Setup and First Use

Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the air fryer. Ensure all parts are present: main unit, frying basket, and removable basket pad.
Cleaning: Before first use, clean the frying basket and removable basket pad with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space on the back, sides, and above the appliance.
Preheating (Initial Run): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10 minutes at 180℃ (356℉) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight odor may be present, which is normal and will dissipate.
Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The appliance is now ready for use.

Basic Operation

Prepare Food: Place your ingredients 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 into place.
Power On: Press the power icon on the touch screen to turn on the appliance.
Select Program or Manual Settings:
- Preset Programs: Choose one of the 8 preset icons (e.g., fries, chicken, fish) for automatic time and temperature settings.
- Manual Settings: Use the temperature control buttons (usually + and - icons) to set the desired temperature (80-200℃) and the timer buttons to set the cooking time (0-60 minutes).
Start Cooking: Press the start/pause icon to begin the cooking process. The air fryer will automatically preheat and then start cooking.
Shaking/Flipping (Optional): For some foods, especially fries or smaller items, it is recommended to shake or flip the food halfway through the cooking time. The air fryer will pause when the basket is pulled out and resume when it is reinserted.
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 using tongs.

Cooking Tips

For crispy results, lightly brush or spray food with oil.
Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
Do not prepare overly greasy ingredients, such as sausages, in the air fryer as the fat will melt and drip into the drawer.
You can also use the air fryer to reheat leftovers.
