3. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the air fryer oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (e.g., baking pan, racks) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

- First Use Burn-Off: It is recommended to run the appliance empty for about 10-15 minutes at 200°C (390°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. Cooking Guide
The ONDIAN Smart Air Fryer Oven uses 360-degree hot air circulation to cook food with significantly less oil (up to 85% less fat than traditional frying). This results in crispy exteriors and tender interiors.
5.1 General Tips for Air Frying:
- Preheating: For best results, preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes before adding food, especially for items that require a crispy finish.
- Oil Usage: While "oil-free" is a key benefit, a light spray or toss with a small amount of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for certain foods.
- Do Not Overcrowd: Arrange food in a single layer to allow hot air to circulate evenly. If cooking larger quantities, cook in batches.
- Shake/Flip: For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries or nuggets, shake the basket or flip the food halfway through the cooking time.
- Using Multiple Layers: The oven's 3-layer design allows you to cook main dishes and side dishes simultaneously. Ensure proper air circulation between layers. You may need to rotate racks for even cooking.
- Check Doneness: Always use a food thermometer to ensure meats and poultry are cooked to safe internal temperatures.
5.2 Common Food Presets and Usage:
The 11 smart presets are designed for common dishes. While they provide a good starting point, you can always adjust time and temperature based on your preference and food quantity.
- Fries: Ideal for frozen or homemade fries.
- Chicken: Perfect for chicken wings, drumsticks, or even a small whole chicken (using rotisserie function if available).
- Pizza: Reheat or cook small pizzas to perfection.
- Bake: For cakes, muffins, or other baked goods.
- Toast: For bread and bagels.
- Other presets like Fish, Kebab, Broil, and Dehydrate offer specialized settings for various culinary needs.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ONDIAN Smart Air Fryer Oven. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
6.1 Cleaning the Interior:
- The interior is made of 304 food-grade stainless steel, which is easy to clean and corrosion resistant.
- Wipe the interior walls with a damp cloth and a mild dish soap solution. For stubborn food residue, a non-abrasive sponge or brush can be used.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or metal utensils, as they can damage the non-stick coating or stainless steel finish.
- Ensure the interior is completely dry before next use.
6.2 Cleaning Accessories:
- All removable accessories (e.g., baking pan, wire racks, rotisserie spit) can be washed in warm, soapy water.
- For baked-on food, soak the accessories in hot, soapy water for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or reinserting into the oven.
6.3 Cleaning the Exterior:
- Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth.
