Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions before operating the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
• A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
• Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other than metal or glass.
• Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
• Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic, or any materials not specifically designed for oven use.
• Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
• This appliance is for household use only.
• The appliance is hot when in use. Always use oven mitts when handling hot materials and allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or shipping.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe down the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth. Wash all accessories (crumb tray, air rack, air frying basket, rotisserie spit, baking tray, handles) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer oven on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance (at least 6 inches) on all sides and above the unit for proper ventilation. Do not place the unit directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is not damaged. Plug the polarized plug into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the oven empty for about 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C) before cooking food. This will help burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. A slight odor or smoke is normal during this process. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Operating Instructions

Control Panel Overview:

• Digital Display: Shows temperature, time, and selected preset.
• Temperature Controls: Adjust cooking temperature.
• Time Controls: Adjust cooking time.

• Smart Probe Port: Connect the smart food probe for precise temperature monitoring.

Basic Operation:

1. Power On: Plug in the appliance. The display will illuminate.
2. Select Function: Choose a preset function by pressing the corresponding button (e.g., "Air Fry"). The default time and temperature for that preset will appear.
3. Adjust Settings (Optional): If desired, adjust the time and temperature using the dedicated +/- buttons.
4. Start Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking cycle.

Using the Dual-Speed Fan:

The dual-speed fan offers flexibility for various cooking methods:

• Turbo MAXX (Fast Fan): Ideal for air frying, roasting, and achieving crispy results. This mode circulates hot air rapidly for quick and even cooking.
• Convection Baking (Slow Fan): Best for delicate baking, such as cakes and cookies, where a gentler, more even heat distribution is desired to prevent drying out.

Press the fan speed button to toggle between the two modes as needed for your recipe.
