4. Setup and First Use
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance. Keep packaging for future storage or disposal.
4.2 Initial Cleaning
- Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- Clean the basket and crisper plate with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. These parts are dishwasher safe.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before use.
4.3 Placement
Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the unit (at least 10 cm clearance on all sides and top).
4.4 First Use (Burn-in Cycle)
It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor may be present during this process; this is normal.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Basic Operation
- Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The appliance will beep, and the display will illuminate briefly.
- Pull the basket out of the air fryer. Place your ingredients into the basket, ensuring not to overfill (do not exceed the MAX line).
- Slide the basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
- The display will show the default temperature and time. Use the control dial to adjust the temperature (80°C to 200°C) and time (1 to 60 minutes). Press the dial to switch between temperature and time settings.
- Press the Start/Pause button (usually a play/pause icon) to begin cooking.
- During cooking, you can pull out the basket to shake or turn ingredients. The air fryer will automatically pause and resume when the basket is reinserted.
- Once the timer reaches zero, the air fryer will beep, indicating cooking is complete.

5.3 Cooking Tips
- For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning, especially for smaller items like fries or nuggets.
- Lightly brush or spray food with oil for extra crispiness, though many foods require no added oil.
- Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
- For foods that typically require baking, the air fryer can often achieve similar results with a crispy exterior.
