Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
- Clean: Wash the cooking baskets and crisper trays with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to allow for proper air circulation.
- Insert Components: Place the crisper trays into the cooking baskets. Insert the cooking baskets into the main unit. If using TriZone, ensure the divider is properly seated.
- Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The digital display will illuminate.
- Initial Run (Optional but Recommended): For first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation.
