Plug and Cord Instructions
Polarized Plug Instructions
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) for reduced shock risk. It fits into a polarized outlet in only one way. If it doesn't fit, reverse it. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power supply cord reduces entanglement and tripping hazards. Extension cords may be used with care:
- The extension cord's electrical rating should be at least that of the appliance. A low rating could cause overheating or fire.
- Arrange the extended cord so it does not drape over countertops or tables where children could pull it or people could trip over it.
Before First Use
- Unpack the appliance and accessories (food basket, trivet). Wash accessories in hot, soapy water, then dry. Wipe the interior cavity with a damp cloth or sponge, then dry with a paper towel. Ensure the cavity is completely dry before operation.
- Position the air fryer on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface, at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from surrounding objects.
- It is recommended to preheat the air fryer for about 20 minutes without food to eliminate manufacturing grease and the "new" appliance smell.
- Ventilate the room during this period. Initial heating may produce slight smoke or odor, which is normal for heating appliances and does not affect safety.
Caution: When moving the air fryer, hold it securely by the base – do not rely on the basket handle.
Operating Instructions
Preparing for Use
- Ensure the trivet is securely placed inside the basket. Use the trivet handle to insert or remove it easily.
- Plug the power cord into a wall socket. The air fryer will beep, and the [On/Off Button] will light up, indicating it's ready.
Caution!
- Do not fill the food basket with oil or any other liquid, as this may cause a fire hazard.
- Never use the air fryer without the basket and trivet in place.
- Keep ingredients within the basket to prevent contact with heating elements. Do not overfill the basket.
- Do not cover the air inlet (top) or outlet (back) while the appliance is in use.
