4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer and all packaging materials. Keep packaging for future storage or disposal.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the frying basket and pan with warm soapy water. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space around the back and sides of the appliance to allow for proper air circulation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. First Use (Burn-off): 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 odors. A slight odor or smoke may be present during this process; this is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

5. Operating Instructions

The JOCCA Air Fryer features an intuitive digital touch screen for easy operation.

1. Power On: Plug the air fryer into a grounded electrical outlet. The power button will illuminate. Press the power button to turn on the display.
2. Loading Food: Pull out the frying basket by its handle. Place your ingredients into the basket. Do not overfill the basket; ensure there is enough space for air to circulate. Slide the basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
3. Manual Settings:
   • Use the temperature control buttons (+ and -) to set the desired cooking temperature (from 80°C to 200°C).
   • Use the timer control buttons (+ and -) to set the desired cooking time (from 1 to 60 minutes).
   • Press the power button again to start cooking.
4. Using Preset Programs: The air fryer comes with 12 preset programs for common dishes. Press the 'M' (Mode) button repeatedly to cycle through the preset options. Once a preset is selected, the air fryer will automatically set the optimal time and temperature. Press the power button to start the selected program.
5. During Cooking: For even cooking, especially for larger quantities or certain foods, it is recommended to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time. Pull out the basket, shake it gently, and then slide it back in. The air fryer will pause automatically and resume once the basket is reinserted.
6. 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.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your air fryer.

1. Always Unplug: Before cleaning, always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely.
2. Cleaning the Basket and Pan: The frying basket and pan are removable and feature a non-stick coating. Wash them with warm water, a mild dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials, as they can damage the non-stick coating. These parts are not dishwasher safe.
3. Cleaning the Interior: Wipe the interior of the air fryer with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn food residue, use a mild detergent. Ensure the interior is dry before next use.
