- Prepare Food: Place your food in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overfill. For best results, food should be in a single layer or shaken periodically.
- Insert Basket: Slide the basket firmly into the main unit until it clicks into place.

- Cooking Process: The air fryer will begin heating. For even cooking, especially with larger quantities, pull out the basket halfway through the cooking time and shake or flip the food. Reinsert the basket to resume cooking.
- Completion: Once the timer sounds, carefully pull out the basket. Use heat-resistant tongs to remove the cooked food.
