air fryer is heating.
