5. Operating Instructions
Before First Use
It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal and will dissipate.
General Operation
- Prepare Food: Place the ingredients you wish to air fry into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Insert Basket: Slide the frying basket back into the main unit until it clicks securely into place.
- Power On: The digital touch panel will illuminate.
- Set Time and Temperature: Use the temperature control feature to set the desired cooking temperature (e.g., 80°C to 200°C) and the timer for the required cooking duration.
- Use Preset Menus: The air fryer features a Multi PreSet Cooking Menu. Select the appropriate preset for common foods like fries, chicken, or fish. The appliance will automatically set the optimal time and temperature.
- Start Cooking: Press the start button to begin the cooking process.
- Shake Basket (Optional): For some foods, especially smaller items, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time can ensure more even results. Carefully pull out the basket, shake, and reinsert. The air fryer will resume cooking.
- Completion: The air fryer will beep when the cooking time is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a plate.
6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer.
- Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Clean Frying Basket: The non-stick coated basket is not dishwasher safe. Wash it with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn food residue, soak the basket in warm soapy water for about 10 minutes before cleaning.
- Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Clean Interior: Wipe the interior of the appliance with a damp cloth. If necessary, a soft brush can be used to remove food residue from the heating element.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing the air fryer in a cool, dry place.
