Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the air fryer and its accessories.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the cooking basket and any removable accessories with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth.
- 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 15 cm (6 inches) of space around the back and sides, and above the unit.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The air fryer is now ready for use.
Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer before adding food. Select your desired temperature and time, then press the preheat button (if available) or allow it to run empty for 3-5 minutes.
- Loading Food: Place food into the cooking basket. Do not overfill the basket to ensure even cooking. For dual zone cooking, use the divider.
- Setting Time and Temperature: Use the control panel to select a cooking function, adjust the temperature (35°C-240°C), and set the cooking time (1 minute - 48 hours).
- Starting Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking cycle.
- Checking Food: You can pull out the basket at any time to check or shake the food. The air fryer will pause automatically and resume when the basket is reinserted.
- Completion: The air fryer will beep when the cooking cycle is complete. Carefully remove the basket and transfer food to a serving dish.
Dual Blaze Technology
The Dual Blaze technology utilizes four heating elements (two on top and two on the bottom) to provide uniform heat distribution. This eliminates the need to manually flip food during cooking, ensuring consistent browning and crispiness on all sides.

Flexible Capacity: Single or Dual Zone
The 8.6L basket can be used as a single large cooking zone for items like a whole chicken or large batches of food. Alternatively, insert the divider to create two separate zones, allowing you to cook different foods simultaneously.

SYNC & MATCH Modes
The air fryer includes SYNC and MATCH modes for convenient multi-dish cooking:
- SYNC Mode: Cook two different recipes with different settings (temperature and time) in each zone, ensuring both finish cooking at the same time.
- MATCH Mode: Cook two portions of the same food with identical settings in both zones.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air fryer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; unit not properly assembled. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the basket is fully inserted. |
| Food is not cooked evenly. | Basket is overcrowded; incorrect temperature/time settings. | Do not overcrowd the basket. Ensure food is in a single layer. Adjust temperature or cooking time as needed. The Dual Blaze technology minimizes this issue. |
