Operating Instructions
1. Preparing for Cooking
- Place the frying pan into the main unit.
- Insert the frying basket into the frying pan.

2. Setting Time and Temperature

Safety Precautions During Operation:
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and oven mitts.
- Do not block the air inlet or outlet openings.
- Never immerse the main unit in water or rinse it under the tap.
- Do not fill the pan with oil or other liquids, as this may cause a fire hazard.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning after each use will extend the life of your air fryer.
- Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
