IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER

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

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
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.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
Extension Cord:
- A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The 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 unintentionally.
Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in an air fryer as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
A fire may occur if the air air fryer 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.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of materials other than metal or glass.
Do not store any materials, other than manufacturers recommended accessories, in this air fryer when not in use.
Do not place any of the following materials in the air fryer: paper, cardboard, plastic, and the like.
Do not cover tray or any part of the air fryer with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the air fryer.
Pressing the power icon at any time during the cooking process will shut down the unit causing the display to go dark immediately and power light to go off immediately. The fan will continue running for 40 seconds to cool down the unit.
Use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing of hot grease.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG
This unit 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 1750W

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove and discard all packaging material, labels, and tape from the unit.
Thoroughly clean the accessories with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry all parts before use.
Wipe the inside and outside of the unit 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.

WARNING:

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.

To avoid the risk of fire:

NEVER place the air fryer on a gas or electric stovetop, even if the stovetop is off.
If using parchment paper or other liner, always be sure there is food in the basket so the liner is safely secured in place.

NOTE: When spraying food for a crispier finish, we recommend using regular cooking oil instead of cooking spray, as the latter may damage the accessories.

COOKING TIPS

For an extensive list of foods and their ideal amounts, temperature, and time settings, along with preparation notes, see the Air Fry Cooking Chart and Dehydrate Chart on pages 16-19.
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 temperature.
Air fryers perform similar to ovens; follow oven instructions on item packaging or recipe.
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 (see PREHEAT on page 7). When cooking multiple batches in a row, only preheat before the first batch.
Turning or tossing food halfway through cook time will deliver evenly browned and crispy results (see TURN REMINDER on page 7).
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 or pan in the basket to cook fragile or filled ingredients.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
The air fryer does not work.	The air fryer is not plugged in.	Plug the main

plug into a grounded wall socket.
The timer has not been set.| Tap the temperature controls to set the required cook time to turn on the air fryer.
The ingredients did not cook.| There are too many ingredients in the air fryer.| Put smaller batches of ingredients in the air fryer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.
The set temperature is too low.| Tap temperature controls to set the required temperature setting.
The cook time is too short.| Tap time controls to set the required cook time.
The ingredients are fried unevenly.| Certain types of ingredients need to be shaken halfway through the cook time.| Ingredients that lie on top of or across each other (e.g. fries) need to be shaken halfway through the cook time (see TURN REMINDER on page 7).
Fried snacks are not crispy.| You used a type of snack meant to be cooked in a traditional deep fryer.| Use oven snacks or lightly brush some oil onto the snacks for a crisp- ier result.
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 air fryer. The oil produces white smoke and the air fryer may heat up more than usual. This does not affect the air fryer or the end result.
The air fryer still contains grease residue from previous use.| White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the air fryer. Make sure you clean the air fryer properly after each use.
Fresh fries are fried unevenly.| Quality potatoes will give an even cook.| Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
Potatoes are too starchy.| Rinse the potato sticks properly and dry to remove starch from the outside of the sticks.
Fresh fries are not crispy.| The crispiness of the fries depends on the amount of oil and water in the fries.| Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.

Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result. Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
