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, wash the cooking baskets and crisper plates with hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clear space around the back and sides of the appliance for proper air circulation. Do not place it directly under cabinets or near flammable materials.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of your appliance.
5. First Use (Burn-in): It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight odor may be present during this process; this is normal.
