Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or stickers from your air fryer.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the air fryer basket and crisper plate with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of space behind and above the appliance for proper air circulation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The control panel will illuminate briefly.
- First Use (Odor Removal): It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to eliminate any manufacturing odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process.
