Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any protective films or stickers.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (drip tray, baskets, racks, rotisserie fork) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is adequate space (at least 10 cm) around the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the voltage indicated on the appliance matches your local power supply before plugging in. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
5. First Use (Burn-in): It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; this is normal. Ensure good ventilation.

Cooking Guide and Tips

• Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired cooking temperature before adding food.
• Oil Usage: While air frying requires little to no oil, a light spray of oil can help achieve a crispier texture and enhance flavor, especially for fresh ingredients.
• Do Not Overfill: Avoid overcrowding the basket or rack. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Shake/Flip: For smaller items like fries or nuggets, shake the basket or flip items halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
• Temperature and Time: Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on food quantity, density, and desired crispiness. Adjust as needed.
• Rotisserie Cooking: Ensure the rotisserie fork is securely inserted into the food and properly mounted in the air fryer.
