Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the air fryer oven and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport if needed. Remove any protective films or stickers from the appliance.
2. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Wash all removable accessories (grill rack, frying basket, baking tray, rotisserie spit, skewer rack, retrieval tool) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. The interior cooking chamber, made of stainless steel, can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
3. Placement
Place the air fryer oven on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.

4. First Use (Burn-in)
It is recommended to run the appliance empty for about 15-20 minutes at 200°C (390°F) before cooking food for the first time. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and odors. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this process. A slight odor or smoke may be present; this is normal.
