Before First Use

- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Clean the frying basket and pan thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry completely.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space at the back and sides of the appliance, and 10 cm (4 inches) above it, to allow for proper air circulation.
- Initial Run (Optional): Some users prefer to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 200°C (390°F) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. Ensure good ventilation during this process.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your air fryer:
- Prepare Food: Prepare your ingredients as desired. For best results, lightly coat foods like fresh potatoes with a small amount of oil.
- Place Food in Basket: Pull the basket out of the air fryer. Place the food into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure there is enough space for hot air to circulate.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
- Plug In: Plug the main power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The display will light up.
- Set Temperature and Time: Use the temperature and time control buttons on the digital panel to set your desired cooking temperature and time. Refer to a recipe or cooking guide for recommended settings.
- Start Cooking: Press the Start/Stop button to begin the cooking process. The air fryer will start heating and the fan will operate.
- Shake Basket (Optional): For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries, pull out the basket halfway through the cooking time and shake it gently. Then slide it back in. The air fryer will resume cooking automatically.
- Check Doneness: When the cooking time is complete, the air fryer will beep. Carefully pull out the basket and check if the food is cooked to your preference. If not, slide the basket back in and set additional time.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cooked food from the basket using tongs. Place it on a plate. Be cautious of hot oil or juices that may have collected in the bottom of the pan.
- Unplug: After use, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.
