Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
2. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds to that stated on the appliance.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. To protect against electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquid.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. As a rule, this appliance is not intended to be used by children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
9. Not for outdoor use.
10. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Do not touch hot surfaces.

12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
13. To disconnect, switch the unit OFF by pressing and holding the POWER button for 3 seconds and then unplugging the cable from the outlet.
14. Do not use the appliance for anything other than intended use.
15. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the air fryer as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
16. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
17. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.

24. The air fryer can be turned off while using any of the functions by pressing and holding the POWER button for 3 seconds.
25. During hot air frying, hot air is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and from the air outlet openings. Also, be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the basket from the appliance.
26. Immediately unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming out of the appliance. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the pan from the appliance.
27. Do not place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances.
28. Leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) of free space on the back, sides and above the appliance for proper ventilation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Plug and Cord Instructions

Polarized Plug Instructions

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Before First Use

• Unpack the appliance and its accessories (food basket, trivet). Wash the accessories in hot, soapy water and then wipe them dry. Wipe the interior of the frying cavity with a damp cloth or sponge, and then dry with a paper towel. Make sure the cavity is dry before operating the unit.
• Position the air fryer on a flat, level and heat-resistant surface. Make sure that it is also positioned at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from any surrounding objects.
• It is recommended to let the air fryer heat for about 20 minutes without any food in it. This helps to eliminate grease that may have adhered during manufacturing, and to eliminate the "new" appliance smell.
• Ventilate the room during this period. When your air fryer is heated for the first time, it may emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This does not affect the safety of your appliance.

Caution: When moving the air fryer, make sure that you hold it securely and support the base—do not rely on the food basket handle when moving the air fryer!

Operating Instructions

Preparing for Use

• Make sure that the trivet is securely placed inside the basket. Use the trivet handle located in the center of the trivet to easily insert or remove it from the basket.
• Plug the power cord into a wall socket. The POWER button will turn on to signal that it is ready for use.

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 food basket and trivet in place.
• Keep all ingredients in the basket to prevent any contact with the appliance's heating elements. Do not overfill the food basket.
• Do not cover the air inlet on the top or the air outlet on the back of the unit while the appliance is in use.
• Do not touch the inside of the appliance while it is operating.
• Never immerse the unit's housing in water or rinse it under the tap.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Switch the appliance off. Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the outlet and allow it to cool down completely.

Cleaning the Basket and Trivet

• The basket and trivet can be cleaned in hot water with mild detergent / dish soap, or in the dishwasher. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean them, as this may damage the non-stick coating. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
• To remove baked-on food, fill the basket with hot, soapy water. Soak it for about 10 minutes before cleaning it in the sink.

Cleaning Inside the Cavity

• Wipe the cavity with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry with a paper towel.
• Never use abrasive products in the cavity!
• Never immerse the appliance in water and make sure that no water or moisture penetrates the upper part of the air fryer.
• Clean the heating element inside the air fryer with a nonabrasive cleaning brush to remove any food residue.

Cleaning the Exterior

• Wipe clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Wipe dry.
• NEVER use steel wool, metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
• Do not let any liquids enter the air inlet on the top of the air fryer.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE FRYER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID!
