Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Remove all packaging materials and stickers.
2. Cleaning: Wash the frying basket and crisper plate thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space around the appliance.
4. Preheating (Optional): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10 minutes at 180°C to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present, which is normal.

2. Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the appliance.
3. Power On: Plug the main plug into a grounded wall outlet. The appliance will beep, and the display will light up.

5. Start Cooking: Press the start button to begin the cooking process. The fan and heating element will activate.
6. Shake Basket (if needed): For some foods, you may need to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. Carefully pull out the basket, shake it, and then slide it back in. The appliance will resume cooking automatically.
7. Cooking Complete: When the set cooking time has elapsed, the appliance will beep. Carefully pull out the basket and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
