4. Setup

Before first use, follow these steps to prepare your air fryer:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the air fryer.
2. Clean: Wash the glass bowl and cooking rack with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and 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, sides, and above the appliance.
4. First Use Odor: It is normal for a slight odor to be present during the first few uses. This is harmless and will dissipate. To minimize this, you can run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C before cooking food.

5. Operating Instructions

Control Panel:

The air fryer features a digital touch screen control panel for easy operation. The display shows temperature, time, and selected programs.

General Operation:

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the glass bowl, ensuring not to overfill. For best results, use the stainless steel cooking rack to elevate food and allow for proper air circulation.
2. Insert Bowl: Carefully place the glass bowl with its protective outer shell into the main unit.
3. Power On: Plug the air fryer into a grounded electrical outlet. The power button will illuminate.
4. Select Program or Manual Settings:
   • Automatic Programs: Press the menu button to cycle through the 7 pre-set cooking programs (e.g., Fries, Chicken, Fish). Each program has a default temperature and time.
   • Manual Settings: Use the temperature control buttons (usually '+' and '-') to set the desired temperature (50°C to 180°C). Use the timer control buttons to set the cooking time (up to 60 minutes).
5. Start Cooking: Press the start/pause button to begin the cooking cycle. The air fryer will start heating.
6. Monitor Cooking: The transparent glass bowl allows you to monitor the cooking progress without opening the unit.
7. Shake/Flip Food (Optional): For even cooking, especially with smaller items like fries, you may pause the cooking cycle, remove the bowl, shake or flip the food, and then reinsert the bowl to resume.
8. End of Cycle: The air fryer will automatically shut off when the timer reaches zero and emit an audible signal.
9. Remove Food: Carefully remove the glass bowl using oven mitts. Transfer the cooked food to a serving dish.
10. Cool Down: Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning or storing.

Rapid Air Technology:

The Rapid Air Technology circulates hot air at high speed around the food, ensuring even cooking and a crispy exterior with minimal oil. This process effectively "fries" food using hot air instead of oil.
