Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials. Keep packaging for future storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Remove the cooking basket and wash it thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. The basket has a non-stick coating.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the back and sides of the appliance to allow for proper air circulation. Do not place it directly under cabinets.

5. Initial Run (Optional but Recommended): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight odor may be present, which is normal and will dissipate.

Basic Operation

1. Power On: Plug in the appliance. The power button will illuminate. Touch the power button to turn on the display.
2. Placing Food: Pull out the cooking basket using the cool-touch handle. Place your food inside the basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.

Special Functions

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your air fryer.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Cleaning the Basket: The cooking basket has a non-stick coating. Wash it with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak the basket in warm water for about 10 minutes before cleaning. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials as they can damage the non-stick coating.
3. Cleaning the Interior: Wipe the interior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild detergent. Ensure no water enters the electrical components.
