Safety Precautions

Read all instructions and safety warnings before operating the appliance. Failure to comply may result in personal injury or property damage.

• Electrical Safety: Ensure your home voltage matches the appliance's. Use a grounded plug. Do not use adapters or extension cords.
• Fire Safety: Remove all packaging and temporary labels before use. Keep away from flammable materials like curtains. Do not cover the appliance during operation. Do not place sealed containers inside.
• Operational Safety: Use on a flat, insulated surface. Maintain at least 10cm (4 inches) clearance from walls and cabinets for ventilation. Avoid contact with hot surfaces. Unplug by pulling the plug, not the cord. Do not move the appliance when hot liquids are inside. Keep out of reach of children and supervise elderly or disabled users. Use only for intended cooking purposes.
• Water Hazard: Do not immerse the appliance body or plug in water.
• High Temperature Warning: Accessible parts can become hot during use. Keep children away. The exterior surface will remain hot for some time after operation.

Getting Started: First Use

Before using the Proscenic T31 Air Fryer Oven for the first time:

1. Check that your home's voltage matches the appliance's.
2. Remove all packaging and temporary labels from the air fryer oven.
3. It is recommended to use insulated gloves when removing hot food.
4. Initial Run: Connect the power supply. Select a recipe, set the maximum temperature, and a cooking time of over 15 minutes. Close the oven door and start the empty cooking program. This helps to expel any residual oily smoke from the heating elements. A strange odor or oily smoke during the first use is normal due to the protective coating.

Setup Steps:

1. Plug in the power supply, ensuring at least 10cm (4 inches) clearance from surrounding walls or furniture.
2. Place food in the baking tray or other accessories. Select the appropriate rack position for your food, place it inside the oven, and close the door securely.
3. Referencing the control panel, select a recipe. You can also manually adjust the time and temperature according to your preferences. Press the start button to begin cooking.
4. After cooking, carefully remove the food. Turn off the oven after removing the food.

Shaking Food & Cooking Guide

Shaking Food

Certain foods, especially smaller, stacked items like fries or chicken pieces, benefit from shaking or turning halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness and browning.

• The "SHAKE" reminder icon will flash to prompt you.
• If you do not open the door, the reminder will sound again after 1 minute.
• Opening the door to shake the food will stop the reminder.

Cooking Guide

• Overfilling: Avoid overfilling the oven, as this leads to uneven cooking.
• Oil Usage: Use a small amount of cooking oil (up to 30ml) to enhance food crispiness. Spread it evenly.
• Frying Tips:
• The oven can cook frozen foods and other items suitable for baking.
• For pastries or pies, place ingredients in a heat-resistant container on the baking tray.
• Fat from high-fat foods will drip to the bottom. Use the protective tray to catch it and prevent excessive smoke. Pour out collected oil after frying.
• For pickled foods, remove excess water before frying to prevent splattering and smoke.

French Fries Preparation

1. Apply 8-15ml of oil for better crispiness.
2. For raw potatoes, soak them in water for 15 minutes to remove starch, then dry thoroughly with a towel.
3. Cut raw potatoes into thinner strips (approx. 0.6x7.6 cm) for crispier results.

Meat Internal Temperatures

Use a meat thermometer to ensure meat reaches safe internal temperatures. The following table provides guidance:

For more recipes and tips, refer to the Proscenic website or the Proscenic APP.
