Initial Setup

Before using your appliance for the first time, follow these steps:

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance and its accessories.
  2. Clean: Wash the removable cooking pot, grill plate, and air fry basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
  3. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of space on all sides.
  4. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the appliance empty for about 10-15 minutes on a high setting (e.g., Grill at 450°F) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
