Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the air fryer.
2. Clean: Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth. Wash the cooking basket and any removable accessories with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the back and sides of the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets.
4. Initial Run (Burn-off): Before cooking food, it is recommended to run the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) without any food inside. This helps to burn off any manufacturing residues and eliminate initial odors. A slight odor may be present during this process; this is normal.
5. Cool Down: After the initial run, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning it again.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the cooking basket. For best results, do not overfill the basket.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the cooking basket firmly back into the main unit until it clicks into place.
3. Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The LED display will illuminate.
4. Select Program or Manual Settings:

   • Manual Settings: Use the temperature and time adjustment buttons (+ / -) to set your desired cooking temperature (60-200°C) and time (up to 2 hours).
5. Start Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking process. The internal light can be turned on/off to view progress through the window.
6. Shake/Flip (Optional): For even cooking, some recipes may require shaking or flipping ingredients halfway through. The air fryer may beep to remind you. Carefully pull out the basket, shake or flip, and reinsert. The cooking will resume automatically.
7. End of Cooking: The air fryer will beep when the cooking time is complete and automatically shut off.
8. Remove Food: Carefully pull out the basket using the cool-touch handle. Use tongs or a spatula to remove the cooked food. Avoid tipping the basket directly to prevent oil/grease from dripping onto the food.

Automatic Programs:

Note: Default settings are a guide. Adjust time and temperature based on food quantity, thickness, and desired crispiness.
