4. Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
- Clean: Wash the removable basket and fry tray with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space on the back and sides, and 10 cm (4 inches) above the appliance to allow for proper air circulation. Do not place it against a wall or other appliances.
- Initial Run (Optional): 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 smell or smoke may occur, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation during this process.

- Prepare Food: Place the food you wish to air fry into the basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Insert Basket: Slide the basket back into the air fryer until it clicks securely into place.
- Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control knob to your desired cooking temperature (e.g., 180°C for most items). The temperature range is typically from 80°C to 200°C.
- Set Time: Turn the timer control knob to the required cooking time. The air fryer will automatically start once the timer is set.
- Cooking Process: The appliance will begin heating and circulating hot air. The dual fan technology ensures consistent and efficient heat distribution.
- Shake Basket (Optional): For some foods, especially smaller items like fries, it is recommended to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.

- Finish Cooking: When the timer reaches zero, the air fryer will emit an audible signal and automatically shut off.
