Setup and First Use

Unpacking

1. Carefully remove the airfryer and all packaging materials from the box.
2. Remove any stickers or labels from the appliance.
3. Clean the air frying basket and crisper plate with hot water, a mild dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
4. Wipe the inside and outside of the main unit with a damp cloth.

Placement

• Place the airfryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure there is at least 10 cm of clear space around the back and sides, and above the appliance, for adequate air circulation.
• Do not place the appliance near flammable materials or heat sources.

Initial Operation (Burn-off)

During the first few uses, a slight odor may be emitted. This is normal and will dissipate. To minimize this, you can run the airfryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C before cooking food.

Operating Instructions

Preparing for Cooking

1. Place the crisper plate inside the air frying basket.
2. Place the ingredients into the air frying basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking.
3. Slide the air frying basket back into the main unit until it clicks securely into place.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.

Setting Temperature and Time

1. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to your desired cooking temperature (up to 200°C).
2. Turn the Timer Control Dial to the required cooking time (up to 60 minutes). The airfryer will start heating immediately.
3. During cooking, the indicator light will illuminate.
4. For some recipes, it may be necessary to shake the ingredients halfway through the cooking time. To do this, pull the basket out by the handle, shake the contents, and then slide the basket back in. The airfryer will resume cooking.
5. When the set cooking time has elapsed, the timer will ring, and the airfryer will automatically shut off.

Removing Cooked Food

1. Carefully pull the air frying basket out of the appliance by the handle.
2. Place the basket on a heat-resistant surface.
3. Use tongs to remove the cooked food from the basket. Avoid tipping the basket directly, as excess oil may collect at the bottom.
4. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down before cleaning.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Defy Airfryer.

Before Cleaning

• Always unplug the airfryer and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.

Cleaning the Basket and Crisper Plate

• The air frying basket and crisper plate have a non-stick coating and are dishwasher-safe.
• Alternatively, wash them in hot water with a mild dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the basket and plate in hot water for about 10 minutes before cleaning.

Cleaning the Main Unit
