• Do Not Overfill: Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking and optimal airflow. Cook in batches if necessary.
• Even Cooking: Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for uniform results.
• Temperature Conversion: The unit can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit to suit your recipe needs.
• Recipe Inspiration: Refer to the included recipe book or online resources for various air fryer recipes.
