Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels from the appliance.
2. Clean: Wash the basket and crisper plate thoroughly with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to allow for proper air circulation. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of free space on the back and sides, and 10 cm (4 inches) above the appliance.
4. Pre-heating (Optional but Recommended): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 200°C (390°F) to burn off any manufacturing residues. A slight odor may be present, which is normal.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
2. Carefully pull the basket out of the air fryer.
3. Place the crisper plate inside the basket.
4. Place the ingredients into the basket. Do not overfill the basket.
5. Slide the basket back into the air fryer.
6. Press the ON/OFF button to power on the unit.
7. Manual Setting: Use the Temp and Timer buttons to set your desired cooking temperature and time.
8. Preset Modes: Alternatively, select one of the 8 preset cooking modes by tapping the corresponding icon on the touch screen. The air fryer will automatically set the optimal time and temperature for that food type.

9. Press the ON/OFF button again to start the cooking process.
10. Some ingredients require shaking halfway through the preparation time. To do this, pull the basket out of the appliance by the handle and gently shake it. Then slide the basket back into the air fryer. The air fryer will resume cooking automatically.
11. When the cooking time has elapsed, the air fryer will beep. Carefully pull the basket out and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
12. Check if the food is cooked. If not, slide the basket back in and set the timer for a few extra minutes.
13. Empty the basket contents into a serving dish. Use tongs to remove large or delicate items.
14. Unplug the appliance after use.

Tips for Best Results:

• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter preparation time than larger ingredients.
• A larger amount of ingredients only requires a slightly longer preparation time.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the preparation time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you've added the oil.
• You can also use the air fryer to reheat dishes.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean the appliance after every use.

1. Unplug the air fryer and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Clean the basket and crisper plate with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, soak the basket in hot water for about 10 minutes. The basket and crisper plate are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to prolong their lifespan.
4. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
5. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residues.
6. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before storing.
