Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

1. Remove all packaging materials from the appliance.
2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3. Thoroughly clean the frying basket and any accessories with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

Placement:

• Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance (at least 10 cm clearance on all sides).

Pre-heating (First Use):

It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10 minutes on its highest temperature setting (200°C) during the first use. This will help burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight smell or smoke may be present, which is normal.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

1. Plug the main power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
2. Carefully pull the frying basket out of the air fryer.
3. Place the ingredients into the frying basket. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
4. Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer. Ensure it clicks into place.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature (80°C-200°C).
6. Turn the Timer Control Knob to the desired cooking time (0-60 minutes). The air fryer will start operating.
7. During cooking, some ingredients may require shaking or turning halfway through the cooking time. To do this, pull out the basket, shake/turn the ingredients, and then slide the basket back in. The air fryer will resume cooking automatically.
8. When the set cooking time has elapsed, the timer will ring, and the air fryer will automatically shut off.
9. Carefully pull out the basket and check if the ingredients are cooked.
10. Empty the basket contents onto a plate. Use tongs for larger items.

Cooking Tips:
