It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

• Power Button: To turn the appliance on/off.
