Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the air fryer.
2. Clean: Before first use, clean the frying basket and pan with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before use.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space on the back and sides, and above the appliance, to allow for proper air circulation.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place the food you wish to cook into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure there is enough space for air to circulate. The maximum capacity is 6 liters.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
3. Power On: Plug the air fryer into a power outlet. The LCD touch control panel will illuminate.
4. Set Temperature and Time: Use the touch controls to adjust the desired cooking temperature (typically between 80°C and 200°C) and cooking time. The air fryer has a powerful 2400W heating element for efficient cooking.
5. Start Cooking: Press the start button to begin the cooking process. The air fryer will automatically preheat if necessary.
6. Shake/Turn Food: For even cooking, especially with items like fries or chicken pieces, pull out the basket halfway through the cooking time and gently shake or turn the food. Then, slide the basket back in. The air fryer will resume cooking automatically.
7. Finish Cooking: Once the set time has elapsed, the air fryer will beep and automatically shut off. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a plate using tongs.

Tips for Best Results:

• For crispier results, lightly brush or spray food with a small amount of oil.
• Smaller food items usually require a shorter cooking time than larger ones.
• Preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes can improve cooking results for some foods.

Maintenance and Cleaning

CAUTION: Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

• Frying Basket and Pan: These parts are designed for easy cleaning. Hand wash them with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes before cleaning.
• Interior: Wipe the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
