Cooking Process

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the air fryer basket. Do not overfill. For best results, use parchment paper liners if desired, ensuring they do not exceed the basket's edges or touch the heating element.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the basket firmly into the air fryer.
3. Power On: Press the power icon on the LED touch screen to turn on the appliance.
4. Select Program: Choose one of the 10 preset programs by tapping the corresponding icon (e.g., chicken leg for poultry, fries for potatoes). The display will show default temperature and time settings.
5. Adjust Settings (Optional): If needed, adjust the temperature (40°C to 200°C) and time using the arrow icons on the display. This can be done before or during cooking.
6. Start Cooking: Press the start/pause icon to begin the cooking process.
7. Mid-Cycle Shake/Turn: For many foods, the air fryer will emit an audible signal halfway through the cooking cycle. This indicates it's time to shake or turn the food for even cooking. Carefully remove the basket (the appliance will pause automatically), shake or turn the food, and reinsert the basket to resume.
8. Completion: Once the cooking cycle is complete, the air fryer will beep. Carefully remove the basket and transfer the cooked food.

The 360° hot air circulation system ensures faster and more uniform heating, resulting in perfectly cooked food with less fat.
