Initial Setup

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

Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance and its accessories.
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.
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.
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.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the table below for common issues and their potential solutions.

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Appliance does not turn on.	Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance. Verify the lid is fully closed and latched.
Food is not cooking evenly.	Do not overcrowd the cooking pot or basket. Cook in smaller batches if necessary. Flip or shake food halfway through cooking for even results. Ensure the correct temperature and time settings are selected for the food type.
Smoke is coming from the appliance.	A small amount of smoke during initial use is normal (first use burn-off). Excessive smoke may indicate food residue or grease buildup. Clean the cooking pot and accessories thoroughly. Ensure fatty foods are not causing excessive grease to drip onto the heating element.
Food is not crispy when air frying.	Ensure the air fry basket is not overloaded. Increase cooking time or temperature slightly. Lightly mist food with oil for better crisping.
