IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WARNING
Read all instructions before using and only use this air fryer as described in this manual.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and/or property damage.

Placement

  • DO place the appliance on a countertop only. Always operate the appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.
  • DO NOT place the appliance on or close to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven.
  • DO NOT use the appliance near water or flame.
  • DO NOT use outdoors. Keep out of direct sunlight.
  • DO NOT place on anything that may block the vents on the appliance.
  • DO make sure all parts are dry and free of food debris before use.

General Use

  • DO NOT touch the appliance’s hot surfaces, or any accessories during or immediately after cooking because they will be hot.
  • DO use the appliance’s handles and knobs.
  • DO use oven mitts when removing accessories.
  • DO place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface or cooking plate.
  • DO NOT cover basket with foil. This will cause airfryer to overheat. If using foil DO only use foil in bottom of cooking basket.
  • DO NOT move the appliance while it is in use.
  • DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities to operate this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children and individuals with reduced capabilities. Children should not play with this appliance.
  • DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use. It is not intended for commercial use.

WARNING

  • DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use.
  • DO NOT use the appliance for more than 60 minutes in a 2- hour period.

Air Frying Cautions
When the air fryer is in operation, hot air is released through the
air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches very high temperatures. To avoid personal injury, never place unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to room temperature.

  • DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware pot (such as CorningWare stoneware) for air frying.
  • DO NOT block the vents on the air fryer. Leave at least 13 cm of space around the air fryer when in use.
  • DO NOT place the appliance on a stove.
  • DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials such as tablecloths and curtains.
  • DO NOT cover the air vents while the air fryer is in operation. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to the appliance.
  • DO NOT overfill the air fryer. Overfilling may cause food to contact the heating element, which may result in fire, property damage, and/or personal injury.
  • DO NOT pour oil into the cooking container. If needed, spray food lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Using cooking oil could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
  • DO use caution with cooking containers made of materials other than metal. Failure to do so may result in fire, personal injury, and/or property damage.
    Should the unit emit black smoke during use, press Cancel and unplug the appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before opening the door/basket, then clean thoroughly. For further information refer to ‘Troubleshooting’.

  • DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying foods.

Accessories

  • DO use only accessories or attachments authorised by Instant Brands LLC. The use of parts, accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of personal injury and/or property damage, fire or electric shock.

  • DO NOT store any materials in the appliance when not in use.
  • DO NOT place any combustible materials in the appliance, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, Styrofoam or wood.
  • DO NOT clean the appliance with metal scouring pads or steel wool. Pieces can break off and touch the electrical parts, causing a risk of shock, burns or personal injury and/or property damage.

Power Cord
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from grabbing, entanglement and tripping. This appliance has a 3-prong grounding plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock:

  • ONLY plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
  • DO NOT remove ground.
