4. Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
- Cleaning: Before first use, clean the frying basket and any removable parts with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the back and sides of the appliance for adequate air circulation.
- Initial Run: It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10 minutes at 200°C (390°F) during its first use. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
5. Operating Instructions
- Prepare Food: Place the food you wish to cook into the non-stick frying basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure there is enough space for air to circulate.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks securely into place.
- Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired cooking temperature (80-200°C).
- Set Timer: Turn the timer control dial to the desired cooking time (up to 30 minutes). The air fryer will automatically start heating. The power and heating indicator lights will illuminate.
- Cooking Process: During cooking, the heating indicator light may cycle on and off as the air fryer maintains the set temperature.
- Shaking Basket (Optional): For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries, pull out the basket halfway through the cooking time and gently shake its contents. Then, slide the basket back in. The air fryer will resume cooking.
- Completion: When the timer reaches zero, a bell will sound, and the air fryer will automatically shut off. The indicator lights will turn off.
- Remove Food: Carefully pull out the frying basket using the cool-touch handle. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface. Use tongs to remove the cooked food.
- Cool Down: Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning or storing.
