3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the appliance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (Crumb Tray, Baking Tray, Wire Rack, Bake Pan Handle) with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

4. Operating Instructions

Your Air Fryer Oven offers multiple cooking functions. Always preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes before placing food inside, unless specified otherwise by a recipe.

4.1 Air Fry Function

The Air Fry function uses circulating hot air to cook food with minimal oil, achieving a crispy texture similar to deep-frying.

1. Place food in the Air Fry basket (Wire Rack can also be used).
2. Insert the basket into the desired rack position.
3. Turn the Function Knob to the Air Fryer icon (fan symbol).
4. Set the Temperature Knob to the recommended temperature for your food (typically 180-200°C).
5. Set the Timer Knob for the desired cooking duration. The oven will automatically shut off when the timer expires.
6. Shake or flip food halfway through cooking for even crisping.
