5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Before First Use

It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 200°C (390°F) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during this process.

5.2 General Operation

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to allow for proper air circulation.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks securely into place.
3. Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The digital display will illuminate.
4. Set Temperature and Time:
   • Press the Power button to activate the display.
   • Use the temperature control buttons (usually '+' and '-') to set the desired cooking temperature between 80°C and 200°C.
   • Use the timer control buttons (usually '+' and '-') to set the desired cooking time, up to 30 minutes.
5. Start Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button (often the Power button again) to begin the cooking process. The fan and heating element will activate.
6. Shake Basket (Optional): For even cooking, some recipes require shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. Carefully pull out the basket, shake the contents, and reinsert it. The air fryer will automatically resume cooking.
7. Cooking Complete: The air fryer will beep when the set cooking time has elapsed. The heating element will turn off, and the fan may continue to run for a short period to cool down the appliance.
8. Remove Food: Carefully pull out the frying basket by its cool-touch handle. Use tongs to remove the cooked food from the basket.
9. Power Off: Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet after use.
