4. Setup
Before using your air fryer for the first time, follow these steps:
- Unpack: Remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the appliance.
- Clean: Wash the fry basket and the non-stick coated fry basket thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry completely. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space at the back and sides, and 10 cm above the appliance to allow for proper air circulation.
- Initial Run (Optional but Recommended): To eliminate any manufacturing odors, plug in the air fryer and run it empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F). A slight odor may be present, which is normal. Allow the appliance to cool down completely afterward.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Pre-heating
- Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
- Pull out the fry basket from the appliance.
- Press the power button on the digital control panel to turn on the air fryer.
- Set the desired temperature using the temperature control buttons (usually '+' and '-').
- Set the desired pre-heating time (typically 3-5 minutes) using the timer control buttons.
- Press the start button to begin pre-heating. The display will show the set temperature and remaining time.
5.2. Cooking
- Once pre-heating is complete (or if not pre-heating), carefully place your ingredients into the fry basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure air can circulate.
- Slide the fry basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
- Set the desired cooking temperature and time using the digital control panel. The air fryer features a 60-minute timer.
- Press the start button to begin cooking.
- For even cooking, some foods may require shaking the basket halfway through the cooking process. To do this, carefully pull out the basket, shake it gently, and then reinsert it. The air fryer will automatically pause and resume cooking once the basket is reinserted.
- When the cooking time is complete, the air fryer will beep, and the heating element will turn off.
