Before First Use

3. Insert the accessories into the air fryer.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

1. Power On: Plug the appliance into a power outlet. The digital display will illuminate.
2. Preheating: For best results, preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at the desired cooking temperature before adding food.
3. Loading Food: Place food into the appropriate accessory (Air Fry Basket, Baking Pan, or on the Wire Rack). Do not overfill to allow for proper air circulation.
4. Setting Temperature and Time:
   • Use the temperature control buttons (usually +/- or a dedicated dial) to set the desired cooking temperature. The range is typically from 80°C to 200°C (175°F to 390°F).
   • Use the timer control buttons to set the cooking duration. The timer can usually be set from 1 to 60 minutes.
5. Starting Cooking: Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cooking cycle.
6. Shaking/Flipping Food: For even cooking, especially with smaller items in the air fry basket, it is recommended to shake or flip the food halfway through the cooking time.
7. Monitoring: The transparent door allows you to monitor cooking progress without opening the door, maintaining consistent temperature.
8. End of Cycle: The air fryer will beep when the cooking time is complete. Carefully remove the cooked food using heat-resistant tongs or mitts.
9. Power Off: Unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.

Cooking Tips

• Oil Usage: While air frying requires little to no oil, a light spray or toss with a teaspoon of oil can enhance crispiness and flavor for some foods.
• Batch Cooking: For larger quantities, cook in smaller batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
• Frozen Foods: Most frozen foods can be cooked directly in the air fryer. Refer to package instructions for recommended temperatures and times, adjusting as needed.
• Homemade Fries: For crispy homemade fries, soak potato sticks in cold water for 30 minutes, pat dry, toss with a small amount of oil, and air fry.
• Recipe Adjustments: Air fryers often cook faster than conventional ovens. Start with slightly lower temperatures and shorter times, then adjust as you become familiar with your appliance.
