3. Before placing ingredients, preheat the machine for 3-5 minutes for better cooking results.

Operation Steps

1. Turn on the power, then touch the [function select button] to select the corresponding function and touch the [start button] to let the machine run for preheating.
2. After preheating is completed, the machine will beep and display "ADD". Hold the top of the machine with one hand and pull the barrel out by holding its handle with the other hand. The barrel must be placed on a stable table.
3. Place the ingredients on the bakeware or basket in the fried barrel.
4. Push the frying barrel into the machine. After the machine is powered on, it will continue to work. The interface will show the set time or allow DIY settings through the control panel for temperature and time. Then, touch the [start button] to begin. The machine enters the heating work state, cooks, and heats the food material.
5. Note on Frying Barrel Insertion: If the frying barrel is not thoroughly pushed in, the micro switch is not triggered, and the machine will be in a power-off state. To resolve this, fully push the frying barrel into the machine. The machine has a 10-minute power-off memory. After taking out the frying barrel and stirring food during cooking, fully push the frying barrel back into the machine. The machine will restore its working state and continue cooking.
6. After reaching half of the set heating time, the machine beeps 3 times. You can then pull out the barrel to flip the food.
7. The machine beeps when cooking is complete. Unplug the power plug. Place the machine on a flat desk and take out the cooked food using auxiliary tools (such as chopsticks and clamp).

Please take out the food carefully. Place it on the desk flatwise to avoid being scalded by steam or the frying barrel tipping over, which could lead to scalding from oil or hot food. Auxiliary tools like chopsticks are recommended for removing food.

Warm Reminder

• The first use requires 10 minutes of dry burning. A small amount of white smoke or odor may appear during this process, which is normal. Do not panic.
• Before operation, check if the bakeware or fried blue is correctly placed to avoid malfunction.
• If the product malfunctions, stop using it and contact the service department immediately.
• Use the bakeware, fried blue, and fried barrel together as a complete unit; avoid using them separately.
• After use, unplug the power plug and allow the air fryer to cool completely before moving.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Clean the air fryer to prevent burning.
• After use, clean the bakeware, fried blue, and fried barrel promptly to prevent damage to the coating from food residue oil.
• Do not use strong abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the machine and affect your health.
• Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the air fryer. Avoid using an overly wet cloth, as water entering the air fryer can cause short circuits and fire.
• Do not use other cleaning equipment, such as a dishwasher, as this may cause damage and affect usability.
• Use neutral detergent or clean water to clean the frying pans and drums.
• Do not use hard or sharp items (like wire balls, blades) to clean the bakeware, fried blue, or fried barrel to prevent scratching.
