Cooking Tips

• For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Shake or flip smaller food items halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
• Lightly spray food with cooking oil for extra crispiness, especially for fresh ingredients.
• Avoid overcrowding the basket to allow hot air to circulate effectively. Cook in batches if necessary.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Dishwasher Safe Components: The glass frying basket and the 2-tier tray are dishwasher safe. For stubborn residue, soak them in warm, soapy water before washing.
3. Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. DO NOT immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
4. Heating Element: Gently clean the heating element with a non-abrasive sponge or brush if necessary, ensuring the unit is unplugged and cool.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded electrical outlet. Check if the basket is fully inserted into the main unit.
• Food not cooked evenly: Overcrowding the basket can prevent even cooking. Cook in smaller batches. Shake or flip food items halfway through cooking.
• White smoke coming from the appliance: This may indicate that fatty ingredients are cooking. Ensure the basket and tray are clean. If cooking very greasy food, drain excess fat from the bottom of the basket.
• Food not crispy: Ensure the temperature is set correctly and the basket is not overcrowded. Lightly brush or spray food with oil for a crispier texture.
