4. Before First Use

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

1. Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
2. Clean the frying basket and any removable parts with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
4. Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate space (at least 10 cm / 4 inches) around the back and sides for proper ventilation.
5. It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) during the first use to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal and will dissipate.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On and Off

• Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
• The appliance will power on when the timer knob is turned from the "OFF" position.
• To turn off, rotate the timer knob back to the "OFF" position, or the appliance will automatically shut off when the timer reaches zero.

5.2 Temperature and Time Adjustment

• Temperature: Use the temperature knob to set the desired cooking temperature between 170°F (80°C) and 400°F (200°C).
• Time: Use the timer knob to set the cooking time, up to 30 minutes. The appliance will begin heating once the timer is set.

5.3 Using Preset Functions

The LATURE Air Fryer features 6 preset cooking options for common foods. These presets automatically adjust the time and temperature for optimal results.

2. Select the desired preset by rotating the temperature knob to the corresponding icon on the control panel.
3. Set the timer knob to the recommended time for the selected preset.
4. The air fryer will begin cooking.

5.4 General Cooking Guidelines

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired temperature before adding food.
• Food Placement: Do not overfill the basket. Ensure food is spread in a single layer for even cooking.
• Shaking/Flipping: For many foods, especially smaller items like fries or chicken wings, shaking or flipping the food halfway through cooking will promote even browning.
• Oil Usage: A small amount of oil (1 tablespoon or less) can be added to some foods to enhance crispiness, but it is not always necessary due to the 360° hot air circulation technology.

3. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
4. Clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid getting water into the heating element area.
