This video demonstrates the unboxing process of a Hukën x MasterChef air fryer, showing how to safely remove the appliance and its accessories from the packaging.
Placement:
Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, non-metallic surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space on all sides and above the appliance to allow for proper air circulation.
Initial Cleaning:
- Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth.
- Wash the cooking basket and crisper plate with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Ensure all parts are dry before plugging in the appliance.
First Use (Burn-Off):
During the first few uses, a slight odor may be detected. This is normal and will dissipate. To minimize this, operate the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) before cooking food.
4. Operating Instructions
Basic Operation:

The air fryer will heat up to a default temperature (e.g., 180°C) or the last set temperature. Once preheating is complete, an audible signal will sound, and you can add your food.
Turn Reminder:
During certain cooking cycles, the air fryer may emit a 'TURN' reminder to prompt you to shake or turn the food in the basket. This ensures even cooking and browning. Simply pull out the basket, shake or turn the food, and reinsert the basket to resume cooking.
