Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the air fryer and its accessories.
2. Clean: Wipe the exterior of the air fryer with a damp cloth. Wash the non-stick frying basket and the silicon basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

4. First Run (Optional but Recommended): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
5. Insert Silicon Basket: Place the silicon basket inside the non-stick frying basket before adding food. This enhances non-stick properties and simplifies cleaning.
