It is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before first use to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight odor may be present during this initial use; this is normal.

4.2 Basic Operation

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the fry basket, ensuring not to overfill. For best results, food should be in a single layer or shaken periodically.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the fry basket back into the air fryer until it clicks securely into place.
3. Power On: Press the Power button on the digital touch screen to turn on the appliance.
4. Set Temperature and Time: Use the temperature and time adjustment buttons (usually '+' and '-' icons) to set your desired cooking temperature (range typically 175°F-400°F) and cooking time (typically 1-60 minutes).
5. Start Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking cycle.
6. Monitor and Shake (Optional): Use the viewing window to check on your food. For even cooking, especially with smaller items, pull out the basket halfway through the cooking time, shake the contents, and then reinsert the basket to resume cooking.
7. Completion: The air fryer will beep when the cooking time is complete. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a serving plate.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air fryer.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the air fryer from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Clean Fry Basket and Crisper Plate: The nonstick fry basket and crisper plate are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, wash them with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn food residue, soak the basket in warm, soapy water for about 10 minutes before cleaning.
