Before First Use

1. Unpack the air fryer and all its components from the box.
2. Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels.
3. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
4. Wash the air fryer baskets and any removable accessories with hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
5. Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, ensuring adequate clearance (at least 10 cm) on all sides for proper ventilation.
6. It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes on a high temperature (e.g., 180°C) during its first use to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present, which is normal and will dissipate.
7. Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning it again.

2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50/60Hz). The display will illuminate briefly.
3. Insert the clean and dry air fryer baskets firmly into their respective slots in the main unit. Ensure they click into place.

8. End of Cycle: The air fryer will beep several times when the cooking time is complete and automatically shut off.

Using Preset Programs

The Milex Air Fryer comes with 6 preset cooking programs for common foods:

1. Select the desired basket (1 or 2).
2. Tap the "Mode" or "Preset" button to cycle through the available programs (e.g., Fries, Chicken, Fish, Steak, Bake, Dehydrate).
3. Once a preset is selected, the air fryer will automatically set the optimal temperature and time. You can manually adjust these settings if desired.
4. Press the Start/Pause button to begin.

Dual Zone Cooking (Match & Sync Functions)

The dual basket design allows for versatile cooking:

• Match Cook: If you want both baskets to cook at the same temperature and time, select the "Match" function. Set the desired temperature and time for one basket, then press "Match" to apply these settings to the other basket.
• Sync Finish: This feature ensures both baskets finish cooking at the same time, even if they start with different foods requiring different cooking times and temperatures. Set the desired temperature and time for each basket independently. Then, press the "Sync" button. The air fryer will automatically adjust the start times of each basket so they conclude simultaneously.
