2. Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the handle to lift or move the glass bowl. Never touch the glass directly with bare hands after cooking.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance housing in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• The cooling fan will continue to run for approximately 1 minute after cooking stops. This is normal and helps protect internal components.

3. Product Components

Familiarize yourself with the parts of your ASTRALSHIP Air Fryer & Grill Combo:

The appliance consists of the main unit, a glass air fry basket with handle, a flat grill frame, cup pads, a grill pan, and a glass cover. The main unit houses the heating element and control panel.

4. Setup

Before first use, unpack all components and remove any packaging materials. Clean the glass bowl, grill rack, grill pan, and glass lid with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.

Place the appliance on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not place it directly against a wall or under cabinets during operation.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Power On/Off

Plug the appliance into a standard 120V electrical outlet. The digital display will illuminate. Press the power button to turn the unit on or off.

5.2. Air Fryer Mode

To use the air fryer function, ensure the main unit is positioned with the heating element facing downwards, ready to accommodate the glass air fry basket.

Insert the grill rack into the glass air fry basket. Place your food on the grill rack. The transparent glass bowl allows you to monitor cooking progress in real-time without opening the lid.

Use the digital control panel to select from 7 one-touch presets (Fries, Chicken, Wings, Steak, Shrimp, Fish, Bake/Dry) or manually adjust the temperature (105-400°F) and time (1-60 minutes).

For best results with frozen fries, place them directly into the fryer and use the “French Fries” preset. Do not overcrowd the container for even cooking. When using other presets, always thaw raw meat completely before cooking and consider seasoning to taste.

To ensure even cooking, it is recommended to flip your food halfway through. Press the Pause button before pulling out the handle. Use tongs or heat-resistant tools to flip the food safely and avoid burns.

5.3. Grill Mode

To switch to grill mode, unlock the main unit and flip it 180 degrees so the heating element faces upwards. Place the grill pan onto the unit.

The grill function operates at temperatures ranging from 300-430°F. Note that the appliance is designed to operate one mode at a time; you cannot use both air fryer and griddle functions simultaneously.

6. Cooking Guide

The following table provides recommended cooking times and temperatures for various foods. These are guidelines and may need adjustment based on food quantity, thickness, and desired crispiness.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your appliance. Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

7.1. Cleaning the Glass Bowl, Grill Rack, and Lid

The glass bowl, grill rack, and lid plate are dishwasher safe. For manual cleaning, wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling or storing.

7.2. Cleaning the Grill Pan

The grill pan features a non-toxic, PFOA-free nonstick coating, making it easy to clean. It is also dishwasher safe. For stubborn food residue, lightly coat the cooking surfaces with a small amount of oil before cooking to prevent sticking. Clean thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup.

7.3. Cleaning the Main Unit

Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid. Ensure all parts are dry before plugging the appliance back in.
