Setup and First Use

Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels from the air fryer.
Clean: Wash the frying basket and crisper plate with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate space (at least 4 inches) around the back and sides for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
Pre-heat (Optional but Recommended): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer for about 10 minutes at 200°C (400°F) without any food inside. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal.
Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The display will illuminate.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket firmly back into the main unit. The air fryer will not operate if the basket is not fully inserted.
Set Temperature: Press the Time/Temperature button to select temperature adjustment. Use the Up/Down arrows to set the desired cooking temperature (80°C to 200°C).
Set Time: Press the Time/Temperature button again to select time adjustment. Use the Up/Down arrows to set the desired cooking time (up to 60 minutes).
Start Cooking: Press the Switch On/Off button to begin the cooking process. The fan and heating element will activate.
Shake/Flip (Optional): For best results, especially with smaller items like fries, pull out the basket halfway through cooking and shake or flip the food. Reinsert the basket to resume cooking.
End of Cooking: The air fryer will beep when the set time has elapsed and automatically shut off. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a plate.
