- Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the unit.
- First Use (Burn-in): It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation during this process.
