Important Safeguards
Read all instructions before using the electric appliance. For household use only.
The following basic precautions should always be followed:
- This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or a lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have supervision.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they DO NOT play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance SHOULD NOT be done by children unless they are supervised.
- Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local main voltage before you connect the appliance.
- DO NOT use the appliance if the plug, the main cord or the appliance itself is damaged. Always make sure that the plug is inserted properly into a wall outlet.
- DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- DO NOT let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, nor let it touch hot surfaces.
- To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
- DO NOT plug in the appliance or operate the control panel with wet hands.
- NEVER connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system in order to avoid a hazardous situation. To disconnect, turn off the appliance, then remove the plug from wall outlet.
- DO NOT place the appliance on or near combustible materials such as a tablecloth or curtain. The accessible surfaces may become hot during use. DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- DO NOT place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances. Leave at least 4 inches of free space on the back and sides and 4 inches of free space above the appliance. DO NOT place anything on top of the appliance.
- To avoid the risk of fire: NEVER use parchment paper or other liners while cooking, unless there is food on top of the liner to weigh it down and keep it secured in place.
- DO NOT use the appliance for any other purpose than described in this manual. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- DO NOT leave the appliance unattended when plugged in.
- EXTREME CAUTION must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- DO NOT touch the hot surfaces; use the handle. During air frying, hot steam 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.
- During and after using the appliance, avoid contact with the hot metal inside. The baskets, crisper trays, and racks become extremely hot during the cooking process. Avoid direct physical contact when removing the basket, crisper tray, or racks from the appliance. ALWAYS place basket, crisper tray, or rack on a heat-resistant surface after removing. DO NOT touch accessories during or immediately after cooking.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
- IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance if you see dark smoke coming from the appliance. Wait for the smoke emission to stop before you remove the basket from the appliance.
- DO NOT use outdoors.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cord and Plug Safety
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Electrical Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Power: AC120V, 60Hz, 1650W
Before First Use
- Remove all packaging, stickers, and labels, including the tape securing the baskets to the air fryer.
- To pull out the baskets for cleaning, secure the air fryer with one hand and pull the basket handles straight back with the other hand.
- Remove all packaging from inside the baskets. Thoroughly clean the crisper trays, baskets, and racks with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly.
- Wipe the inside chambers and outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.
NOTE: During the first few uses, there might be a "hot plastic" smell. This is perfectly normal in new air fryers as the material is heated for the first time. The smell will go away after the first few uses.
- DO NOT put anything on top of the air fryer.
- DO NOT place the air fryer against a wall or against other appliances. It is important to leave at least 4 inches of free space above and around all sides of the air fryer to allow for proper ventilation.
- DO NOT fill the basket with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid; this appliance works by circulating hot air.
To avoid the risk of fire:
- NEVER place the air fryer on any cooking surface, including gas or electric cooktops, even if the surface is cool / turned off.
- NEVER use parchment paper or other liners, unless there is food on top of the liner to weigh it down and keep it secure in place.
Oil Spray Recommendation
When spraying food for a crispier finish, we recommend using regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as the latter may damage the accessories.

- Check food for desired doneness a few minutes before cook time elapses and cook a little longer if necessary.
- Always ensure raw proteins reach food-safe temperatures.
- Air fryers perform similar to ovens; follow oven instructions on item packaging or recipe.
- Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
- Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cook time than larger ingredients.
- Preheating the air fryer before adding food will generally deliver the best results.
- When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.
- Turning food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results.
- Toss fresh potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil for a crispy exterior. Air fry the ingredients within a few minutes after adding the oil.
- Do not cook foods that will produce a large amount of grease in the air fryer.
- Place a baking pan or an oven-safe dish in the basket to bake a cake or quiche or to air fry fragile or filled foods.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- NEVER immerse cord, plug, or air fryer in water or any other liquid.
- Do not use metal kitchen utensils or abrasive cleaning materials to clean the baskets or crisper trays, as this may damage the nonstick coating.
Cleaning
NOTE: Clean the air fryer after every use.
- Unplug the air fryer from the outlet before cleaning.
- Let the air fryer cool down completely before cleaning. Remove the baskets from the air fryer to cool it down quicker.
- Clean the baskets, crisper trays and racks in the dishwasher's top rack only, or with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge.
- If residue is stuck to the bottom of a basket, fill it with hot water and dish soap and let it soak.
- Wipe the outside of the air fryer with a moist cloth.
- Clean the inside of the air fryer with hot water, dish soap and a cleaning brush to remove any food residue.
- Ensure the air fryer is completely dry before using.
Storage
- Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.
- Make sure all parts are clean and dry.
- Store the appliance in a clean and dry place.
Environment
Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| The air fryer does not work. | The air fryer is not plugged in or has no power. | Ensure the plug is properly inserted into an outlet and there is no tripped circuit breaker. |
| The timer has not been set. | Tap plus and minus icons to set the required cook time to turn on the air fryer properly. | |
| The basket does not fit inside the air fryer. | The basket is not put into the air fryer properly. | Slide the basket into the air fryer properly. |
| The basket is overfilled. | Do not overfill the basket. | |
| The ingredients did not cook. | The set temperature is too low. | Tap plus and minus icons to set the required temperature setting. |
| The cook time is too short. | Tap plus and minus icons to set the required cook time. | |
| Food is cooked unevenly. | Some foods, especially smaller items, need to be turned halfway through the cook time. | Turn food halfway through the cook time. |
| Food is not crispy enough. | The air fryer basket was overfilled. Many foods need oil to brown and crisp properly. | Cook in smaller batches, keep food in a single layer. Coat food with a small amount of oil. |
| White smoke comes out of the air fryer. | You are preparing greasy ingredients. | When you fry greasy ingredients in the air fryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the basket. The oil produces white smoke and the basket may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the air fryer or the end result. |
| The basket still contains grease residue from previous use. | White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the basket. Make sure you clean the basket properly after each use. | |
