Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the cooking basket and pan with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit 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 adequate air circulation around the appliance, with at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space on all sides, especially around the air outlet vent at the back. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the cooking basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the cooking basket back into the main unit until it clicks securely into place.
3. Power On: Press the Power button on the digital control panel. The display will illuminate.
4. Set Temperature and Time:
   • Use the temperature up/down arrows to set the desired cooking temperature.
   • Use the time up/down arrows to set the desired cooking time (up to 60 minutes).
5. Use Presets (Optional): Alternatively, select one of the preset icons for common foods. The air fryer will automatically set the recommended time and temperature for that food type. You can adjust these settings manually if needed.
6. Start Cooking: Press the Power button again to start the cooking process. The fan and heating element will activate.
7. Shake Basket (Mid-Cycle): For many recipes, especially fries or smaller items, it is recommended to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Pull out the basket by its handle (the air fryer will pause automatically), shake the contents, and then reinsert the basket. Cooking will resume.
8. Cooking Completion: The air fryer will beep when the cooking time is complete and automatically shut off.
9. Remove Food: Carefully pull out the cooking basket using the handle. Use heat-resistant tongs to remove the cooked food. Avoid tipping the basket directly as excess oil may collect at the bottom.
10. Power Off: Press and hold the Power button to turn off the appliance completely. Unplug the air fryer from the wall outlet after use.

Preheating:

For best results, especially with certain foods, preheating the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired cooking temperature is recommended. Simply set the temperature and time (e.g., 5 minutes), start the cycle, and then add your food once the preheating is complete.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help maintain the performance and longevity of your air fryer.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Cooking Basket and Pan:
   • The cooking basket and pan have a non-stick coating. Clean them with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
   • For stubborn food residue, soak the basket and pan in hot water with dish soap for about 10 minutes before cleaning.
   • Note: The cooking basket and pan are NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.
3. Clean Interior: Wipe the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent. Ensure no water enters the heating element area.
4. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may damage the surface.
5. Heating Element: If necessary, gently clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food residue.
