General information

When using the Air Fryer, basic safety precautions should be observed. PLEASE READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE AIR FRYER.

1. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. This Air Fryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the Air Fryer by a person responsible for their safety.
2. For indoor household use only.
3. Unplug the Air Fryer from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
4. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or Air Fryer main unit in water or any other liquid.
5. Do not operate the Air Fryer with a damaged cord or plug, or if the Air Fryer malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the Air Fryer to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or refund.
6. Keep hands and utensils out of the Air Fryer bowl when in use.
7. Do not use Air Fryer pan without removable basket in place. Never put items directly into the Air Fryer pan.
8. Do not overfill removable basket to prevent the ingredients from coming into contact with the heating elements.
9. Never place oil directly into the pan. If oil is necessary for your recipe, use it to lightly coat your ingredients instead. This is not a deep fryer.
10. If dark smoke is emitting from the unit, unplug it immediately. Wait for the smoke to clear before you remove the pan from the appliance. Check to make sure the removable basket is not overfilled and ingredients are not too close to the heating element before calling customer service.
11. The pan gets VERY hot. Carry the pan by the handle of the removable basket only and use hot pads if necessary.
12. Never use accessories which are not recommended by the manufacturer. They could constitute a danger to the user and risk damage to the Air Fryer.
13. Never move the Air Fryer by pulling the cord. DO NOT let the electrical cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
14. Place Air Fryer at least 5 inches away from the wall or other appliances as to not block the vents.
15. Place the Air Fryer on a flat, level, stable, heat-resistant surface when using. Do not place the Air Fryer on a soft surface such as a towel.
16. Do not place the Air Fryer on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
17. Do not use the Air Fryer with a damaged outlet.
18. Make sure hands are dry when plugging in and unplugging the Air Fryer.
19. Do not use this Air Fryer for other than intended use.

Safety instructions

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire or serious personal injury. The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are a factor that cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. We do not recommend using an extension cord. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125V, and at least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Polarized plug
NOTE: This Air Fryer has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

• As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
• If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
• If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Electric power
If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliances may not operate properly. The Air Fryer should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances.

1. Do not place the Air Fryer near a heat source.
2. Never leave the Air Fryer unattended while connected to the electrical outlet.

User instructions

Before first use

• Remove main unit from the carton and pull the pan and basket out of the main unit by holding onto handle and pulling straight out.
• Remove all packaging material from Air Fryer, including material used on the removable basket.
• Wash pan, basket and basket divider in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before first use.
• Using a soft dry cloth, wipe down the inside and outside of the main unit taking care to not come into contact with the heating element located on the top of the inside of the main unit.
• Do NOT immerse main unit in water or any other liquid.

How to use
NOTE: The appliance does get hot during use. Hot steam may release through the air outlet. Use extreme caution and oven mitts if necessary, when removing the pan from the Air Fryer.

1. Place the Air Fryer on a flat, level, stable surface. DO NOT place the appliance on a non-heat-resistant surface.
2. Place the basket into the pan until it clicks into place. The handle of the basket fits into the notch on the pan.
3. Pull the clear tab back to block the basket release button.
4. If you would like to use the basket divider, place the divider in the notches of the basket and push down until it is in place. The top of the divider fits into notches on the sides of the basket.
5. Push the pan and basket into the Air Fryer base with the handle. Like with a drawer you are re-aligning, the basket and pan need to line up with slots in the fryer.
6. Please note: If the pan and basket are not inserted properly, the Air Fryer will not turn on.
7. Plug the Air Fryer into the outlet.
8. Preheat the Air Fryer by turning the temperature to 400°F and the timer to 5 minutes, allowing it to warm up.
9. When the timer turns off, pull the pan out of the Air Fryer and add the ingredients into the basket. DO NOT fill the basket higher than MAX line as this could affect the cooking time.
10. Slide the pan back into the Air Fryer.
11. Turn timer knob to desired cook time.
12. Turn the temperature control knob to desired temperature. Turning the temperature past the white line will turn the Air Fryer on.
13. NOTE: If you do not preheat the Air Fryer, add at least 5 minutes to the cooking time.
14. To turn the Air Fryer off, lower the temperature to OFF or turn the timer to OFF.
15. The heat light will turn on and off throughout the cooking process to maintain the cooking temperature.
16. Periodically throughout the cooking process, pull the pan out to check on the food. The heating element will automatically turn off, but the timer will continue counting down. When the pan gets put back into the Fryer, the cooking will continue.
17. Some recipes require shaking the basket to move the ingredients around. To do this, pull the pan and basket out of the fryer and shake the basket. Slide the pan back into the Air Fryer and continue cooking. DO NOT press the release button on the handle during shaking.
18. However, if it is easier for shaking, rest the pan on the hard surface and press the release button to remove the basket prior to shaking.
19. If cooking is not complete, put the pan back into the Air Fryer and set the timer again.
20. When the timer has counted down to 0, the timer will beep and the fryer will automatically turn off. If you want to turn the fryer off manually during use, turn the timer knob counterclockwise (left) until you hear a beep and lower the temperature to OFF.
21. Once cooking is complete, remove the cooking pan and basket. DO NOT turn the basket upside down with the pan still attached to it, as any excess oils that have collected in the pan will drip out and could be hot.
22. Rest the pan on a hard flat surface and press the handle release button to remove the basket from the pan.
23. Empty your ingredients into your desired container.
24. There is also overheat protection built in. If the inner temperature is too high, the overheat protection is automatically activated and the fryer cannot be used. Let the fryer cool down completely. Press the RESET button on the bottom of the unit with a tiny object such as a paperclip.
