4. Setup

Before first use, ensure all packaging materials are removed and the appliance is clean.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the air fryer and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Clean: Wash all removable parts (air frying trays, drip tray, baskets, rotisserie accessories) with warm, soapy water. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clear space around the back and sides of the unit for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. First Use (Burn-in): It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor may be present during this process, which is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
