Setup

Before First Use:

1. Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
2. Clean the frying basket and crisper plate thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.

4. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal, and level surface. Do not place the appliance on non-heat-resistant surfaces.
5. Ensure there is adequate air circulation around the appliance (at least 10 cm clearance on all sides).

Initial Burn-in (Optional but Recommended):

To eliminate any manufacturing odors, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes before cooking food.

• Plug in the air fryer.
• Set the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and the timer to 15 minutes.
• Allow it to run. A slight odor may be present, which is normal.
• After the cycle, unplug and let it cool down completely.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

1. Place the crisper plate inside the frying basket.
2. Place the food into the frying basket. Do not overfill the basket.
3. Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer until it clicks into place.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
5. Press the Power ON/OFF button to turn on the appliance. The display will light up.
6. Using Preset Programs: Press the "Preset" button repeatedly to cycle through the pre-programmed cooking options (e.g., fries, chicken, fish, cake). Once a preset is selected, the default time and temperature will be displayed. You can adjust these settings using the Time and Temperature control buttons if needed.
7. Manual Operation: Alternatively, manually set the desired temperature using the Temperature control buttons (+/-) and the cooking time using the Time control buttons (+/-).
8. Press the Power ON/OFF button again to start the cooking process. The fan and heating element will activate.
9. During cooking, some foods may require shaking or turning for even results. The air fryer may emit an audible "Shake" reminder. Carefully pull out the basket, shake or turn the food, and then reinsert the basket. The cooking will resume automatically.
10. When the cooking time is complete, the air fryer will beep, and the heating element will turn off. The fan may continue to run for a short period to cool down the appliance.
11. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a plate. Use tongs or heat-resistant utensils.
12. Unplug the appliance after use.

Pre-programmed Settings:

The air fryer comes with several convenient pre-programmed settings for common dishes. These settings are a starting point and may need adjustment based on food quantity and desired crispiness.

Cooking Tips

• For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding food.
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger ingredients.
• A small amount of oil can be added to fresh potatoes for a crispier result.
• Do not cook extremely greasy ingredients in the air fryer.
• Oven snacks can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• Use a baking tin or oven dish if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.

  The air fryer is ideal for reheating food. To reheat food, set the temperature to 150°C (300°F) for 10 minutes.
