4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the box. Ensure all components listed in the "Product Overview" section are present.
- Placement: Place the air fryer oven on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface. Ensure there is at least 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) of clear space on all sides and above the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it near flammable materials or under cabinets.
- Cleaning Before First Use: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the bake tray, crumb tray, grill rack, and crisper basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing them back into the oven.
