Before First Use

  3. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
  4. Ensure all parts are completely dry before use.
  5. Place the air fryer on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to allow for proper air circulation.

Setup

  1. Place the frying tray into the frying basket.
  2. Slide the assembled frying basket back into the main unit until it clicks securely into place.
  3. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet. The power indicator light will illuminate.

Operating Instructions

Cooking Process:

  1. Carefully pull the frying basket out of the air fryer.
  2. Place your ingredients into the frying basket. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
  3. Slide the frying basket back into the air fryer. Ensure it is fully closed.
  4. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to your desired temperature (80 – 200°C).
  5. Turn the Timer Control Knob to your desired cooking time (up to 60 minutes). The air fryer will start heating, and the heating indicator light will turn on.
  6. During the cooking process, you may pull out the basket to shake or turn ingredients for even cooking. The air fryer will pause automatically when the basket is removed and resume when re-inserted.
  7. When the set cooking time has elapsed, the timer will ring, and the air fryer will automatically shut off.
  8. Carefully pull out the basket and transfer the cooked food to a plate. Use tongs for hot food.
  9. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet after use.

Tips for Best Results:

  • For smaller ingredients, a shorter cooking time is generally required.
  • Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cooking time optimizes the end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
  • Add a little oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.
  • Do not cook extremely greasy ingredients like sausages in the air fryer.

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 frying basket and tray with hot water, a mild dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. The non-stick coating is durable, but avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning materials.
  4. For stubborn food residue, soak the basket and tray in hot water with some dishwashing liquid for approximately 10 minutes.
  5. Clean the inside of the appliance with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge.
  6. Clean the heating element with a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.
  7. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing or next use.
